Awesome Skateboarding

Those who’ve played Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games know that the manual is often used to string tricks together as one massive combo. Skater Christian Alexander pulls it off in real life. Or not.

Another captivating video of freestyle skater Kilian Martin. While we also love his previous skate videos, Juan Rayos’ focus on the tricks  – no special effects, no music – is just as effective.

Another wonderful video from the phenomenal freestyle skateboarder Kilian Martin and fellow skater/director Brett Novak. The song is Adventures in Your Own Backyard.

Filmmaker Sebastian Linda’s visual love letter to skateboarding, the once underground and now successful sport that embodies grace and rebellion, youth and mastery, dedication and recklessness.

A combination of elements from the first two Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games – including the stages, skaters and even the songs – all in HD graphics. Available on XBLA now, PSN and PC later.

Not to be confused with the OG cycle-skates, the futuristic-looking Freerider Skatecycle is a self-propelled skate. It has a pair of 9″ wheels and can easily be carried and stored.

Join Mischo Erban for an exhilarating first-person perspective of his record-breaking downhill run on a skateboard, hitting a top speed of 129.94 km/h (~80.74mph) from a dead stop.

Search for videos of skateboarder Aaron “Jaws” Homoki and you’ll see that he’s all about ollieing from great heights. His entry to the X Games 2012 Real Street competition is no different.

A team of skateboarders is captured in slow motion, pulling off complex and lesser-known tricks with names like “hardflip pretzel,” “nollied dolphin flip,” and the “backside 180 hospital flip.”

A clean, minimal new colorway for skateboarder Eric Koston’s first Nike sneakers. It has a white leather upper instead of the usual suede, a neoprene collar and a light and low gum outsole.

While Skate 3 came out two years ago, it seems that people are still enjoying its glitches and wonky physics. Here’s a compilation of some of its most hilarious problems from YouTuber HelixSnake.

A possibly senile Gandalf takes to the streets on his longboard for a leisurely ride, at times confusing motorists behind him for a 50-foot-tall Balrog. They could always just drive over the double yellow line.

Director Patrik Wallner of Visualtraveling take us on mesmerizing 10-minute journey through colorful locales throughout South Asia, accented by talented skateboarders and their smooth tricks.

The flat platform that toy soldiers stand on makes sense on these tiny skateboarders. Each 24-pack offers 8 different poses. Goes great with these guys. Snowboard and surfboard packs to come.

These guys spent weeks building a ramp so they could speed downhill and do a 360° loop on a longboard. Well, the best laid plans of mice and men… Oh, and take a physics class.

Taylor Rosenbauer knows a thing or two about skateboarding, but he seems to have mastered the miniature version as well. Think of this video like a live-action version of TouchGrind.

Sure, this record was set all the way back in 1996 (and the video quality looks like its from 1986), but we’re still impressed with Sam Tartamella’s epic 2,255 foot-long skateboarding handstand.

A documentary by Bart Saric, chronicling his son’s introduction to skateboarding from when he was a baby. Odin may not be as skilled as this little fella, but he’s learning and he’s having fun.

The Converse China skateboard team checks out the exotic locales of Mongolia, where they grind some tricky rails, ride some camels and get pelted with rocks. An entertaining short by Patrik Wallner.

Another slow motion skateboard video from Adam Shomsky. This time it’s a successful trick pulled off by Robbyn Magby. His feet just clear the twirling board right before he lands, and then – MOOOO

Skateboarder Gou Miyagi pulls tricks we can honestly say we’ve never seen before, in an amazing display of coordination and balance from Heroin Skateboards’ Nasty video series.
