In August I posted an awesome monochromatic skate video from the folks at 5Boro. As great as that one was, their holiday video (below) is nothing short of fantastic. Click play to enjoy the beautiful videography and styley skating.

Thanks again RC, for turning me onto this vid.
I want this Stussy Livin’ cruiser deck. I love the shape. It has lines that are reminiscent of boards that I skated in junior high. Not to mention it is made by a brand that was hot in the same era. I like long boards to have some versatility, like the kick nose + tail on this thing. It’s something that you can bomb hills with, as well as throw the occasional shuvit.

I have some friends that used to skate for 5boro. They seem like a decent outfit. Here is their Fall ’11 clip. I think that the monochromatic edit is a nice touch. See how many of your favorite NYC spots you can identify–

A couple of weeks ago, Josh Maready gave us a tour of NYC via a GoPro mounted to the bottom of his skateboard. This week, Olexo Skateboards takes us to India. Although the point of view in this video is not from beneath the skate deck, the imagery is equally stunning. The French scored some more points in my book, with this one. Check it out–

My homey Josh Maready shared this video on FB today. I couldn’t help but pass it along. Last time we hung out together, he was telling me about this idea that he had to put a camera on his skateboard and go skating. I thought it sounded like an awesome idea, and also wondered how the camera would hold up (and apparently it didn’t). But Josh was able to put together some pretty remarkable footage anyway. He is a fantastic skateboarder. It is almost as fun to watch from the underside of his board, as it is to watch from the third person perspective. Anyway, check it out.
