The four year wait is over and the World Cup is well underway, with some of Europe’s best teams making early exits and Brazil making steady progress. Prior to the start of the tournament, Nike SB provided a slightly different playing field for the nations involved, as some of the biggest names in skating come together at the worlds epicentre of passionate football culture.

With the two sports tough on both body and mind, in particular the foot, Nike SB celebrate this ‘brotherhood’ cruising through the streets of Brazil. As the stadiums fill, the streets empty and with it comes a special atmosphere making Rio and Sao Paulo some of the most exciting skateboarding cities in the world.

European riders – Wieger van Wageningen, Denny Pham, Maxime Geronzi, Dani Lebron and Kyron Davis linked up with their Brazilian brethren Luan Oliveira and Fabio Cristiano, to produce a short film that follows their journey through the streets of the two unique cities.

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Along with being deeply involved with the Long Live Southbank campaign, Henry Edwards-Wood delivers his latest edit entitled Innocence and Experience.

The short film documents the ever changing face of London skateboarding and features a plethora of UK and European skateboarders including Kyrone Davis, Lucien Clarke, Blondey McCoy, Casper Brooker, Nick Jensen, Sylvian Tognelli, introducing Domas Glatkauskas and many more.

The culturally diverse city draws influence, experiences and styles from across the globe, and along with its unique terrain it is one of the most vibrant and individual scenes in the world, with a rich history in skateboarding.

The latest instalment in the independent Hold Tight London series, contrasts the new faces with the more established heads that emerged earlier in the series. With the big smoke as its back drop this awesome short film presents a gritty yet refreshing take on one of the most exciting and documented cities in the world.
