Transworld – Skate & Create

skateboard city

After the success of Transworlds 2009 Skate & Create contest, it’s back in 2010, by the end of this weekend all the videos should be available on the Transworld Skate & Create[/url] web page.

There are videos from Adidas, Fallen, Etnies, and Lakai (not yet up at time of posting, due 23/08/10), all amazing skating and well worth half an hour of your time. The Adidas and Fallen videos are really artistic, but still include some amazing skating, including come crazy flow section style runs in mid air by the Fallen team (@1:50).

Where as Adidas and Fallen have gone really artistic (which i frankly love), the Etnies entry is a real throw back to 1980’s skating, if you ignore the fact that none of the decks, and i assume (can’t tell) most of the trucks they’re using weren’t around in the 80’s you could be fooled for thinking it was shot on film some 15-20 years ago!

Check all the videos out on Transworld[/url] , and be sure to watch in full screen HD Vimeo goodness!!
