THIS LITTLE 6 YEAR OLD KID RIPS! HE’S EVEN GOT STEEZE!

Check out this short video of local Swansea skater Ryan Olsen rippin’, filmed by Joe Maggs. I haven’t seen him skate for a good few months and he’s progressed loads over that time, this video really blew me away. All the young dudes seem to progress way faster than us old guys did back in the 90′s, luckily they are still plagued with bad knees and ankles so we aren’t bitter, haha.

Check out Joe’s other skate videos here.

Skateparks are finally starting to pop up all over Britain, some in the most unlikely of places. Some councils are awesome and have gone to great lengths to provide park facilities for skaters, bmxers et al but it seems that others just aren’t trying very hard at all, my local council, Swansea, for example. Efforts have been made for many years to sort something out but nothing has been achieved, this isn’t entirely the councils fault though! Skaters need to pull their finger out and make it known that they need a park, they need to turn up to meetings, write letters, contact the paper etc.

Anyone out there that lives in a city without a skatepark needs to watch the videos below of the amazing parks being built by Maverick Industries around the UK. Maverick are absolutely killing it with their parks, the designs are second to none and if you want something like this to skate then get in contact with Maverick on any of the links at the bottom.

This is a cool little video made by a dude for a school project “The concept was to create an announcement trailer for a fake video game. SK8-bit is a 3D “game” with a 2D pixel art visual style thing. the footage was rotoscoped BY HAND in Photoshop; no crazy video filters or anything like that.”

Check out this wacky video! I reckon it’s got to be a lot harder than he makes it look…
