This skateboarding video is incredibly well done. I particularly like the 42 second mark. If you can’t see it below, click here.

It’s incredible from a filmmaking standpoint, but – as I have said many times before on this blog – it also showcases the deep relationship between skateboarding and the urban environment.

I can’t think of many other sports with that kind of relationship.

Two weeks ago I wrote a post called “Skateboarding and the city." If you liked that post, I recommend you take a look at this 5 minute video called SKATE Toronto. It’s part of a series where local skateboarders provide a guided tour of their city.

You’ll find similar videos for New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Hong Kong, etc. What I like about them (other than the skating, of course) is that they clearly demonstrate the unique way in which skateboarders examine and engage with cities.
