Tron Premiere Skate Ramp

The idea is pretty gimmicky and a bit of a flash in a pan, but aesthetically, I was quite impressed by the concept of it! Taking it away from the hype of Tron and you could see some very cool skate installs being done around the world.

It works by equipping the skaters with ipods and programming them with a custom-built app to measure their air time and trigger graphics whilst in the air and on landing.

SKATEISTAN: TO LIVE AND SKATE KABUL
Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is a touching & beautifully shot film that
follows the lives of a group of young skateboarders in Afghanistan. Operating against the backdrop of war and bleak prospects, the Skateistan charity project is the world’s first co-educational skateboarding school, where a team of international volunteers work with girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17, an age group largely untouched by other aid programmes.

See our original post in June on Skateistan with amazing black and white photos HERE.
