Team Dream Team: A short film by Dillon Buss

team_dream_skate

This short film by Boston skater Dillon Buss just won the Most Creative award at the film and photography competition Connect The Dots. Four skaters get detention and drift off into dream scenes paying homage to Gonz, tripping on evolution, grinding tree trunks and cruising as superheroes.

Beckys Toys: Isle of Wight skate video 1989

beckys_toys_skate_video_uk

Wight Trash have uploaded the Beckys Toys scene video shot back in 1989/90 filmed in the car parks and streets of the Isle of Wight with John Cattle and co. This comes with Wedding Present, Dinosaur Jr and That Petrol Emotion tunes used as soundtracks and sums up a long lost but never forgotten era in skateboarding so well. Supermarket skate bullying as an ender too, such innocence!
