If you were to aim your telescope towards the shores of Germany then you may just come across these here pirates who have stopped walking the plank and shoved some wheels on them instead. Formed from the flotsam that emerged after their own shipwreck, Wasted Youth have emerged as skate-and-destroy pirates ready to plunder, steal and get gnarly across Europe!
Have a peep at their introductory trailer below and be don’t be surprised if you’re made to skate the plank soon!
The Adidas international team have spent the early days of their summer shredding the marble dreamscapes that make up the island of Gran Canaria. Chewy Cannon, Kurt Winter, Raul Navarro, Petr Horvat, Günes Özdogan and Klaus Bohms got out there and filmed this super feel-good edit. Get hyped on this and go have some fun in the sun.
Gran Canaria sure looks a whole lot nicer to skate than when I used to holiday there as a kid. Better add that to your ever-extending list of places to take your plank then…
