This has been a year of firsts for skateboarding. This summer we saw one of the most exciting and most extravagant skate contest ever in the Maloof Money Cup with its first place $100,000 prize. We also the first ever Officer Rivieri prank phone call. Probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life.
Well the guys over at Transworld put together one of the most clever and fun competitions in the first ever Skate And Create compeition. The object of the competition is to put four different shoe teams up against one another. Each team will consist of five team riders, one art director, and one cinematographer. They are locked up in a warehouse, almost like the cast of Big Brother is locked up in a house. Except the skate teams are doing something interesting.
Well after it was all said and done and after four extremely amazingly produced videos, it was the DVS team who came out on top. Their dramatic lighting mixed with spectacular skating gave the film a one of a kind look. Go over to the Transworld site to read a nice interview with DVS team rider Daewon Song.
Check out the winning video below. Then you can check out the other videos by Osiris, Globe, and Emerica. Apparently there was a lot of controversy and bitterness but you can watch and decide for yourself.
