Fluid poetics

As an almost instant follow-up to yesterday's post with the new Film Trucks edit starring Léo Valls and Tom Botwid, today, the homies over at Poetic Collective (Tom's company) just dropped the entirety of their latest video offering: "FLUID", via TransWorld SKATEboarding. Simon Kallkvist and Samuel Norgren's excellent segment from said full-length production had been floating around the Interwebs for a few days already but now, every bit of the twenty-minute timeline assemblage is available for you to stream in the intended order. All of which will be set to the beat of various bench slappies and feet stepping on the ground - one that will not just hammer your eardrums in but also your retinas. One more incentive to think urban environments differently - we'll take it!

Swedish slappies

Our Swedish homies over at Poetic Collective just earned themselves the luxury of a worldwide-scale collaboration with Film Trucks, ex-Cliché founder Jérémie Daclin's new company and, as though to make it all the more official, the virus known for atrophying one's ollie muscles was spread all the way to and around Malmö - where some fine lads await us to reassure that the disease may not be that lethal after all. All filmed by Markus Bengtsson, also behind the recent Copenhagen edit: "Pas De Problème..."!

Swedish Spring

Poetic collective and Levi’s skateboarding have teamed up to make “On Land”. Fully filmed in the streets of Stockholm, this video represents the arrival of the few rays of sun which erase the long Swedish winter opening up somehow the “skateboarding season”. And as always, to our greatest delight, these young Swedish have this way so creative and atypical to approach spots with combinations of tricks that we might not even have thought of.

P.A.'s tip: "Sortie Marseille"

Et, oui, LIVE a une nouvelle voix, dans la personne de notre tout premier stagiaire, Pierre-Alexandre. On dit bonjour, tout le monde! Et on l'écoute, parce qu'il n'a pas mauvais goût, vu son premier conseil: "Les suédois de Poetic Collective qui nous offrent quelques belles rimes (tricks) sur Marseille. Voilà quelque chose qui fait plaisir. Et, comme d’habitude, ils ont juste cette petite touche d’originalité qui nous donnerait envie de faire fuser wallies, slappys et no-complys. Certes, on est loin du gros smith grind sur un rail de vingt marches, mais c’est bien aussi, un peu de poésie dans ce monde de brutes."
