Second rite of Passage

The Polish Passage Skate Co., anecdotally strong of quite the quality Norwegian connections we were introducing you to just a few days ago, are back online today with a hit, under the form of the second chapter of their new video offering, by Marcin Jakiel - and this one is dedicated to featuring some impressive talents of the more local origin this time, displayed skating around the cities of Wroclaw, Warsaw and Milan, and what's there to express - but a warning on the next seven minutes slapping you in the face. The combination of a clean production and such a raw style really does function, and even more so that the skateboarding itself is particularly insane. Difficult spots, surprising tricks, style all the way through : one more reason to reflect on how many skateboarders just kill it around the world from a gazillion of places relatively isolated from the industrial hotbeds.

First rite of Passage

Barely a few days after the Couchraiders' newest video offering, it's now the turn of another crew based in Poland: Passage to get featured on LIVE, via the first chapter in a dyptich of edits filmed in Oslo and Worclaw, respectively, by Marcin Jakiel. So, this one prominently features the Norwegian capital, where Marcin obviously has his share of connections seeing as besides himself, here, no less than twenty skateboarders can be witnessed over the sixteen minutes of screen time. Passage has been particularly active on YouTube over the past year and now, we're eagerly waiting for the second part in the series - one that will represent Marcin's peregrinations in his home country this time, camera in hand and wheels under his feet, just like the tradition recommends!
