Leeside Skateboard Mayhem. It's time to visit Canada!

This is how they spend their Halloweens in Vancouver. The Zenga Bros. give us a sampling of the glorious chaos I have been missing out on this whole time.  Come October, I'll be booking my flight for the Great White North!

Brett Novak films Kilian Novak. Skateboarding made an artform.



“A Skate Regeneration” by Brett Novak, is a jaw-dropping film featuring skateboarder Kilian Martin. I've definitely invested numerous years into skateboarding in my younger days and still follow it today. Despite the best efforts of the X-Games and other assorted televised events, forcing skateboarding onto a more viable mainstream platform, the average American remains aloof about the sport. Its still a bunch of punk kids thrashing up their city's sweetly polished stair rails to them. I can neither confirm or deny that assumption, Brett and Kilian present interwebers and You Tubers with a different perspective. From Brett's incredibly innovative and at times breathtaking cinematography, Patrick Watson's soundtrack to Kilian's skateboarding which can only be described as "poetry" we come to a new view: these videos escalates skateboarding from a mere sport to a true artistic expression.
