Brazilians

How to make Brazilian skateboarding:
Take some tech ledge skating, a slice of mega pop, 2 tablespoons of flip-in-flip-outs, 1 can of tough as fuck dudes, 3 teaspoons of  skill, determination and talent. Bake until it’s brown. Wrap it in some baggy gangsta outfits. Serve.
Apparently, that was the old recipe, or the one that we are more familiar with, because Brasil’s scene is far more diverse than that, or better to say wild (Portuguese – Selvagen).  Wild side of Brazilian skateboarding has most of the ingredients of the old recipe, although its wrap is slightly different.

Frog Skateboards – Hjalte

Frog Skateboards gave Denmarks Hjalte (Yaldi) a guest pro model and realeased this edit along with it. Don’t know how guest pro models work, you are a pro for one company, and your homies from another company make another pro model for you? Anyway, frog is rad and their videos make you want to go skate, so what not to like about this.

Nevsky Express

Russian Adidas skateboarding division is run by good people who understand what they are doing. At least it seems like that from the videos they put out and the team they have. This video is particularly of interest to us as it shows or homie the talented young Dilip Kharel, a skater from Moscow, who happened to visit Riga this summer. We have filmed some clips with him and some future Rajon projects are going to feature him in familiar Riga spots.
