This. So much love. This young skateboarder who goes by the name Skatbirker never gave up. And he had a village of support. When he finally pulls it off. So good. Imagine being lifted up by so many people. What a delight.
Allow me to introduce you to Australia’s Arisa Trew. She’s the first girl in the world to pull off a 720 in a female competition. And, oh, yeah—she’s 13.
This clip is from a run that earned her 1st place in Tony Hawk’s “Vert Alert.”

I am a keen skier - I've skied since I was about 3. Very soon there won't be anywhere to ski. Taking a flight to a ski field just makes it worse.
I took up #skateboarding as a substitute because I love the feeling of moving my body at speed through space. The fact that I can do it for free multiple times a week within 15 minutes of my house instead of spending thousands on a family trip is a massive bonus. #ClimateEmegency#grief#flightShame
Ready to take my old ass to the skatepark for an early morning session. Just waiting for Mini-me to get ready. Getting back into this has been SO MUCH FUN... and so fucking painful 😂😂😂 #skateboarding#oldskaters
During my long May weekend in Kraków I had a rare occasion to grab a few beers with my remote teammates. We finished the evening early, but two of us decided we're not done and went for a late night walk.
Half an hour before the alcohol prohibition (yup, it's a thing in this one city in Poland!) we bought a few beers and started sipping them illegally in one of the local parks.
And guess what? Well, my teammate had a skateboard. And I had my fastest lens on my camera.
So, what happened next? Well, around 2am somewhere in the center of Kraków one IT nerd started testing his old skateboard skills. The other IT nerd sat on the ground and started stress-testing his Viltrox f/1.4 lens and an ISO setting well above 20k.
My lovely friend successfully landed a few jumps.
I missed a lot of frames because focusing late at night is hard, but a few serviceable frames happened as well.
So yeah. 90% of people will stop to look at my boring touristy snapshots and move on. I'm more excited about this spontaneous drunk session in extreme lighting conditions. 🤷
I did it, I ollied up a London/Euro gap for the first time ever! It's super sloppy and stiff and my friend messed up the slow mo but I don't fucking care because I know I did it and it felt great! Fuck yeah! #Skateboarding#LaterSkater
