1FS Around the World: C

Moving right along...C brings us to the Czech Republic, Cuba and China.

Petr Horvat is Czech. This is from the video called "A Nomads Point of View".


Cuba is awesome. I hope to visit there in the near future. As ghetto as it looks, that fountain spot in Havana looks super fun. Peep this video by Red Bull showing some of Cuba's scene.

The Cuban scene is a difficult one...as is most anything in Cuba. A guy in Britain has been helping the scene out as much as he can. Peep the short doc he did...Here

Now my Chinese; whether it be Cantonese or Mandarin isn't exactly on point...I actually speak a small local dialect from Inner Mongolia. Anyways...This is a team promo from a Chinese company called Gift.

1FS Around the World: B

Heres "B". Today I've picked the countries of Belgium, Brazil and Bulgaria

Heres Lionel Krup from Belgium. I gather its from a company called Homemade, and its from 2004.

Skateboarding is gigantic in Brazil, and I have a hard time deciding which Brazilian is my fave. There are many that seem to come and go. I did find a promo for a new video from a company called Quantica. Its new, so doubt many will have seen it.

I have found that some countries have a very young skate scene. Bulgaria must be one of those. I found some stuff...most notably a Blueprint tour of Bulgaria. But I want to profile locals. So here is a bunch of Bulagarian kids doing their thing.

1FS Around the World: A

So I'm in blog mode again. In celebration of that I have decided to do a new section showing some international skateboarding. A lot of this stuff gets over looked; and 8that sucks. I'll try my best to go through the alphabet and post some skaters from different countries. Unless its impossible...X and Z come to mind.

Today we start with the letter A.

Chris Pfanner is from Austria, and he is on Anti Hero.


Chima Ferguson is from Australia...This is his part from Volcom's "Lets Live".


Argentina is a little tougher, I could just post a Butcher clip, but thats too easy. Here is a dude named Paris Laurenti...Nothing amazing or anything but he skates to the Smiths...and well, you know.

*I actually just re-watched this...This kid has a rad "who gives a shit" style. Down



And here is a little ESPN clip about skateboarding in Buenos Aires.

1FS Throwback Clip #27

Anthony Correa from 1997. I found this gem on the tube...its post worthy.
