Okay guys – it’s time to get real. This video that you’re about to watch is most assuredly the coolest video I’ve ever made. Seriously. It’s really freaking awesome.

This project was a collaboration (all awesome projects are, aren’t they?) between myself and my associate producer Josh Friedman and a handful of the greatest fingerboarders on the planet – Mike Schneider, Taylor Rosenbauer, Doug Bodkin and Tim Hurley. Josh, who animates the wonderful R.Maker Adventures and moonlights as a 3D designer, designed a bunch of skate ramps in Sketchup and put together the ultimate indoor skatepark which the boarders came in to shred on. And shred they did.

The best part of all this? Now you can MakerBot your own skatepark using the design files on Thingiverse. So make your own park, customize your own ramps, make your own sweet videos and keep on keepin it awesome!

Check out minipimmer’s longboard camera mount! ^1 2  While designed for his specific camera phone, phone case, and board – the ideas here could easily be adapted for use with just about any combination of phone, camera, and skateboard.  Minipimmer offers a sage disclaimer that “Note this is meant to take movies while cruising and going around in a calm way, this is not meant for tricks, please don’t blame me if you use this and you run over your phone!!”

Now I’m thinking someone just might need to design one that is designed to hold a camera/phone in place during tricks.  Also, how about a snowboard cam mount!
