A New Approach To Skateboarding With Takahiro Morita | SKATE TALES – Red Bull

No Comments

Takahiro Morita is a very different sort of skateboarder, really. Japanese skating has changed the coastline of possibility in skateboarding, mostly thanks to the FESN movement. The Far East Skate Network’s videos brought the new Japanese way of seeing and of being to the wider skateboarding world, thereby making all of skateboarding society more imaginative- and maybe a little kinder, too. Takahiro is the brains behind the FESN, and someone more personally responsible for opening up the concept of what skating can be today than almost anyone else in recent years.

From cruising Tokyo to dazzling the Japanese art world, his considered approach to what skateboarding can mean makes him one of the most genuinely unique minds which skate culture has produced, full stop. Madars simply had to meet him!

No Comments

The No Hotels crew are skateboarding’s Beatniks. The Floridians are on a mission to experience the world through skateboarding in the most rudimentary way: living simply, making art, camping where they can and filming their experiences on old cameras along the way.

Their skate philosophy is a throwback to the romance of the open road that American Beat novelist Jack Kerouac first captured in his 1957 book ‘On The Road’.

Madars had to find out more about what makes these rippers tick, so he joins them on a skate mission of nearly 500 kilometres through Argentina to get a sense of their skateboarding life lived with just one single rule: No Hotels!
