Skateboarding in India

This is not something that we see too often in India. Probably due to the traffic and the possibility of being clotheslined by two donkeys tied neck to neck. The donkey part is a true story that actually happened to a cyclist that didn't see the rope as the donkeys stampeded towards him.

To shortly sum it up, there are three skateboarding doods featured in a film that is directed by Studio Ores & Guilhem Machenaud. It takes place in Bangalore, Jaipur, New Delhi and Agra - 2011. Surprisingly the skateboarders where brave enough to ride on Indian roads.

The filming is sincerely well done and captures daily life in these Indian cities. The skateboarders do their thing and the local on-lookers do what they always do when they see something interesting. They watch and cheer if they like what they see or simply go about their daily routine. It's also great to see that locals participate in the action.



From the Oxelo Skateboards site:

Here is the latest production OXELO skateboards signed Guilhem Machenaud Studio and Ores. Probably the best trip we have ever made​​. A real meeting between the skateboard and people in a country just incredible. It lets you discover and share.
