The Paint-skate Experiment

[Resist]

Resistance skateshops new offering....



We`ve developed a system in which the board itself acts as a paintbrush, the wheels are continually fed with paint, the board itself holds paint, and we`ve had numerous riders doing tricks of all types over huge canvasses. The resulting paint lines show a breakdown of the trick that was performed. Every different trick makes for a different paint mark. The show consists of 25 3.5 meter canvasses, all showing different tricks by different riders.

Opening night, Friday 27th April, come one come all!!!

Cheers Grim,



Holding out on the finished works until the exhibition`s done...But here`s another work in progress...

So good... when/if you get to a point where you can share more pics, please do. I really dig this.

[Resist]

You can count on it Grimcity,,,

Got a youtube promo being uploaded in the next few days, and the exhibition is a week from today, so after that I can share what i`ve got.

Glad your liking the concept too.

this is crazy, it's like fingerprints for your tricks 

[Resist]

That about sum it up...So much information from the trick is transfered, you can analyse the tricks and how they they`re performed....

Little promo thing a friend of ours put together, ...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFXxZ03kVoU  might have to cut and paste that...

Still hard to see exactly how the works look, but a better indication of what`s involved.

did you get consistent results? did kickflips look alike, or was there more similarities trick to trick by the same skater?

[Resist]

The results are quite consistent, as in you can distinguish one trick from another, but no two tricks of the same type ( kickflips for example) look the same. Little things like the way the skater was leaning, or the curve on approach, all make for different end reults.

The same trick from two different skaters look similar, but have great variances..
Some skaters have been lightfooted, and it shows in the paint, some skaters have been more dynamic, hence more dynamic results.

That coupled with the skaters choice of colours and trick types has made for quite a broad range of canvasses.

Were the rails ink filled?

Also, the no complies, especially the fact that they left footprints, really made me happy. So very good.

This is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments. Pretty dope and i agree with Grim, the no-comply/handplant were my favorites. Nice!

[Resist]

Hey all, Exhibition went really well, first shots I`ve got back, More indiviuual pieces to follow...
