[Turtle Boy]

Skateboardermag killing it again this year, this time in India.

Too bad Guru Khalsa is not there, but good footy nonetheless.

[sprayTAN101]

that was so much cooler than i feared!

[Beeda Weeda]

India is gnarly. I feel like i could smell it by watching the video. looks lie a cool series.

[Monty Burns]

[StFlour]

Skateboarder rules. This video is sick, but I can say with some conviction that I never want to visit India. Not my cup of tea.

And everyone I know who has been there says it was amazing.

[ricosito]

That was awesome.  Remember this:

[Useless Wooden Bench]

The write up in the new Skateboarder mag is pretty awesome too

My girlfriend's half indian so going there at some stage in the next couple years to visit her extended family is a definite possibility. I'm stoked but it looks like a pretty heavy experience.

I wanted to go there for so long until I saw that article about how disgusting the Ganges is.

[Chipp]

that kid with the college flip just said it wasnt culture shock and then defines culter shock. way to go temple boy.






that dude said for the most fart.

[NowhereInLife]

good shit.

[Jejenhausen]

I was lucky enough to have a state sponsored trip through Pakistan in 2001 just prior to shit hitting the fan. I still cant believe what I saw and I liken the memories to those of a particularly long drunken bender. The impact of being consistently and constantly wowed for an extended period of time was exhausting.

I would love to go back, especially to this place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohenjo-daro



City as old as egypt, never been properly excavated and is almost unheard of. It had swimming pools, running sewers and multiple story houses. The works.  Most magnificent thing I have ever seen.

On another note, video and spots were rad.

[Joel Wilson]

that was awesome, stoked for the next part.
how did that group of dudes come together? im assuming a wheel/truck sponsor?
also for a street league guy, malto seems pretty down to earth compared to the rest of the dudes

If you go closer to the source of the ganges near the himilaya it is reeally clean, and fresh, really an amazing place.

lol at suciu trying to make a case for no culture shock via how radically different the culture is

[Harem]

Part 1 & part 2 were so good.

Can't believe that guy drove back with Suciu's passport. So incredibly rad for a guy to drive 3 hours just to hand in the passport (Obviously he would've been looked after $$$$)

Also really stoked on Malto. Would never picture him getting out of his comfort zone, let alone go to India.

His comment was that culture shock wasn't an adequate term for the amount of unease/disconnect that he felt in India.  He was saying that when people talk about culture shock, it's usually in relation to something that exists in both cultures while in India, there isn't even any similarity.

EDIT: Where can I see the second part?

[foureyedjim]

click the link to the digital issue in the thread.

just a warning, it may take you a few tries to get the divx player to play the video correctly.  for some reason it wanted to play the video twice asynchronously

[smellyfart]

nestors kickflip on the volcano beautiful!!!

[Brick]

i wonder how the indian people felt about a bunch of white boys crashing their sacred festival

[ice nine]

this line up is really awesome, coulda used some joey pepper but malto has been killing it, the photos are all amazing too.

[Coastal Fever]

i wonder how the indian people felt about a bunch of white boys crashing their sacred festival

Or white boys being there in general, let alone skating their "spots" and filming them.  I'd feel like an asshole being there period.  But if it makes white people feel cultured or whatever going to poor places we bomb, good for them.  I'm sure for every 100 people who hate you, two or three kids get stoked on skating, and that makes it allllll worth it.

Kenny Reed telling some poor kids to be quiet and leave their hangout spot, like honestly.. fuck off.  Get footage at home you lazy bum.

when was India last bombed?? I think they're very happy that we come and spend some foreign cash... but yeah we could also just ignore the third world.

[Omamori]
