Color mag and Red Bull just premiered 5 videos, each made by groups of skateboarders with a filmmaker. It was supposed to be a super 8 only competition, but sadly only two videos were composed exclusively of super 8 (they also happened to be the best). The rest tried, unsuccessully, to splice old digital footage amongst the fresh super 8 footage (this is presumably due to the contest’s rules that the teams had only 10 rolls of film and 72 hours to produce). It was all wrong. My favourite, unsurprisingly, was the Vancouver submission, Knife Fight, linked above. It was shot by Corey Adams, who did Harvey Spannos a while back (more info here), and the riders were Quinn Starr, Mitch Charron, Rick McCrank. Also along for the ride was Dylan Doubt, who photographed the whole thing for Color.

Love it. And the runaway wheelchair.
