Only for the happy, the gifted, the curious and the open minded.

Over 3,000 skaters hit Brighton beach, UK for the sell-out show as Tony Hawk wraps up his European Skateboarding Tour. Some of the most skillful skate boarders performed a range of tricks and amazing spins on one of the biggest vert ramps in Europe. The skating legend, who has reportedly made $80+ million through his video games and merchandise, arrived at the park opposite the Civic Center, in Ham Road, Shoreham, to the amazement of the local skaters. He spent an hour skating at the revamped bowl and signed autographs to the delight of about 100 fans.

Last Night, I had the chance to check the “Dirty Money” screening at the Montalban, courtesy of invites from Hurley and Nike. The documentary details the lives of a group of well-known skaters in Brazil (including Fabio Cristiano) that were responsible for the influx and key growth of skateboard culture in the 80s, as Brazil dealt with the rise, decline, and revival of skating.

Anyone that has skated, danced, painted on a wall, or taken part in some sort of artistic movement in their lives can relate to this movie on some level. One thing, that this film reminded me of is the separation between sport and art which can determined by style, something that cannot be quantified. Instead of doing what everyone else was doing, this group of individuals chose to rise above the structure that society had given them and to pursue their art as a way to provide for their lives. Even through the very tough times, everyone in the film still had each other for support, in the end they skated because of their love for the art, not for money, fame or anything else.
