DVS has done an amazing job with their Skate & Create 2009 video — So. Well. Done. Huge props on the art direction & photography by Colin Kennedy, Marc Ritzema & Matthew Deak — they keep it focused on the skateboarding, yet gave it a artistic flair that most videos lack. Great job.

The boys at Activision & Robomodo just put together a brand new site for the game too, so be sure to check it out.

Watch David Gonazales kill this mini ramp in the latest trailer for “Extremely Sorry”, the new Flip Skateboards film coming out soon—this is the footage “that didn’t make the cut”. Jesus.
