Takahiro Morita is a very different sort of skateboarder, really. Japanese skating has changed the coastline of possibility in skateboarding, mostly thanks to the FESN movement. The Far East Skate Network’s videos brought the new Japanese way of seeing and of being to the wider skateboarding world, thereby making all of skateboarding society more imaginative- and maybe a little kinder, too. Takahiro is the brains behind the FESN, and someone more personally responsible for opening up the concept of what skating can be today than almost anyone else in recent years. From cruising Tokyo to dazzling the Japanese art world, his considered approach to what skateboarding can mean makes him one of the most genuinely unique minds which skate culture has produced, full stop. Madars Apse simply had to meet him!

The No Hotels crew are skateboarding’s Beatniks. The Floridians are on a mission to experience the world through skateboarding in the most rudimentary way: living simply, making art, camping where they can and filming their experiences on old cameras along the way. Their skate philosophy is a throwback to the romance of the open road that American Beat novelist Jack Kerouac first captured in his 1957 book ‘On The Road’. Madars Apse had to find out more about what makes these rippers tick, so he joins them on a skate mission of nearly 500 kilometres through Argentina to get a sense of their skateboarding life lived with just one single rule: No Hotels!

The true unit of measurement in skateboarding is heart and not skill. Skateboarding doesn’t require skill to begin with, but it demands heart from day one. The people who gain most from skating are those to whom it means most, and you will go a long way before you find more pure skateboarding passion than within our main man Gose Gerald and the Ugandan Skateboarding Society. This episode of Red Bull Skateboarding “Skate Tales” sees Latvian pro skater extraordinaire and man of the people Madars Apse enlist Tyler Surrey to go and meet the skate crew who built their own unique park from plans off the internet, and then started to create their own moves! One magic facet of skateboarding is that it adapts to the environment in which it finds itself- from the downhills of Brazil to the built environment of Japanese cities. In Uganda, Madars finds the local skate crew ripping their own mini-mega ramp doing tricks with both no name and many - and learns from rulers like Rashid Sserunjogi, Travor Kanyike, Shanitah Blessings and Brian Bukenya what skateboarding has offered them and their hopes for where it may yet take them.

Felipe Nunes is a 22-year old skater from Curitiba in Brazil. Aged just six, he lost both legs while playing on train tracks. After five years in a wheelchair, he was given a longboard to get around on. That longboard would become a skateboard- and the rest is history. In a short space of time he was competing in and winning contests against all-comers within his native Brazil. People began to notice just how talented he really was. Aged eighteen, Felipe felt ready to make it beyond Brazil and started a social media fund to enter Tampa Am. Tony Hawk championed his cause, and Felipe was headed to Florida. Incredibly, he made the Semi’s, and finished 21st overall as the only adaptive skater in the contest! Felipe had the skateboarding world’s attention, and soon joined Tony’s brand Birdhouse Skateboards.
