Vitaminewater launched a serie of originals ads in France. The concept is pretty cool, find a concept or an object and quote his enhanced version. More: Kissing is like handskaking, only better ; “It was magic” is like “Thanks”, only better.

Mountain Dew Skatepark Designed As A Giant Pinball Machine (New Zealand)

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Montain Dew: Three new electric flavours. One extreme Idea.

A fully functioning pinball machine you can skate. This world first skatepark makes you the ball in a 600 square foot machine rigged with sensors, sounds and lights, to score your run just like pinball.

Park open 4-26 June. Gate 2, Hickory Ave, Henderson (New Zealand). (Vimeo).

The pinball park allows you to record your high score or to create a halo 360 of one of your trick (20 cameras recording a still picture on various angles). Check the official website.

Built in only 17 days for an upcoming competition, this park cost almost $500,000 to create and will remain open for only 3 weeks once the contest is over.

A true replica of a pinball machine down to the lights, sounds and launcher at the beginning, this park is a dream come true for anyone who has ever been a teenage skater. (Hypebeast).

The 20 Project by Adam Johnson

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Starting in August we will set out to accomplish what some people thought we failed at with our last project. We switched up the format a bit and instead of making a tour video we will be making a profile video with all the tour footage being used for updates online.

20 skaters limited to 20 tricks for their part. Anything else will go online to promote the project. Sure to be wild parts featuring some of the best established talent as well as up-and-coming skaters.

Featuring Alex Broskow, Chris Farmer, Don Bambrick, John Bolino, Billy O’Neill, Montre Livigston, Victor Arias, Michael Collins, Michael Garlinghouse, Bfree, PJ Peincak, Kruise Sapstein, Ross Kuhn, Tien Nguyen, Enanoh, Adam Exline, Dylan Davis, KC Roche, Dominic Sagona, Nick LaBarre.

With your pledges we can be assured of taking the above skaters to the far reaches of America and Canada and making for what could very well be the video of the year. Don’t look at this as a handout or a donation as you will be getting something very worthwhile with your donation (whichever level you choose) and you will be helping to keep the movement progressing.

Money will be used to fund travel costs. The more we have the further we go and the better the video will turn out.

We look forward to your support and keep in contact with the tour at youhatetoloveit.com.
