Nike SB has put together an awesome video of their skating team “invading” Qatar with their skateboards. Documentary-styled video features such skateboarders as Dani Lopez, Dani Rubio, Dani Lebron, Juan Algora and Adrian Del Campo, was produced by Ivan Jimenez and filmed by Enrique Mayor. Great tricks, great views, interesting insights in skateboarding in Qatar. Definitely worth your time.

Just found in my RSS feed (in Polish, unfortunately, so won’t link it to international audience)
Virtual Magic, motion studio from Poland sponsored by AMD, is working on a project called “Asylum 5D”, 12 minute animation that will be shown in special 4D cinemas. While watching, you will be able to feel the environment, as screening will be accompanied by odours, feeling of blowing wind etc.
Viewers will be able to dip into gloom atmosphere of the asylum and feel the dark mood – says director, Dariusz Zduńczyk. Apart from realistic animation, cinemas will be perpared to make viewers smell odours, feel rain on their faces or insects crawling over their legs.
Sounds awesome. Don’t know about you, but I can’t wait.
Are you a fan of graffiti, street/stencil art and Banksy? If yes, today is your lucky day – I will be giving away one copy of “Wall And Piece”, illustrated, commented album with Banksy’s greatest works – old and new. Here’s what Amazon has to say about the book:
Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills and umbrellas.If you look hard enough you’ll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals.
Sounds like fun? Now you can get your own copy of the book absolutely free from MariuszCiesla.com! More details after the jump.
