Some interesting videos that are a little different than what we would associate with the skateboarding video.
The Best International Film winner Plank hosted on the emerica website was made last year by Billy Pols. It’s a story about Dutch/Morrocan skateboarder Nassim Guammaz. Although he didn’t win it in 2009, he went on to win the Street Section of the 2010 etnies European Skateboard Championship in Basel, Switzerland.
