Now I am sure you have sen the Youtube videos of
Gou Miyagi and the insane round rails he gets on...
Well the video that it's from is called Overground Broadcasting / Underground Broadcasting. The guy who did it is a homie, Takahire Morita.
We meet back in 2001, when I lived in Brooklyn.
He came over to film and skate. We hung out a lot and skated and all that.
Since then, he has spent the last 7years going back to NYC once a year to film ( a long with 12 other counrties).
He is truly a heart felt skater! Mr.Morita (as I call him), has been doing Far East for over a decade now and bringing the Japanese skateboard world to the rest of us!
He is a great part of skateboarding and his video is the most diverse video/ film of/ about skateboarding I have ever seen!
So here is a list of some of the poeple in the video, that

About 2 hours / Double DVD of skateboarding all over the globe and from 100's of skaters that you know and should know!
Check out the
Far East Skate Network...
I've traveled and filmed in 13 cities around the Globe.
I had so many linguistic problems filming overseas,
but with a communication tool such as skateboarding
which is equal to all things got me through it.
