To close out This Is Skateboarding week, we got an intimate batch of unseen photos straight from Leo Romero and Luciana Ellington. They show you the real behind the scenes moments that before Instagram, we could only guess at. And to get you in the mood, we added a little bonus candid b-roll video with jacked up teens pulling pranks on each other. (Ideal for getting you psyched up to do something stupid in front of your own video camera.) Some diehard Emerica nerds may have seen it already, but most of you probably have not.
Enjoy the trip and thanks for tuning in all week! We’ll shut up about This Is Skateboarding now and return to regular programming next week.
