We just love this short video clip of kids skateboarding shot on a RED Camera and slowed down to 120 frames per second. From the subtle flick of a heel to the flexing of the board, every minute detail comes through in high definition bliss.

This is pretty cool.. but you should check out the opening scene to the skateboarding flick “Yeah Right”… Shot by Spike Jonze… It was released back in 2003 and is incredible..

Thank goodness someone has figured out a new way to film skateboarding.
I swear, if I see another baggy fool ‘grind’ down a handrail on a video I’ll scream.
Yeah, it takes skill and I can’t do it but I can’t pogo-stick on a jelly either..so it all works out in the end.

Wow. This makes me jealous.
If only technology like this had been available back in the days when I was shooting skateboarding.
Andrew Conklin’s point about checking out “Yeah Right” is a good one. But I have a suspicion that was shot on high speed film camera, like the ones used for motion analysis. The cost in film stock alone, excluding equipment would have been frightening.
