Street/Action Sports

Since I'm curious about the streets, I wanted to know different aspects that the streets can offer but I did not want to just learn about everything in one sitting. I wanted to touch each topic that appealed to me one by one so that I can understand how all aspects mold together. I think this is one mistake that some people make, they get too excited at something and just want to know everything in a rush and ends up well, knowing nothing to the point that they loose interest since they didn't take the time to learn about every single drop of juice that the main topic had. (natuto na kasi ako hehe) So now i decided to focus on "street SPORTS" "action sports"


I searched and found out that the roots of street sport is skateboarding. Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and creating various tricks using a skate board. - one meaning that is really easy to understand, but I think there's more to it, as I watched some videos on youtube I noticed that this sport is really about creativity and freedom wherein the riders can really play and create tricks that can give them the feeling of fulfillment and excitement which for me can really be contagious, that the feeling can actually  be passed on to their fellow riders and to the people who watch them on the streets 

activities like long boarding, surfing, and motor cross are also known as part of action sports and has the same deeper description of skateboarding but I am aware that these are all different sports, and are unique in their own ways and every rider just have their own drive and core.

"Street sports are an expression of the spontaneous, improvisational and creative humans"

This video of Michael and Kevin Castillo really appealed to me, they were really having fun and very care free. It showed how they really enjoyed skateboarding (Kevin) and long boarding (Michael). I felt like they were just living the moment and capturing every move they make with their boards I wish I could have a nice and interesting conversation with them and just uncover what they really felt.. (try to finish the video so that you'll know what I mean)

                                                                      

In general, I want to know the experiences of different spontaneous, improvisational,  and creative riders. I wan to listen to them, watch them, and learn how the work the "streets". They just seem to have fun in so many different flavors!

I also know that VANS helps out some riders here in the Philippines and makes sure that they stay creative and spontaneous. They keep their riders minds off the wall.

I can say that these are the people who wears VANS all day, all night! *represent!

Will have a little adventure and will interview some people who falls into this category so you guys better watch out for that! :D
