We reject corporate sponsorship agreements, brand endorsements, paid subscription tiers, and sanitized contest leagues. We preserve raw street culture as an open commons.
Meet the core crew navigating night sessions, filming lines, and engineering new DIY spots across the metropolitan grid.
Master of high-speed technical nollie flip combinations over long stair sets and polished marble plazas. Night owl operator.
Pioneer of slappy grind geometry and manual combinations on neglected concrete infrastructure. Chief curator of spot wax formula.
Primary filmer and heavy rail charger. Specializes in single-take rolling lines filmed 2 inches above the pavement at full speed.
Transition technician capable of finding wallrides on any vertical surface. Handcrafts all collective 3D deck pressings.
Why we preserve analog 3CCD sensors and how our filming rig captures the intimate physics of street skateboarding.
Released in 1995, the VX1000 remains the benchmark of skateboard audio-visual fidelity. Its 3 CCD sensors render raw street colors with unrivaled depth, while its internal microphone captures the crisp snap of maple wood against pavement like no modern microphone can replicate.
Every captured tape is digitized via uncompressed FireWire IEEE 1394 captures, stored in dual RAID-1 vault drives, and physically archived in airtight Faraday cases to withstand magnetic degradation.
The non-negotiable rules every Obsidian Oath rider and contributor upholds on the asphalt.
Never skate raw chattered concrete without first grinding it smooth with a carborundum rub brick and applying clear industrial concrete sealer. Respect the architectural integrity so the spot lasts for years.
Do not cake soft candle wax onto marble edges in hot midday sun where pedestrians can slip. Use hard paraffin or gulf wax with light coats, buffed in with an old skateboard wheel.
All grip tape scrap, broken deck plies, drink cans, and sticker peel backings must be placed in city receptacles. Clean spots survive security sweeps; messy spots get knobbed and demolished.
