Kirk Dianda posted his Flat Ground Case Study on Club Mumble and it’s rad. It’s “an experiment in documenting style and technique“. It overlaps silhouettes of different tricks done switch, goofie, and fakie which shows the similarities and creates a “moving Rorschach test“.

Aw, that’s so awesome! I always wanted to try an experiment with a “style bot,” or maybe several skaters disguised in a black body suit, so all you can see is their style. Thanks for posting this!
Cool! I have always thought that if skating was filmed like Kill Bill style silhouettes would be cool looking as well.
Speaking of Flatland, the Freestyle Championships are coming to Philly this September, should be epic! http://www.phillyfreestyle.com
That back foot is a little too yo’d out.
Haters gonna hate. Who cares what the trick looks like dumbass, it’s about doing something new and different filming and editing-wise.
