Breaking News: Euroskaters Destroy Berlin

The City of Cracked Statues II is solid proof you don't need a refurbished VX camcorder to film a great video, nor do you need to be dropping nollie 360 late-flips down a 20-stair to be an innovative street skater. It's all about the art and the steeze, baby!

Stefan Vogtländer of Bubble Magazine and his ragtag group of Euros get out there and (respectfully) rip some insanely "locals only" spots in Berlin. This video is weird in the best way. Our ankles hurt thinking about riding those ancient-ass cobblestone streets. Have you ever seen someone unbolt a handrail so politely? It's sickening.

This video is some nu-old-school shit with grimy spots, great music selection, and truly interesting skating. We love the ubiquity of that urban grime. The camera work is beautiful, especially the black-and-white B-roll. Is this secretly a German "shot on iPhone" advertisement?
