Skateboarding is an extreme sport that includes skating and performing tricks with skateboards.

It is not only a sport, a form of art and a means of transportation, but an unique culture and identity.

Collaboration of Lego7 and Ericlego321

Lego7:

Skateboarding is a sport that I loved when I was in college. It influenced my music preferences and clothing style. My youth was immersed in the life style of skateboarding.

I chose the most common "Street Style" in skateboarding to interpret my Lego creation, and at the same time pay tribute to my youth. The colorful skateboarders in the gray scene use the sidewalks, stairs and guardrails to play freely. Jump, gliding and cruising on the streets, show yourself unfettered.

Ericlego321:

While I tried to be as faitful as possible to 7's brilliant original design, lots of changes were made to make the model sturdy, buildable and have good buiding experience.

For instance, the heads, torsos and the handrails that were completely redesigned for stability.

The 2 base sections redesigned to speed up the building process and accomodate sturdy foundations for the transparent poles to allow posing. Minor color changes were also made to accomodate BDP's palette.

It was challenging but we're both happy of the result under the limits of the guidlines and BDP part selection.
