Natas Kaupas


This is part 1 of Natas Kaupas' biography. Natas is the capital O.G. x G.O.D. of street skateboarding. From the way you looked to the way you skated, he was the the guy who laid down the blueprint of what street skating is 2day.

And this is Natas' classic part from "Streets Of Fire". This part singlehandedly had all the skaters back in 1987 wanting those hi-top Elleese he's rocking.... I was definitely 1 of them.

This Natas "Kitten" board is 1 of my most favorite boards in my collection.
Signed and numbered, still in the plastic...

Ferrari,

I remember I said what up randomly at the Kid Kudi show at Cinespace awhile back. I am an undergrad Cinematic Arts major and I just completed a digital short film / video art piece that I think you might be into. It's about reality/dreams/sleep/cinema/desire/technology. I shot it entirely with a Leica digital still camera in 720p HD video (no audio!! had to add sound after shooting!). Check it out on Vimeo (I couldn't upload it to youtube cause it was too long and too big of an HD file :() thanks for looking!
