In skateboarding these days, it's hard to invent something new. Most players within the industry were just recycling old stuff. But that only applies if you've already been skateboarding for 30 years plus. As for the noobs, it's a different story. A lot of things that they see are fresh & new, some might even dare to claim an NBD (Never Been Done).
Urban Sneaker Society's Skateboard Battle Box contest is a perfect example of an ABD (Already Been Done) that got recycled. Some of you old heads might ask, "When?" Remember that back in the days, most skateboarder's contest runs took the same format. They drop in from a bank or quarter pipe, they do a trick in the obstacle in the center, and if they manage to go past that, they do a kick turn on the other side of the course. It's remarkably similar isn't it? Take that and recycle it in a cool packaging for the millennials, then we have this event.
Don't get me wrong. Recycling is a good thing in a world with limited supply, if done correctly and in an appropriate context. If we were to pit skateboarders to battle their bag of tricks against each other 20 years ago, it would be a boring thing to watch. But to do it now? It's a feast for every eyes, old heads & new. So charge ahead and do more proper recycling.
Big ups to Sanggu & Basral for their top notch performance in this event. Some random kids that never skated before who watch their battle might be inspired to pick up a board, start skating and continue to take Indonesian skateboarding to another level.
