SPF Media : First skateboarding
documentaries in South Africa
Especially
for those people who thought South Africa was still
in the Stone Ages... and believe me this is no joke...
Enough people come to our shores and be like... "wheres
the lions , tigers and elephants... I thought they were
roaming in the streets." Well sorry to burst your
bubble buddy... Big Bro has already set up shop!But
this got nothing to do with this shit...I mean skateboarding!
I'm sure deep in the African jungles you are sure to
find some skaters... where there is a road there is
a board!

SPF-MEDIA are proud documentary
makers of the first skateboarding documentaries in South
Africa. To date they've put together no less then three
doc's; Ad-lib, Journey Days and Homesick, with the main
focus on showing how South African skateboarding has
progressed recently. Apart from this they also did some
documentaries for non-governmental organizations that
was looking to find funds abroad for housing schemes.
Impressive... Then again they also do music videos for
bands who wants to hook up with record companies.
Its
basically 2 brothers who started filming backside
and frontside 50-50s on Sundays with close friends.
Slowly they built up an archive of shocking footage
of 50-50s and then went from there... If you ever
been to the Alex Groll Cup at Century City, you would
have a good idea about the standard of S.A. skating!
Yo I was there last year and was completely taken
by this little kid called Moses... who left everyone
open mouthed gapping. Yo this kid got an incredible
future ahead of him considering he's still in the
junior devision... a power house for real! It was
no surprise when they announched him the winner of
his devision and rightfully so to! You can just see
this kid Moses splitting the Red Sea for S.A. skateboarding.
You go boy... Make no mistake madd other cats are
really sick on the skate scene now... be sure to catch
the clipping! Incredible shit...
