This past winter I went ahead with the idea and sent out emails looking for guys who were down for the project. By February I had received video clips from nine different locations.

Somehow, A lot of the files got corrupted after I downloaded them and after two solid weeks of trying to resurrect them, I finally had the footage and some time to put together this teaser.

The “ISM GLOBAL EDIT” will be a three part series, highlighting 2-3 different scenes in each edit, with Volume One, Episode One starting things off featuring Germany, Utah and Poland.

Special thanks to guys like Benny from InlandSkimGermany, Andre’ from Skim.se, Matt from Victorian Skim Society, Sam from OXS Skimboards and everyone else that contributed footage. Credit will be given in each episode.

If you would like to submit footage from your scene it’s not too late; just send an email over to us at inlandskimmovement@hotmail.com or info@inlandskimmovement.com
