Etnies and Color Magazine asked skaters to shoot a photo of themselves from their own perspective, skateboarding. Over 200 portraits have been collected from skaters across Canada, the United States and as far as Japan. With the help of Fourstar Clothing, a selection of these self portraits of pro skateboarders, artists, and other talented individuals have been composed into an exhibition in celebration of skateboarding.

The show has been broken into a three-part art crawl (or roll) traveling across the country during the next six months from Vancouver (BC) to Montreal (QC) with stops in Winnipeg (MB), Calgary (AB) and Toronto (ON). Opening receptions in each of these cities take place in separate spaces at different times. Attendees are encouraged to take their cruiser boards out and celebrate the freedom of skateboarding and embrace the roll from spot to spot.

Expect photos from such pros as mikey taylor, ryan smith, mark appleyard, john rattray, colt cannon. Photographer’s dan mathieu, geoff clifford, gordon ball, judah oakes, dylan doubt, richard hart, jeff delong, ryan allan, and other sweet dudes: eric lebeau, devin barrete, mike giles, jeremy elkin, raj mehra, tyler maher, gab ekoe, pierre yves gauthier, william cristofaro, bob kronbauer, campbell milligan, dave carnie, paul urich, erik brunetti, jessie van roechoudt, tomonori ‘rip’ tanaka, + many more!

New Alphanumeric decks courtesy of Hypebeast!

“Cultural innovators Alphanumeric rose from the ashes/came out of retirement to step back into the limelight with the same bold graphics and provocative statements which earned them many accolades at the turn of the century. With a series of experienced people at the helm, this comes as no surprise as their love for cornerstones of culture such as music and knowledge have translated into their design work and branched out into mixtapes. The first deck seen after the jump is the Calculus deck. A monogram of math symbols can be seen. Among their future releases is the Stacks skate deck which despite the 2D nature of photographs in general provides an interesting perspective. Available this holiday 2008.” -Hypebeast
