Rolling Forever with Skateboarding and Art — Dave Bachinsky
Dave Bachinsky is a professional skateboarder, woodworker, and visual artist based in Carlsbad, California. In 2020, he launched a visual collection called Roll Forever featuring videos filmed with a drone from a bird's-eye view, observing a skaters' line in a pool or skate spot and edited to loop indefinitely, as if the line never ends. His new project Changing Tides was minted on Highlight. Dave is super early bringing skateboarding to the crypto, NFTs and new internet scene. We talk about life as a pro skater, kickflipping El Toro 20 stair and competing in Street League Skateboarding (SLS). How the industry, scene and culture has evolved over the years. And how things look in 2024 with skateboarding returning in the Paris Olympics.
