The Tron sequel opened this weekend, and somewhere in Australia they got the idea to match motion tracking with an overhead display, but this time instead of on the floor of an airport, casino or children’s museum they projected onto a miniramp. People keep asking what skateboarding has to do with Tron, and the answer is nothing, just as most skateboard demos at Seaworld, Six Flags, or halftime displays at professional football games. Looks fun, although, I’d probably eat it trying watch my own display. I’d probably eat it anyway… There are two separate videos from different sources after the jump. So nothing to do with skateboarding, but it did it’s job because we’re talking about Tron. Loved that arcade game. GVK saw the movie. He said it pretty good. I can’t believe he went to se it on opening weekend.
– Thanks to… Brian Martinez, JF, and Tom Bender for the tip.

What? Early grab Mania. I actually counted four early grabs. there was some pretty good skating for a mini ramp in the dark and disco joe dj’ing. That’s my positive comment for the year. I will try to be more positive.

Curse Art of Skateboarding and their members only, semi protected images. I’d repost the image of the Brian Lotti Planet Earth Tron themed graphic, but they want you to jump through an extra hoop, even though it’s watermarked. Come guys, loosen up a little!
Actually, they are always accommodating over there, I just like instant gratification.

Nice, I just stumbled across this by accident today and was coming here to see if you’d already posted it. Some seriously sick skating going on that miniramp.

I actually sat on it since Friday.
