Lego Hoverboard

Check out this Lego hoverboard that actually floats, thanks to some magnets. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Lego Betties

Lego Skater Girl, from minifigure series 6. “Who cares what anybody thinks? I skate for me!” Some Minifigures skate for fame. Others skate for thrills. But for the Skater Girl, it’s all about having fun! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about her skating skills as long as she can feel two things: the […]

Lego Street Skater Minifigure

I dunno, he looks more like a Lego Harry Potter figure reject. “This is the perfect spot for an awesome new stunt!” To the Street Skater, the whole city is one big skate park. No matter where in town he may be, everything around him looks like just the right location for his next mind-blowing […]

Skate like an Egyptian

From Legoland in California. – Thanks to Marek Litinski for the tip.

Can’t let it go…

Honestly, not sure why skateboarders of a certain age are obsessed with the skateboarding footage in Back to the Future. After the last BTF post I made I seriously doubted that there would be any recurrences in the near future, but now here we are. It doesn’t hurt that I have little kids and still […]

Lego my failure to come up with a clever title

Sean Kenney spends a lot of time playing with legos, and so do I, but I don’t get paid. He sells aftermarket instructional books for making models, as well as sculptures and portraits. This is a “quick little experiment building 1:20 scale people.” And there you have it. I love legos. Some of Sean’s work […]

The (other) Skateboard Movie

Another skateboard movie made with Legos. It’s got slapstick, chase scenes, sound effect, lavish sets and a garage punk soundtrack thanks to the Beatnik Termites. What more could you ask for? How about surprise twist at the end, or more like another movie grafted on. Still fun. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Death’s Head vs Astronaut

From the Reasonably Clever blog’s Toybox of Fail, it’s the Jing Zhiwei brand’s lego bootleg titled “Death’s Head vs Astronaut.” They don’t make the distinction between alien and astronaut, which is very forward thinking of them. It’s his profession we are interested in, not what shade of green red his skin is. He looks like […]

Ankle injuries and finger breaks

Two music videos featuring skateboarding of a sort. The first one is for a Fujiya & Miyagi song called Ankle Injuries. It’s stop action animation made with colored dice imitating pixels, pretty much the same technique Michel Gondry used in the White Stripes video for Fell In Love With A Girl, only with Legos. Still, […]
