Pop Training Academy

"A satirical take on a skateboarding school"

The 'pop' or 'ollie' is usually the first move in any skateboarder's career. This (apparently) simple movement, which gives you a little air, is the foundation of every trick in the skater's handbook. Directed by Fabio de Frel for Pop Training Company, an Amsterdam-based skate retailer, this short film is a tongue-in-cheek parody of a skateboarding program designed to help you increase the 'size of your pop' in 14 days. With ridiculous and over-the-top exercise regimes the program shares all the hallmarks of a navy seal training academy—stressing the importance people place in the four-wheeled sport.

MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate

MVP 2 opens with the lovable Jack being ousted from his hockey team, the Seattle Simians, and having to hit the road after being falsely accused of league misconduct. Jack ends up in the city, where he's befriended by Ben, a homeless skateboarder, and Ollie, a skate shop owner. Jack proves to be as adept at mastering the half-pipe as he does at delivering a slap shot, and before long, he and Ben are crashing amateur skateboarder competitions all over the country.
