Nokia N8 ad innovators: the solderin’ skaters

Here's another of the projects featured in our launch TV spot for the Nokia N8. Each one is a real-life example of innovative hacks and modifications folks have devised using Nokia tech. Because it's not about the technology, it's what you do with it.

Keywan Tonekaboni, Nick Thomas, Jan Anlouff, Sebastian Zehe, Erik Weitnauer and Alexander Lenhard. Together they're the Solderin' Skaters.

With pressure pads, motion sensors, some intricate coding and a Nokia N900 in the skater's pocket, their real-world skate game (Tilt 'n' Roll) can recognise tricks and award points if they're successfully completed. Nice.

bird is the word: Nike SB team in action

Last
night Guy F dragged a few of the WK Nike team down to a demo performed by
the Nike SB team at Baysixty6 Skate park, Ladbroke Grove.
Good night had. We're thinking Ryan Fisher may be tempted to buy a board
and start skating.

Among the team were :


Paul Rodriguez (aka P-Rod).


Ishod Wair


Youness Armani


Shane O’Neill


Wieger van Wageningen


Cory Kennedy


Daryl Angel


And the legendary Lance Mountain.
