DAILY SKATE CLIPS: "Morok," Skating Frozen Russian Lakes and Skate Spots Made of Ice

"A "Morok" video project by Ilya Batrakov x Absurd Skateboards directed by Barabaka. "Morok is an experimental skate project from Iliya Batrakov that took him three years. Filming took place exclusively during winters on the ice of the Iskona River and around it. Through the seemingly absurd winter skateboarding in extremely harsh weather conditions, Iliya reflects on climate change and ecology. As for skating, surprisingly frozen water can have higher skateability than marble or granite plazas. Depending on the weather and temperature, the same spots can change their shape, height, steepness and even durability. It's very unusual and requires creativity, endurance, frost resistance, as well as a very special approach to tricks."—Kirill Korobkov"
