In this video, director Charles Lanceplaine follows a group of skaters looking to try their tricks in a new and different environment… Ordos …only to discover a glittering, modern city devoid of human occupants. [quote: The Atlantic]

China’s city of Ordos was built for 1 million people and is currently inhabited by just a few thousand. It’s been called the Dubai of northern China, showered with wealth, packed with public infrastructure and located near to precious natural resources in a region plagued by water-supply troubles.

Ordos is a ghost town located in Inner Mongolia. Seeing the potential of this city in terms of spots we decided to organize a skate trip and be the first ones to skate such a surreal place.

For some reason this Goodyear ad was banned, wonder why?

If you look real close… the little dot… it’s the body slapping the roof!

WTF was that? Well technically it was this:

A Skit from Chill Magzine based on the Brazilian “Ilha das Flores” (Isle of flowers).

I know that doesn’t help it make any more sense, but now, at least you know.

I’ m not sure  if its the porno sounds, the hot chick faces or the funny accent but I can’t stop watching this video. Can you just imagine how cool that world would be… beer, babes and boards 24/7. Of course if your imagining it, you get to keep the announcer and the babes, oh what a life.

So how did they build the iPad Skateboard, lets look closer…

WARNING for APPLE lovers, all following images may hurt a bit…

… and once you build it, you must skate it!

Ok so the standard issue didn’t hold up, they made it 2.0

Now the we have shredded, rebuilt and destroyed… Let’s look back 1 more time…

What a way to spend a day and a few hundred bucks.
