Away from the Equator – teaser

Flee the red line in Singapore for an exotic skateboarding adventure – raw skateboarding guaranteed!

Singapore, slightly above the Equator, holds marble as far as the eye can see and makes for a perfect skateboarding destination – if it weren’t for the heat and the humidity.

TJ Rogers, Ryan Decenzo, Madars Apse and Barney Page set off to meet with local ripper Farris Rahman in Singapore, from where they decided to flee the red line and to escape the heat. A city trip turned into a fully-fledged exotic skateboarding adventure – passing through Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Enjoy the teaser of Away from the Equator. We’ll be back with the first of three episodes on July 1.
