Think inner west rooftops or Sydney Harbour shooting back towards the urban landscape with backlit shots of Curren and Malto skating the sculptures.

Monster Children Presents Skate Sculptures Exhibition
For as long as most of us can remember, skateboarding has been about reinterpreting the urban environment.
The world’s skateboarders see the man-made, civic landscape as something to be decoded and repurposed in the name of fun, and their ingenuity in the pursuit of that fun is infinite.
But how do skaters interpret non-functional objects like the one’s we had artist Brett Chan design for us?
Oakley and Monster Children present an exclusive gallery of images from a studio shoot with Sean Malto, Curren Caples, Chima Ferguson, Sammy Winter, Josh Pall and Juan Onekawa. All images shot by Atiba Jefferson.

Sydney Skate Film Screening & Closing Party
The 1990s were a progressive period for skateboarding in Sydney & by the early 2000s, the city was beginning to cement itself as a sought after skate destination for international pros. To celebrate this pinnacle time in skateboarding, Oakley In Residence: Sydney will be screening iconic skate films for the era.
In the mids 1990s, Time Skateboards was established by Al Boglio and Christian West, with a view to create an Australian brand whose product, design & team riders were on par with the international heavyweights. During their reign, Time Skateboards produced a number of iconic skate films including MONEY, Big City video mag and TEMPO.
In the early 2000s, Shaun Gladwell cemented himself in the art & skateboarding world through his unconventional documentation of skate culture. His films, 'Storm Sequence' and 'Kickflipper' both set in Bondi Beach, are reflective of creativity in skateboarding.
