Last week we showed you the “Rolling London” film from the adidas Originals 2010 campaign, featuring some of the riders from the adidas Skateboarding team. We caught up with them to talk about the video and the process behind it. First up is our chat with Benny Fairfax. Check it out here below.

Unlike all of the other guys, you were right at home in London since you grew up in England. How was it having your teammates there to skate the home turf?

It was wicked, I got to show the lads all the spots I grew up skating.

Did you mostly go to spots that you knew of?

Yeah for the most part, although we did come across a few random spots I hadn’t seen before… there is always new stuff to skate popping up all over the city.

adidas Originals kicks off the next chapter of their Neighborhood campaign for 2010. In “Rolling London” the brand takes the UK capital as the scenery and invited the team riders of the adidas Skateboarding division to take part.

“In 2010 adidas Originals takes to the streets in a new and authentic way. The setting for the celebration is the street corner where originality lives. We kicked if off with the launch of our Star Wars collaboration, then turned up the volume, inviting everyone to a celebration spreading from the underground to the rooftop.

With London as our neighborhood backdrop, we invited some of our friends from the adidas Skateboarding team to come, and when not filming the TV commercial, we took off to capture some footage on the streets of London. Join Nestor Judkins, Benny Fairfax (our London local), Tim OConnor and Klaus Bohms celebrating their originality on the streets of merry ole England.”

Check out the video here above, it’s definitely a good watch.

Furthermore we present the new adidas Skateboarding Summer 2010 Collection. We take a detailed look at the footwear and the clothing range of the season, including a solid line-up of sneakers, as well as some t-shirts, jackets and shirts.

Lots of images follow after the jump.

adidas has just launched  a new adidas Skateboarding website. The cleanly designed site is packed with a lot of great material, including a video project called “Diagonal” featuring their European skate team and some detailed information on the launch of the new Dennis Busenitz pro model. One of our favorite parts is the animated Gonz “Shmoo” character that floats around encouraging you to register.
