Sensuous Skateboarding: Dirt x Simple Magic

This is Sensuous Skateboarding, a series from Dirt x Simple Magic that takes a look, whiff, listen, taste, and feel of skateboarding’s effect on the senses.

The unknown radius
Sophie Yanow on the embodied practice of skateboarding and moving forward a millimetre at a time.
Paved with desire
Ted Barrow on listening for meaning in the negative space.
Under the overpass
Skateboarding among the dirt and grime, there’s a smell, a feeling divine.

The lovely folks at Pearfat Parfum also created Nosegrab, a custom scent to celebrate the occasion. It has notes of Curbside violets, tobacco, upper lip sweat, paraffin wax, and hot metal.
