Description
The Cobblestone Riders project turned the Portuguese cobblestone streets, criss-crossed with tramway rails, into the perfect place for a new way of skating. All thanks to a board specifically designed to skate the unskateable.
Execution
We started with an unbranded series of stunt videos filmed in Portugal's main cities: one made in Oporto and two in Lisbon. These videos were posted on Fuel TV's social media accounts as if they were amateur videos sent by some skaters.
The second phase was the international one: we sent prototypes of the board to skaters based in Barcelona, San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro, generating a new series of “amateur” stunt videos.
So when this crazy Portuguese sport was already a national & international topic, Fuel TV confessed (via Facebook, Twitter & Instagram) the authorship with a branded version uniting all the stunt videos and telling the story of the board's creation.
