Neon Tetris Skateboarding

36 Skateboarders Give Ultimate Game Boy Icon Tribute

36 Freebord riders from San Francisco came together one gloriously clear night and made some Game Boy-inspired magic. Sporting neon Tetris halos, the riders cruised down a dark street in San Francisco and captured a Tetris skateboarding light show that will not soon be upstaged.

Set to perfectly matched music, the video shows off the Tetris skateboarding stunt in a way that will make you want to rewatch it over and over again.
