04 Nov THRASHER ATLANTIC DRIFT – VIENNA TO BUDAPEST

Atlantic Drift 16: Vienna to Budapest – Thrasher Atlantic Drift at Its Peak

The latest installment in the Thrasher Atlantic Drift series takes us from Vienna to Budapest, following Tom Knox and crew as they skate hard, hitting iconic European spots along the Danube. Dropping only now despite being filmed in September 2023, the episode captures the crew exploring Austria and Hungary’s gritty streets and architectural gems. With every kickflip and grind, the Drifters bring the unique Atlantic Drift style to life, showcasing raw skateboarding, artsy cinematography, and intense moments on their journey.

Cinematic Beauty with an Edge

Atlantic Drift Episode 16 is as visually striking as it is daring. The cinematography stands out, capturing not just tricks but the essence of Vienna and Budapest. Between each skate clip, the film jumps to stunning b-roll of the cities, showing everything from historic buildings to quiet riverbanks. Skaters interact with locals, explore alleyways, and let the city’s energy lead them. Every shot feels carefully chosen, creating a truly artsy experience for a skate video.

The Haunting Soundtrack

The soundtrack sets a strange yet compelling tone. The video opens with the haunting sounds of “Janitor of Lunacy” by Nico, giving each trick an eerie undercurrent. Midway, the mood briefly switches to lighter music, adding a brief moment of joy, only to dive back into an eerie soundscape. It’s a strange, cool choice that keeps the viewer engaged, showcasing Thrasher’s Atlantic Drift as more than just another skate video.

A Cast of Unstoppable Skaters

Tom Knox leads an epic lineup that includes Nik Stain, Cyrus Bennett, Sylvain Tognelli, Akwasi Owusu, and others. Each skater brings a unique style, whether it’s the calm precision of Chris Jones or the wild creativity of Casper Brooker. Max Palmer’s quirky movements stand out as he tackles everything from stair sets to subway cars, while Kyron Davis and Henry Gibbs blend street style with technical prowess. Their energy fuels each spot, whether it’s a sewer, rooftop, or intricate ledge.

The Flies of Vienna: An Unexpected Battle

One of the episode’s funniest yet craziest moments involves an unexpected enemy—flies. Vienna was swarming with them while they were filming, and Nik Stain got the worst of it. He attempted a trick down a massive staircase, but flies kept swarming his face, getting into his eyes and even landing on his body. Eventually, he had to give up, letting the flies settle on him, creating an absurd yet memorable scene. These little moments remind viewers of the unpredictable nature of Thrasher’s Atlantic Drift series.

Skating Hard, Even If Locals Aren’t Thrilled

The crew doesn’t hold back. They skate at every opportunity, even if it means angering locals. Whether they’re dropping into sewers or grinding ledges near public spaces. The Drifters bring an intense, edgy energy that pushes the limits. Their relentless approach keeps Thrasher Atlantic Drift true to its roots. The video feels like a chaotic journey through two cities. Complete with iconic street spots, urban grit, and constant interaction with the local crowd.

Atlantic Drift Episode 16 captures the heart of skateboarding culture. It’s not just a skate video—it’s a cinematic trip down the Danube, blending technical skill with bold artistry. With Thrasher Atlantic Drift, each trick and moment is a testament to the Drifters’ vision and determination, even with flies in their eyes.
