Video: Urban isolation, a skate utopia about the empty streets of Los Angeles

What would it be like to skate the completely empty and deserted roads and streets of Los Angeles?

Urban Isolation or Urban Isolation is a short film in which they skate around empty Los Angeles, which looks less like a city of angels and more like a city of ghosts.

The film won first prize in the competition REDirect, where they invited 11 of the most visionary skater filmographers. What makes the video so special? Because the roads and streets of Los Angeles are never so empty and because he had to Houghton working miracles in post-production, so that he could empty the streets of Los Angeles, which looked like this in the original footage:

Definitely a well-deserved winner that showed what the realized dreams of skaters around the world would look like.
