Baltic Way

Baltics skateboarding movie "Baltic Way" brings together three teams of Converse skateboarders representing Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

It showcases the streets and architecture of each of the Baltic capital cities through the eyes of skateboarders. You get to experience the falls, battles and successes of landing tricks in the most known street spots in the Baltics. Same as life, in skateboarding everything doesn't always work out, but when it does the hype is real and director Ed Gaba captures it in a unique and authentic way.  The movie showcases the different approach each skateboarder has and also provides some commentary about life in their cities. The Baltic Way is about coming together and making things happen and that is what we did!

Edvard Gaba is a Latvian skateboarder, skate video maker, and founder of RajonTV: Latvian Skate Network. He has been making videos for more than 10 years, including event recaps, and short documentaries about the Latvian skate scene. RajonTV as a skate media attempts to connect the Baltic skate scenes and showcase the biggest talents in the region. Either you find him on his board or behind the lens, you will always see and feel the authenticity of Gaba’s approach to skateboarding.
