Skateboarding Chimp

A chimpanzee cruises Burnquist's skatepark

 

Bob Burnquist just shared a pretty unbelievable video from behind the scenes of a 2001 film titled MVP: Most Vertical Primate. Apparently the movie follows the antics of a skateboarding chimp who goes on to win contests and become sponsored by Bob. We've never heard of this until now, but it's fair to say we'll be tracking down a copy ASAP, because it sounds absolutely hilarious. And, if this video is anything to go by, the chimp is actually a pretty decent skateboarder. He definitely kick-turns like a pro, and even blasts a backside ollie. Ridiculous stuff.
