Addi has throughout the year 2011documented Reykjavík skaters (both local legends and serious n00bs) on his nifty videocamera, editing the results to perfection and releasing them to the web as the usually weekly series ‘First Try Fail Mondays’. The best of the series (currently up to 40 episodes) have now been collected on DVD and ought to make the perfect Xmas present for the Icelandophile-slash-skater in your life.
