There is a skipper in New York named Extreme Gene who has created a short film about his own personal approach to skipping. It's called EXTREME SKIPPING and it isn't for the faint of heart!

I personally tend to be your standard run of the mill skipper (if there is such a thing.) I occasionally throw in a twirl here or a backwards skip there...but for the most part I leap happily from point A to point B and call it a day. Not Extreme Gene. Think skateboarding without the board. Think jumps and other tricks. This dude is extreme.

If you are in the New York area and would like to check out what Extreme Skipping is all about, here's some info about the world premier of Extreme Gene's short film....

EXTREME SKIPPING WORLD PREMIERE

What has people Extreme Skipping from Dayton to Denver? What is behind 150,000 hits, a movie trailer and a groundswell of gremmies sticking 180 Degree Lizzies from Calcutta to Coney Island? What the heck is a 180 degree Lizzie anyway?

Spend an evening with the father and creator of the Extreme Skipping Phenomena, Extreme Gene. There is no better place to learn about it than at The Intrepid Air and Space Museum ( 46th and 12th) on September 27th at 8p.m. Watch a short film that gives us a glimpse into a great American underground extreme sports hero. From "Brand Evangilists" to major motion picture companies, people are starting to pay attention to Extreme Gene. Come and see why for yourself.... "CHECK IT!"

If you can't make it to the event, you can also watch a trailer of the film on Extreme Gene's website. Skip on Extreme Gene! Thanks for all you are doing to spread the good skipping word!
