When skaters shred, they usually aren’t working with material. But Jason Knight’s flips go beyond skateboarding. Knight designed a skateboard deck that’s made entirely out of recycled plastic - proving the strength and versatility of the material.

Footage by Mandin was used in the creation of this film.
