Meet the Nightcrawlers — Five German skaters set sparks flying as they cruise Dresden’s epic Old Town in the dead of night.

As night falls, Dresden in Eastern Germany becomes a skate paradise.

Its empty streets, vacant shopping malls and the winding streets of the picturesque Old Town open up to all those skaters prepared to explore the city under the cover of darkness.

Enter the Nightcrawlers, a tight group of mates who bomb the city’s deserted streets in the dead of night.

Props for making it happen to Blax Cinematography and skaters Enrico Puls, Tom Kleinschmidt, Bang Nguyen, Christian Döbrich, Erik Gross, Cornelius Rabe and Marius Günther.
