Painting on glass.
Tyler's skateboarding seems very mellow to me. He's doing hard tricks, but there's a relaxed atmosphere to how he does them so it looks easy. For his part in Mind Field, Tyler throws down a number of bigspins, either as a stand alone trick or into/out of another trick. He locks into a long backside Smith grind, a long frontside feeble, and a long switch backside nose grind. Those three stood out to me. The guy takes on the inside of ledges as well as a couple of big gaps. The Thom Yorke voiced Modeselektor track adds to the mellow atmosphere of his skateboarding. It also references Jason Dill using Radiohead in Photosynthesis.
