Manhattan-based photographer Henry Leutwyler has created some ballerina printed skate decks. After a stint photographing the New York City Ballet, Leutwyler learnt of the grit behind the grace of ballet.

Featuring two prints: one with a ballerina’s foot wrapped in a Pointe shoe, the other a bandaged, bloodied barefoot – the aftermath of Pointe dancing. The photos were taken for one of his photography books but he decided to create some decks as there are parallels between the disciplines of skateboarding and ballet. “Fearlessness rules. No half-measures or marking the trick. Just passion, grit and blood”.
