New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Featurette Looks At Andrew Garfield's Skateboarding Skills

That's right, we have yet another new featurette for The Amazing Spider-Man! This one takes a look at an aspect of the reboot that many fans weren't particularly fond of when they first found out about it - Peter Parker and his skateboard. There's nothing too exciting in the below video (courtesy of our friends over at MTV Splash Page) but it does offer us a pretty interesting insight into just how much work actor Andrew Garfield put in to perfecting Parker's skills on a board. In fact, he goes so far as to say that, "there's something so beautiful about" the art of skateboarding and that, "It's like someone pounding up a ladder and then floating through the clouds." Check it out below and sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
