Shredding it on the launch ramps, a skate park king is having the ride of their life in this winning Topic Flipnote by Eg Mex.

The park structures look great. Drawn three dimensionally and placed for purpose, they provide the perfect background for the jumping action, which is beautifully animated and includes some extraordinary board control and mid-air turns.

The discovery of a riderless skateboard tells the tale of Clumsy Gary’s first day at the skate park in this jaunty topic winning entry by ☆Micah☆.

Inspired by a Hatena sample Flipnote, the broad line-boil animation includes thought and speech bubble dialogue, as well as a hilarious face plant action that left us reeling with laughter!

A classic skateboarding trick, the Kick-Flip goes down with unexpected results in this winning Topic Flipnote by SFToons.

We loved the ironic twist here, where instead of the trick going according to plan, a bizarre “Kick-Flip” sound effect occurs from its disastrous Wipe-Out fail!

A stick man rides their way to the Wow Factor, while earning a thousand points in this half-pipe trick animation created by CrtTv2000.

Go for it dude!

Sonic The Hedgehog comes an absolute cropper when his skateboard hits a bump in the road in this free wheeling Topic winner by J64.

Now that’s a spikey bail!

In a super dangerous skate park only a jet powered skateboard can save the day in this dare-devil winning entry by Palourde.

This Weeks Topic - "Spaghetti"

A staple Italian food, spaghetti is pasta made in solid strings.

Both delicious and fun to eat, you can twist it on a fork or slurp it off a plate. And it can be served with bolognese sauce, meatballs, garlic, cheese, or even from a tin as alphabetti spaghetti!

Your Topic Flipnotes could feature spaghetti the pasta, or any other stringy, complex, inter-twining, spaghetti like ideas you can come up with.

Stretch your imagination to its limits with this extruded food, and start pasta-making a spaghetti Topic entry today!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Spaghetti and the deadline for your entries is March 24th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
