I watched Lakai Footwear’s Fully Flared last night (thanks Stevey). Saying it’s the best sk8 video I have seen in years wouldn’t quite do it justice. It’s absolutely insane and I cannot recommend it enough.
My two favourite thrashers in the movie as far as style and technique, if I had to choose: Marc Johnson (by far) and Anthony Pappalardo.
I’m not going to say much more since I don’t want to spoil it for you, but do yourself a favour and go buy (or rent) it. You won’t regret it.
Oh, did I mention Spike Jonze was on the directors crew? Nuf’ said! :)
Update: I had to change the embedded video to a trailer, because it turns out the intro I had linked to got taken off YouTube. Oops. Just check out Lakai’s video archive for more clips.
the movie is not avalaible anymore
Thanks Heri. Switched to the trailer for the embed.

I agree this video looks sick. I just saw the intro on Digg and it made me think about some of the other memorable skateboard video clips that I saw over the last ten years. I compiled a list over at my blog but it is crazy to think about what skateboarding will become in the next 10 years -> http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/epic-skateboard-clips/
