Best Skateboarding Movie in Years

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.

Half-Pipe Skateboarding Competition, Part 4 of 4

And to conclude the series, here’s part 4 of 4 of the fan video I filmed at the 2002 Slam City Jam, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Audio: Straight Up, licensed from ibaudio.com.

Probably not the best one in the series (my faves are #2 and #3), but I had some raw footage left. :)
