I’ve tried skateboarding a couple of times and failed miserably, once landing on my keys and hacky-sac and another time cracking my head on a half pipe which led to me realizing that I should take it up as a spectator sport only.
With this I developed an interest in skating videos mainly for the production value and choice of soundtrack as this is just as important as the skating itself.
Enter the intro to Fully Flared presented by Lakai Limited Footwear. This is by far one of the best intros I have ever seen and one of the best sports/action videos ever. The frame rate of the super slow footage is smooth like butter and captures not only the action and explosives but every minute move a skateboarder makes while performing a trick.
Directed by Ty Evans, Spike Jonze and Cory Weincheque I have watched the clip above about seven times and convinced that I need to have this DVD.
So I put my cap on sideways and pulled my jeans down to show more than enough boxer short and headed off to my local skate shop. A few minutes later and several dollars mind you (this shit is not cheap! i should’ve hopped on amazon.com or something) I now have Fully Flared in my sweaty paws.
I’m still to watch it but from what I have read and heard it is one of the best skating videos made in a very long time and sets the bar for production value etc.
Love it or hate it you have to agree that the intro above is pretty badass.
As an actual skateboarder, this kicks serious A.
so many good skaters and they blow shit up!!!
winner.
