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.

    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/
