so totally sick and rad.com

So it’s been a while and topically, this blogger has gotten a little off track as I’ve been consumed with work and back rehab (foot rehab is coming up in about 2 weeks - YAH!).

Anyway, I thought I’d bring it back on point with this video clip from Aaron Draplin entitled “America is Fucked ……(Graphically at least)”

I guess Jess Gibson is putting together a mini-documentary about Draplin and Design.  I can’t wait.  This guy is the jam.

This skateboarding dog catches more air than you, frontboards better than you, and has more style than you….accept it.

This un-fully flared trailer shows nothing of the level of skating happening in Lakai’s Fully Flared video. Where most movie trailers capture the most primo footage and machine-gun edit it into a sizzling 30seconds of juicy goodness that the full-length film will never live up to, the full version of Fully Flared pisses all over it’s own trailer. The level of skating that happens in this film is, for me, so far beyond anything that’s been put out before. It also does an excellent job of making me feel shit about my own skating and while establishing a new paradigm for the next onslaught of skate heroes.

And no words can really service the brilliance of the first 2 minutes of this film. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t spoil the fun, but leave it to the Girl crew to bring mad game.
