Lakai - Fully Flared

[Dookie416]

i'm surprised there hasn't been much discussion about the video since its release. i don't have it, but i've seen it, and it's probably the greatest skate video out. it seems to general but really every part is amazing. despite the fact that mike mo can probably do the most tricks out of every skater on the team, my favorite parts were:

1. guy mariano
2. eric koston
3. marc johnson

the video is seriously ridiculous.

[Fire_Freek]

i dont know... i wasnt really impressed with kostons part.. and mj's ender wasnt as good as it was hyped up to me

mike mo killed it, anthony papp obviously good, alex olsens was my favorite.. but really the whole video is amazing and nothing will ever top it

[Sk8 Shorty's]

I just saw the video yesterday and the day before.
I gotta say, the vid was sick.
I liked watching it.
I liked how it was pretty long compared to most skate vid's I've seen.
I liked the intro to the movie.
I like everyones individual introductions.

...I just loved everything.

[zoo_yorker_rep']

i thought it was one of the best edited videos i've ever seen. but there was one guy that his part was like so long it got boring after a while i forgot his name but i remember he wore a beanie though

[Scottp014]

everything in that video was amazing... my favorite skate video

[cordell]

Man, I feel like im missing out.

[lvizzle]

I can watch Mike Mo's part and MJ's over and over and over..lol

[luckysk8er1991]

someone should upload it onto google videos.

[juggle]

No one should uplaod it, support Lakai. It was amazingly edited but it was a little repetitive. Either a new trick out of back tail or backsmith was the most of it. I liked:
Mike mo
Jesus Fernandez
Eric Koston
In that order. Koston pressure ollied onto a handrail so thats all he needed to do to impress me. Switch front crook fakie tre out was all mike mo had to do, and jesus fernandez fakie hardflip switch back 5/0.
It is amazing and definitly worth buying.

-thank you

[jcsethi]

it was amazing the intro was sick and lucky its on google videos thats how i saw it but im definately gonna go buy it still its woth it.

[marleyfan0]

it was soooo good mike mos part was nuts and that one dude cant remember but he like did a smith of something kickfliped out and did a primo slide and landed on accident i was like waaaaahhhaat

[-noxi-]

no one upload it, seriously

google and youtube ruin videos

the whole video is just intense, marc johnson kills, mike mo should be pro anytime

[marleyfan0]

^ mo aint pro? haha. but he isnt? some people are f***ed up that dude is better then half the pros out there and hes only like 18. and it is on google vid. i watched it but im going to buy it after xmas

[TheCheese]

i lovedat video but seriously the only part i didnt like was anthony pappalrdos it just wasnt as good as the other parts every other part was amazing though but ill admit the song selction was a bit wierd but thats jut me

[juggle]

That was lucas puigwho smithed kickflipped into primo slide I liked his part, i didnt like cairo fosters part or guy marianos part to much basically because of the music. Mike mo is 17.

-thank you

[Super_Skater]

My favorite part was Jesus' accent.

[af1 1982]

Contrary to popular belief, turning pro isn't just the skill. You turn pro when you are good and when skateboarding becomes your job.

I watch the video everyday almost. Seriously, this is a must-have video. This could quite-possibly be the best video of all time as far as how much this has pushed progression and the shit that went down. Buy the video and support those at Lakai who have spent endless amounts of money for the making and for the skaters who have poured there hearts into it. To all the people watching it online and those who are too damn cheap to spend 30 bucks on it, even though the people at Lakai have spent millions for the making, buy the damn video.

Mike Mo's part is my favorite. The song works very well for it. His switch back tail big-flip out was insane. So many new tricks in this vid: The smith kickflip to primo, nollie inward heelflip to noseslide by Koston, the ollie to nose manual nollie flip out down the 8 by biebel, the back feeble impossible by carroll, the 270 boardslide by guy mariano, the nollie 540 by MJ, the switch noseblunt to blunt by MJ, the switch backside kickflip 360 by MJ, and all the endless grind combos.

[vansokc]

mike mo should be turned pro. there have to be blind compare him to most skaters lately hes the best.

hes in the top with pj ladd and all that.

i loved mike mo's part in fully flared though. his stuff is alway clean. the first time i seen one of his parts was in forcast and i knew nothing about him, i didnt know what stance he was at the begining up until i googled it.

THANK YOU BRO, I THOUGHT MARIANO HAD THE BEST ****ING PART. Honestly!!!! switch tre to lip on a handrail!!!

[juggle]

MAriano's part had the stupidest part though, Mike caroll was so much sicker than him in comparison to older skaters.

-thank you

[Super_Skater]

Contrary to popular belief, turning pro isn't just the skill. You turn pro when you are good and when skateboarding becomes your job.

Actually they turn you pro when you can make them the most money possible, thats about 80% of the reason guys go pro, probably more.

[-noxi-]

So many new tricks in this vid: The smith kickflip to primo, nollie inward heelflip to noseslide by Koston, the ollie to nose manual nollie flip out down the 8 by biebel, the back feeble impossible by carroll, the 270 boardslide by guy mariano, the nollie 540 by MJ, the switch noseblunt to blunt by MJ, the switch backside kickflip 360 by MJ, and all the endless grind combos.
a lot of those have been done before, and it was back smith impossible son
i know feeble and smith are confusing so i had to let you know

and going pro is based on how marketable you can be a good chunk of the time

[Dookie416]

and going pro is based on how marketable you can be a good chunk of the time

i agree, but mike mo is different. he is seriously amazing at skateboarding. nick mclouth is am because he is good at skateboarding, but doesn't earn the company that much money. girl needs to start making mike mo decks, because they would sell amazingly. seriously, if he set out like 3 pro models, in size 7.625-7.75 girl would make so much money.

[vansokc]

very true and i would skate them thats for sure.

Does he even have a shoe for Lakai???

[-noxi-]

no
shoes come waaaayyy after boards

[Dookie416]

his first pro model shoe better be stylish. if his first pro model is like the MJ selects.. idk man.

[yoda_emo]

sweet vid, and mike is sweet too..nothing to say that anyone else hasn't already said but it's good...

[-noxi-]

all the selects but koston and carrol are the shit

[karolsk8]

its sitting under my christmas tree so i didnt get to watch it yet but i might open it and watch it then wrap it back up i really want to see it

[Super_Skater]

Manchesters ftw.

[af1 1982]

mj-3 for the win

[skizzate]

I'd hope Mike-mo's pro shoe will be the manchesters, and they bring those badboys back. Best shoes ever. And Like noxi said, lakai select's are the ****ing shit. I love them.

[luckysk8er1991]

OMG. i got it today because im celebrating Xmas at my dads house (divorced parents) and i have seen the very beginning to wall smash thru part and then it stopped because i only had a sample of something that lets me play dvd's on my laptop, so i have to wait a while to watch the rest. and just that much makes me want to see the whole thing soooo bad. it makes me angry.

[DarkHawk2-2]

the video's sick! ive been out of the loop for a looong time and this video happened to be the first skate video ive watched in well over half a year; last one i watched was the city video i think. It ****ing blew my mind...

everyone had great parts, obviously. the fact that mike mo is taller and better since "forecast" just blew me away. LOL at mike carroll for using that three 6 mafia song. Brandon Biebel and the Jeezy song, i laughed at that too... props to the lakai guys. Pappalardo has changed a lot since his transworld part.

[juggle]

Papalardo's part was sick, it was just straight street skating. Like all of his tricks were ones that he was doing just rolling around and they were gnarly, like none of that technical shit people try for hours juest rolling up and ollieing into a huge bank.

-thank you

[Sk8 Shorty's]

I liked how that they didn't do a million hand rails and stairs like most vids I've seen do.
It was nice and original in my opinion.

[Krinksy]

i would see it but it's 60 bucks at my shop.

[juggle]

Punch the guy in the forehead at your shop, it should be 30$ maximum.

-thank you

[AdioGuy]

dude, i love fully flared. i watch it probably everyday since i got it.

too many parts to name.

i don't understand how biebel got Young Jeezy for his part? You would think licensing would be a bitch for that song....but for sure the vid was insane.

[giantsfan7791]

-thank you
they're aussie bucks. big difference.

[juggle]

yeah money is like a language barrier.

Me and my friend all day today were just making fun of how during nick jennsens part they just keep doing artsy shots of him, like my friend would just stop and make faces, it was pretty funny.
I tried to get MJ-3s but they didnt have them at my shop, they got some interlocking lace system of sorts.

-thank you

[Krinksy]

they're aussie bucks. big difference.

Yeah but normal DVD's are like 30 bucks here, so I don't see why this one is $60.

[flaredsushi]

i cant stop watching mj's part. he f****** killed it. to me, mariano's part was the biggest dissapoinment to me. it was litteraly 3 tricks. but i liked his tre though.

[crazylou]

Yeah but normal DVD's are like 30 bucks here, so I don't see why this one is $60.
I think its cos we're in Australia and all the shipping costs make up for the high price. I saw the video.
It was sweet, I thought like it lacked abit of rail tricks but probs best video out this year.

[TreIsLove]

Definitely one of the best if not the best video out yet. The only other one that I think compares is Yeah Right! Another girl skateboards film. If you haven't checked it out I'd seriously recommend it.

My 3 favorite parts had to be:
1. Guy Mariano
2. Brandon Biebel
3. Mike Mo

Also I definitely got a few laughs out over the grind on the ledge when the guy shattered and the KostonLazer.

Nick Jensen's part may not have been good but that kid is ****ing talented. Search his Blueprint section from Lost&Found, ****ing unbelievable.

EDIT: Just watched it, it was great skating and great editing. Lacking in Brady footage.

[XBLinK182sk8rX]

to me, mariano's part was the biggest dissapoinment to me. it was litteraly 3 tricks. but i liked his tre though.
are you insane? his part was sick. Mike Mo had the best part in my opinion. His switch tre down that double set, the one that was in slow mo, was so sick. And his fakie front crook fakie tre out was unbelievable. And Cairo's frontside 360 shove looked so cool. I preordered the video so I've already seen it like a bajillion times.
EDIT: Oh and I almost forgot, Carroll's back smith impossible out. HOLY SHIT!

[danmorris778]

To all the people watching it online and those who are too damn cheap to spend 30 bucks on it, even though the people at Lakai have spent millions for the making, buy the damn video.


It really costs that much to make a video? Never knew that.

[TreIsLove]

It really costs that much to make a video? Never knew that.

A blockbuster movie say for something like Transformers probably took around 100-150 million

Smaller movies have low budgets like 5-15 million

I would say all in all Fully flaired cost a max of 1 mil

but I could be wrong

WOW! haha

I thought you could just record the clips and stick em in movie maker and there's your movie. I know its obviously a bit more complicated than that but I didn't think it would cost loads haha. What exactly do they need to pay for?

Trips
Equipment
Editing software
???

[-noxi-]

injuries
tickets
trips
equipment
software
more equipment
editors
other people

[PeeWeeSkater]

WOW! haha

they need to pay for the plane tickets for the skaters, filmers, photographers.
editing software, cameras, new death lenses after things like jesus breaking them happen.
they also get tickets from police that they need to pay for.

i liked: mike mo, alex olsen, and eric kostons parts the best.
cairo foster disappointed me.

i own fully flared and its honestly the best video ive ever seen

[danmorris778]

Aaaaah spose :)
So what do you reckon the most expensive thing was in this movie?

[Blind Sheppard]

Advertising.

[danmorris778]

Why what did they do for advertising?

[Senior Frog]

I bet the intro cost them a lot too.

[Blind Sheppard]

Why what did they do for advertising?
For the past 3 yearrs they've had a full page ad in pretty much every skate magazine.

[juggle]

yeee cairo is no good IMHO..

-thank you

[danmorris778]

Fair do's :P

[gmgsci]

Mariano had my favorite part.

Honestly I don't like watching technical skating all that much, I like rail and gap skating more.

[John_]

was good
all i have to say on my part

[Super_Skater]

yeee cairo is no good IMHO..

-thank you

Cairo ****ing rips, if you haven't seen any of his other parts, definitely check them out, I was expecting a little more from him though.

[loganownzj00]

mike mo has the best part, IMHO, but i like mostly everyone's parts except for cairo and biebel.

oh, and i loved MJ's part

i thought the editing for the whole video was ****in' hilarious,

and the frontsmith to kickflip to primo slide was pretty funny,

and my favorite part has to be wear koston messes up his nose manny to nose grind

[Senior Frog]

Time pause on the flash to Guys intro and you can see his skeleton.

[juggle]

Did any1 else feel bad for the caera men?
Breaking the fisheye, Hitting the kid in the head, and Alex Olson knocking that tripod over smashing it.
sucks.

-thank you

[Dookie416]

honestly there wasn't one bad part in the video. if you don't have respect for mariano's part then that's your opinion. i'd just like you to keep in mind he wasn't even planning to film a part and ended up putting that together because ty evans wanted him to so bad, because he is an amazing skater. honestly i love anthony pappalardo's part because of the originality and his background in general.

[juggle]

Yeah he was good, just look at it this way, Mike mo ruled, Jesus ruled, the royal family and the french guys ruled. Guy ruled mike and mj ruled. Anthony papalardos part was nothing crazy but so gritty in style. Alex Olsens part wasnt great. Cairo, the only good part was the noseblunt on the hubba jeremey reeves back suskied.

I ono

-thank you

[R.W.T.F]

I watched it just last weekend. Dang mang, it was dope. Video of the year? I'd say.
