Epicly Later’d: Lakai Episode 1
November 6, 2008 – 11:05 pm PT by MikeTags: Epicly Later'd, Eric Koston, Fully Flared, Guy Mariano, Lakai —
There are quite a few skateboard movies from the past that have had the kind of anticipation Lakai’s “Fully Flared” had in the skateboard industry. In my day, I remember when Plan B’s “Questionable Video” came out. I think that video automatically changed skateboarding and skateboard movies forever. Then there was my all time favorite, “The Skateboard Kid II” starring Willy Manoloto Santos with his groundbreaking performance. Now we have the Lakai Video. I think I can speak for everyone on this entire earth who have seen it. That damn thing was incredible. Whether you liked the slow mo or not, the skating was insane.
For you tech geeks and filmmaker posers, this series of Epicly Later’d should capture your attention. With Lakai’s “Final Flared” just over the horizon, with extra features for days, you will enjoy just a tease of what you can expect from the Deluxe Edition of “Final Flared”. Here are a few words from Patrick O’Dell.
Lakai’s Fully Flared was probably the most anticipated skate video of all time. From Mike Mo and Alex Olson to Mike Carroll and Guy Mariano—from Lucas Puig to Anthony Pappalardo, Fully Flared has something to offer everybody. Not to mention that the hype was out of this world. So for the first few parts we’re going to dip into the history of the Lakai video, and as we go we’re going to release some history episodes on Mike Carroll, Guy Mariano, and others… I promise it will be sweet.
