movie review: lakai - fully flared

"Fully Flared" is a skateboard video made by Girl Productions for the skateboard shoe company Lakai. It features a variety of skateboarders such as Marc Johnson, Brandon Biebel, and the amature rider Mike Mo Capaldi. Including founders and creators Mike Carroll and Rick Howard, along with newly recruited Eric Koston who recently dropped his last shoe endorser es footwear. The slow and rather boring intro seems to do nothing but delay the video from beginning, using props and effects as a way of trying to make it interesting. It would have fulfilled its purpose if they hadn't made it so long and strenuous to take. Moments into the intro you find yourself awaiting the movie's start. This film is quite lengthy, with only half of the riders leaving a memorable impression, with the other half showing nothing of interest. The few parts of the movie that actually do draw your attention will leave you amazed, with high possibilities of you rewinding and re watching certain sections of the film. Surprisingly the amature rider Mike Mo Capaldi delivers one of the best parts on the entire video with his intricate trick combinations, and his 360 shove-its that he seems to have mastered. In conclusion this film is about 7/10 in terms of entertainment and being happy with your purchase.
