wow a slowmo explosion can even make a bail look good.

OooooooooOOOooooooohhh...

Music: M83 - "Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun"

Slo-mo anything with a great musical selection makes *art in my books. This is no exception.

I can´t help but watch this over and over and over... Very nice! Thanks!

Somebody's gonna shoot their eye out. ;|

Now if only those skateboarders were dolphins blowing bubble rings.. this video would be downright hypnotic.

SICK!

doesn't take a film nerd to see a Mr. Spike Jonze's may have lent a hand in this...

*wtf at that _massive_ fireball after the switchflip over the stairs

"Fully Flared is a skateboarding video by Lakai, directed by Ty Evans, Spike Jonze and Cory Weincheque."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_Flared

Dir. Ty Evans talks about the intro (shot 3 weeks before the movie premier), and about filming skateboarding in HD here - http://www.skateperception.com/viewspot/19/

I didn't know people in Iraq skateboarded. Who knew!

Man, explosions and super slow-mo would make anything look cool. Imagine running for the bus. Parallel parking, even.

My favorite video of 2008... so far.

I really like this song! I want it!

Was indeed quite impressive... there are a couple of places there where you have to think the boarder didn't expect the explosion to be quite THAT big!

I do love me some slo mo destruction.

To be any crazier, you'd have to beat it with a stick.

A stick with a bomb on the end!

So, is that some digital effect or where they actually blowing stuff up? Perhaps a mix of the two?

Either way... damn, skate videos have come a long way from the fella on the skateboard with the camcorder and the fisheye lens.

Still, never going to beat Secondhand Smoke in my book.

My head exploded from the fact that none of their heads did.

Umm guys the explosions are comped on, sorry to burst your bubbles but there were no actual explosions going off while the skateboarders where in shot.

It's called special effects. Like Star Wars, you know.

*cinema, wha!
