Hi-Fi New York

Thanks to my good friend Yuck at Velocity Skateshop (Md.) for forwarding this vid link, which is nothing less than Krooked Skateboards’ “Gnar Gnar” in its entirety. Watch it here.

Well, I know everyone’s all up ons Lakai’s “Fully Flared” right about now, seeing how it dropped last night and all, but I wasn’t lucky enough to get a ticket to the premiere (not am I lucky enough to live on the left coast … nor am I fortunate enough to actually know anyone remotely affiliated with Lakai, Four Star, etc.), so this Krooked “Naughty” trailer is all I’ve got for now.

Which is actually plenty. If this trailer’s any indication, Gonz is really putting his mark on the Krooked vids: quirky and impressionistic, with some 80’s-ish pop-type-stuff. But the best part is seeing some of his animations come to life. I’d purchase the DVD just for those alone.

Anyway, seeing Gonz in a bandeezie (I think it’s him, at least; the pixelated video makes it hard to tell) left me hoping he films his next part in a pair of zebra-striped weightlifting pants. That’d be enough to lift anyone’s spirits on a rainy, cold Saturday afternoon.
