KROOKED KRONICHLES
Finally a skate DVD that is worth the money you pay for it. Krooked put their DVD out as a double disc that is full of krooked madness. There is a colorful cover and sleeve art, work courtesy of Mark Gonzales himself. This DVD is a must have for any collector. I have worn this one out with constant viewing pleasure.
Van Wastell kicks it off with style and grace. There is a lack of lines in his part but check them out in the credits. However, his part is full of smooth ass bangers. I mean who else does half cab 5-0's down rails? Nobody that's who. There are two amazing friends or shall I say guest parts in the DVD with pros and ams from the past and present. Zared Bassett almost has a full part, what?
Drehobl and Gonzales hold down the veteran parts. With names like these you know the skating is epic as it gets. Drehobls lip wizardry and pool destruction to Neil Diamond's "Forever in Blue Jeans" is the shit. Believe it or not this guy doesn't smoke weed but he may well be the Marlboro Man. Tranny ain't dead it just smells funny. This may well be one of last times we get to see Gonz on film so cherish it. This guy is and always will be skateboarding. My personal favorite is the 5-0 double corner carve to disaster on seven feet of vert.
Not the last part in the DVD but holy shit I love Bobby Worrest. This kid is so fucking amazing. Switch regular who cares, he has it all, in line too as a matter of fact.
East Coast kids always seem to have style and loose lines (not to mention no tight pants).
Watch out for Bobby and D.C. cohort, Zach Lyons. Both of these youngsters are on a serious come up. Ask Chris Hall all about it.Last but not least the bonus disc. The second disc is full of goodies. There is an Artists Feature section with Mark's friends including Neckface.There is also an international and flow teams section. Check out the man from down under Andrew Currie.
Gonz also has some classic gems hidden in there but, you have to find these yourself. Hint think "Future Primitive" friend. The bottom line is go buy this DVD bitches.
CIRCA: It's Time
First and foremost, thanks and apologies to Josh Roberts at Milo Sport for loaning me this DVD to review, which I still have not returned. At press time, this DVD was only available if you bought a certain pair of shoes, that's beat. That was the only downside to this DVD though. Oh except there are no Curtis Colamonico and Grant Patterson parts. Maybe they'll be in the super platinum edition for $100. Alright enough bitching.
After a cool black and white introduction, first up to bat is Jon Allie. Skating to Black Sabbbath seems like a burnt concept, especially from ZERO team riders. Allie skating is tight though. He has kickflip front tails on lock and a mean switch 50-50 on a kinked rail. Jon does a line at the home of the Utah Jazz. Get your shit done now kids Utah is getting seriously blown out.
Next up is the kid from Montana Mr. Sierra Fellars. Straight-kicked-off MYSTERY for not partying and board sponsor less for a while, Sierra has a stock pile of great footage. Sierra does everything at high speeds and butter bolts landings on every trick. The Australian four block gets destroyed by this kid with a sweet nollie heel shifty and every other trick in the book. Sierra has a good mix of tech and gnar expect him to be around for a while. Good first full part, son.
A pretty standard part from Adrian Lopez. What can I say I like this kids steez. He always looks like one pissed off Mexican. I know how it is though, plus if ain't broke don't fix it. Adrian like most pros is working on multiple DVD parts. Dennis Durrant has an excellent first showing. If you don't know who Dennis is you will after this vid. I have a boner just thinking about good his POPWAR part will be.
From what I have read about Windsor James he seems like your typical adolescent dip shit. From putting creases in all your clothes to wearing ghetto gowns. You know why they call 'em ghetto gowns don't you? Think it has something to do with obese chicks from the projects that are pregnant. Windsor is none of the above are you? He does however remind me of Samuel Jackson as Mace Windu the Jedi Master. This kid is on some serious balance shit, respect due to the black Jedi from the four corners.
