The Final Flare - Deluxe Bonus Edition
2008-12-22 4:42PM / 標準BLOG
Voted 2008’s skate video of the year by all skateboard magazines,
Lakai’s legendary Fully Flared video has been released in a new Deluxe Bonus Edition Box Set.The Lakai Final Flare Deluxe Bonus Edition includes 3 discs:
Disc One is the original release of Fully Flared,
Disc Two is the Bonus disk which has the 60 minute documentary about the video, 25 minutes of bonus unused footage, 45 minutes of hi-def footage & interviews & commercials.
Disc Three is an HD Blue-Ray disc which contains a 45 minute edit of all the HD footage with new stuff that was never seen all in glorious Hi-Def 720 resolution, Vincent Alverez’s part for Chocolate in HD, a couple of commericials, a 10 minute documentary of a weekend at Bibel’s & the amazing intro part with all the explosions in HI-def 16:9.
The 48-page bonus edition booklet, which comes with the box set, is a collector’s Jem. I won’t go into the details of the book, but it has more behind the scenes info about the film.
I spent the weekend watching this, the documentary covers a bit about the beginnings of Lakai Limited footwear, & the making of the video. I re-watched the original film again a couple of times after watching the documentary; it was inspiring to know about how they pulled this video together.
The HD bonus footage was fun to watch, with familiar spots from China
I rarely blog about skateboard videos, but this skate video is probably the best I have seen to date; I now have a deeper respect & admiration for the living legends Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Eric Koston, & especially Guy Mariano! Props out to Marc Johnson, Cairo Foster, Jesus Fernandez, Lucas Puig, JB Gillet, Nick Jensen & to the filming & directing of Ty Evans, Spike jonze & Cory Weincheque!
My favorite to watch are Alex Olson (son of Steve Olson ) & Mike Mo Capaldi, as Rick Howard mentioned in the video, Mike Mo is a “Skateboard Savant” - a natural born skateboarding genius.
If you love skateboarding, this is THE video set to get. I guarantee you it will inspire you. If you love Skateboard videograpy or filming & editing in general get this video. The edits & filming are second to none.
I so feel the Lakai Manchesters now. Seriously, Lakai shoes are probably one of the MOST under-rated shoe brands in Hong Kong / SE Asia!!
* Thanks to JBS @ 8Five2 Shop for holding a copy for me.

Know1edge x Daniel Wu
2008-12-10 12:10PM / 標準BLOG
I tagged along to the press conference for the Know1edge x Daniel Wu collection at DNM last Sunday to check out highly anticipated line…
The giant screen outside DNM had a behind the scenes video, put together by Annie~
These are the labels on a tee from the collection, the “Daniel Wu” label is ILL!
the man……
Brian, Annie & Daniel worked really hard on the project, which I heard about months ago when Brain & I went to Korea. I was super psyched to hear about the collection & after I saw the catalog, I could not wait to see & try on the pieces! I had a chance to ask Annie about working with Daniel:
“I was really impressed with Daniel’s work ethics. I wasn’t sure how it would be to work with something on Know1edge as it’s always been Brian and I only but, it was a really good experience. He was very willing to learn what he didn’t know and put a lot of his ideas from the photo-shoots, the the locations, to the measurements, down to the details. I was impressed with his hard work.
We all decided to make the best quality products we could possibly make while keeping the costs more economically friendly. We hand-picked all the fabrics together and used Paul Smiths technician for Daniel’s collection. Overall, I’m really more than happy with the outcome of the collection. It’s definitely wearable, classic, and stylized.”
