Can we please have a large round of applause for the 2010 Create and Skate winning team…LAKAI!! Yes, Lakai did it again, withe the help of director Ty Evans, and came out with an outstanding video part for the 2010 Create and Skate competition.
Here is how the competition worked. Four teams (Adidas, Lakai, Etnies, Fallen) made up of six skaters (four pros, 2 ams) had 9 days in a warehouse with the same set of obstacles, one art director, a Transworld Skateboarding photographer, and a film crew. The videos were then judged by TWS editing staff. Lakai wins.
This video is truly exception in my mind, I am sure you all will enjoy it as well!
“About a year ago, I was talking to my friend Tim in the band Ima Robot. He asked me to do a music video for their new song. I had just filmed Neckface throw a Molotov cocktail against a wall at night and loved how it looked. I transferred that idea to skaters skating burning spots from Molotov cocktails, but it was hard to pull off at real spots. But, unfortunately, Ima Robot just went independent, so they couldn’t fund it. Six months later, Rick Howard’s at my house, and we’re talking about Lakai’s yearly budget, and he mentioned that Lakai might do S&C. I showed him my idea for the music video and he was like, “Let’s do it.” I’ve said it before, but there was so much bullshit with making Fully Flared, so it was cool to have everyone psyched and not stressing about their part. It felt how the intro to FF should have felt. So it had a redeeming quality to it. In the end, Lakai used Ima Robot’s song for free, and they got a music video out of it. Funny how things come full circle.” – Ty Evans
