Countdwon to the release of the new Krux video "Feelin it!" has begun!
Aside from Krepershow, Krux is the only truck company to put out a video since Gullwing in the late 80's...and we're on our third!
In honor of passing of the torch from the highly acclaimed "Blown Out" to our latest film I submit this photo:
If you haven't seen Blown Out you might want to check it out for the soundtrack alone cause it doesn't look like we're sneaking Prince into this one!
Now, on a personal note, I read Bob Burnquist's interview in the latest Skateboard Mag and he mentioned my Guest Ed a few months back where I blew off a little steam at the "all things extreme" surge I was feeling was prevalent at the time. I felt a little embarrassed while reading it cause there's a sequence of a switch backside 360 over some 50 foot gap and he's talking about how I called him out on the base jump thing. I thought 'Who the hell do you think you are Ronald?!! I mean this man pumped the loop, raw dog! I went to Baldy, I saw the marks on the roof. Its seriously crazed.'
However, regardless of the utmost respect for Bob, I don't really take anything back. I wasn't hating on his stuff, just a general disgust with all that was going on in the mags right there. I think Thrasher's "Skate Ninja" was what really drove me over the edge. Well, when he gets his pro interview (yeah right) he can hate on me all he wants. Frontflip roundhouse to my face!
I found this envelope with some notes scrawled on the back this morning. Probably why I brought the whole base-jump-ninja thing up in the first place. I think it was my initial rant on the subject:
I don't know why I hate on the crossover so.
Maybe its because I feel like I'm getting force fed sky surfing like a Chicken Mc Nugget through society?
But I love Chicken Mc Nuggets!
And I think a backflip on a bike is a beautiful thing.
Maybe its when they lump our sports together under the umbrella of "extreme" that disgusts me...
then it just sort of trails off into some illegible markings, looks like it might have been a martini induced rant.
Quick Re-Cap:
-Feelin It! out in April!
-Blown Out has a tasty soundtrack
-Bob is good
-Martinis bad
that is all. thank you, good night.
