A little about the introduction for the Ride The Sky video from Fallen Shoes
With a song of the same name as the video, what more could you possibly ask for in an intro? Set into motion by the use of some fantastic time lapse cloud shots, the intro lets you know exactly why you picked up this video; theres some big stuff getting ready to go down, coupled with some crazy speeds. While the song is not my favorite, Brian “Slash” Hansen’s epic pivot fakie is, and additionally the handrail ollie to lipslide the next set and Gilbert Crockett’s four beautiful intro clips will leave your jaw slack. Why those clips weren’t in his part is beyond me. Marks and Sandoval also throw down some hammers to wrap it up. Turns out T-Sans can fs flip anything he wants. Also lots of bonus footage plus a whole montage in HD, if you have a high def TV pop in this DVD and drool to the quality of this montage. I also love the menu for the extras, its a super artsy clip of Josh Harmony chucking his board into the sunset.

Fallen Shoes Ride The Sky Video Review

As a summary, this video is definitely a good investment, I saw the premiere of it over the summer and since then I’ve had a certain love for this video. While dominated by handrails, stairs and gaps, there’s still plenty of different spots and tricks and even a good dose of originality in there to keep any type of skater entertained, and also to reassure everyone that being ‘gnar’ isnt just about crook grinds, kickflips, and feebles. Indeed, this video caters to a more down to earth, classic mood for its presentation, and doesnt feel temporary in the least, especially compared to counterparts such as Nike’s Nothing But The Truth and Lakai’s Fully Flared, which both sport an ultra-modern feel. Top three parts for me are the young guns; Tommy Sandoval, Gilbert Crockett, and James Hardy, but there’s plenty else to get excited about. Go grab a copy of this DVD, and support a company that has skateboarding held deeply in its heart.
