Spike Jonze For Your Brain

I don't know or care if you know who Spike Jonze is, but. He was a senior photography for Transworld Skateboarding (magazine), in his past he has directed and shot skateboarding videos such as most notably Blind Skateboard company's Video Days in 1991 and in 1996 Girl Skateboards film Mouse. He also co-directed the Girl Skateboards film Yeah Right! and the Chocolate Skateboards video Hot Chocolate. In the closing credits montage of Yeah Right! Spike is shown doing a nollie heelflip in loafers.

Anyways back to my point or whatever, one of Spike Jonze's recent films he has finished is Lakai Fully Flared. Fully Flared is a skateboarding film by Lakai Footwear directed by Ty Evans, Spike Jonze and Cory Weincheque. The video's release got posponed for about two years, mainly due to important team additions, and overall it took four whole years to make it. Here is a segment from the film, one of my favourites ironically it is just the intro but whatever, I enjoyed the whole film, make sure you check this out.
