The Lakai team recently went on a tour through Germany, Switzerland and France called Voltage. And guess what? They brought along some cameras, and those cameras do process called "recording". Then there's this other process called editing, and that's exactly what they're in the process of right now.

Below is a teaser of the 25 minute video that documents the tour and will be released on December 6 over at www.lakai.com. It's kind of an early holiday present.

So check out: Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Guy Mariano, Marc Johnson, Brandon Biebel, Sean Malto, Vincent Alvarez, Riley Hawk, Mike Mo, Jesus Fernandez, Sean Brady, Danie Espinoza, Cairo Foster, J.B. Gillet, NIck Jensen and Raven Tershy:

Crailtap has released some more Mini DV raw footage from when Lakai was filming for a little flick entitled, "Fully Flared." This is recipe 54. So check out Marc Johnson, Mike Carroll and Eric Koston at work attempting to get clips for quite possibly the biggest skate video of all time.


MJ went on to win a "Thrasher Skater of the Year" trophy because of his section, Carroll got even more hypie and Koston said thanks for the part I'm off to Nike (and that was after Pappalardo already left for Converse, and Alex Olson for Vans).

In case you don't know, when you're a major skate company that makes major skate video releases, internet shorts and whatever else, there is a lot of leftover footage. That's what the Crailtap Mini DV series is all about, going back and releasing more. The number is actually the number of the tape used, so in this case they're up to 54.

Marc Johnson, Lakai and Utility skate shop have a little contest for all you aspiring shoe designers out there. If you can put the together the best combinations of colors on the new MJ Select Lakai shoe you will not only win a Marc Johnson prize pack, but more importantly have you colorway put into production and sold internationally.

I'm sure Marc will have something to with picking the winner, so just remember keeo it unique. MJ is one of the most original and for lack of a better word, weird, skateboarders out there.

Nick Jensen is a stylie British skateboarder who quietly kills it on the not-so-skate-friendly old streets of London. He had a part in my favorite skate video of the year,"Make Friends With The Color Blue," put out by his deck sponsor Blueprint skateboards. It's a British brand and hasn't really made its mark in the US like Flip, but they're for sure legit.

Good skateboarders + good filming and editing = a good skateboard company. The video just really appeals to the senses. Visually appealing with it's European settings, and amazing on the audio senses with its creativity inspiring soundtrack. And Jensen's style oozing skateboarding fits perfect

Lakai, Jensen's shoe sponsor, felt it was necessary to keep the creation coming with some more footage of the Londoner. And if there is one skate brand that can make an internet short, that highlights the uniqueness of a skateboarder it's Lakai. Hell, there internet pollution rivals a lot of other skate brands video releases.

So check out another installment of Nick Jensen brought to you by Lakai:
