Keith Lant and Dave Hanson have worked their ass off to caputure some of the bestwakeskaters on film. Their film, Fun Boots! premiered in Orlando in January and Austin in March. These boys are always pushing the limits and making things happen for wakeskaters. They know how to get a job done and party when it's over. Keith stopped by the other day to fill me in on what's been going down in his Fun Boots!

First things first, the title, how did you come up with the name?

Dave Hanson, Andy Pastura, and I were on way back from Lazy Moon grabbing pizza and texting each other random names for the film.Andy P sent me Fun Boots!, I didn' (TM)t believe him and then he actually spoke it to me' it was done.Fun Boots! it was.

Is this your first project or have there been others?What were they?

Esoteric was my first.Came out in about June 2007.All wakeskating, check it out.

What made you go for an all wakeskate film?

Wakeskaters work harder at the films they' (TM)re working on.It' (TM)s intense because it takes a ton of effort to get out to a gap, that you may or may not get kicked out of, get the winch out there, and not get paid a lot to do it.Wakeskaters are dedicated.

How long have you been filming for it?

A year and a half.Final product finished March 2009.Whawhat.

Where were some of the locations you filmed?

Throughout the entire state of Florida and Georgia and Texas.And a couple parties in Virginia (probably the most important aspect).

What was your favorite part about the entire project?

Hanging out with good friends and making things happen the entire time.

What riders are featured in it?

Ben Horan, Stu Shinn, Nick Taylor, Travis Duran, Clint Tompkins, Matt Hooker, Andy Pastura

How about those sweet Fun Boots tanks, can we buy those anywhere?

The premiere was at Semoran Skate.How was it received by the crowd?

All were stoked to rollerskate while watching a wakeskate video.What' (TM)s not to like about that.I had a blast with everyone there and there were plenty of cheers throughout the night.FYI: Brian Soderlind (Bear) and Brian Reeder were breaking it down on the rollerskates all night

I saw photos of the cake, it looked tasty, was it?

Grandma Gill knows how to make some cake.

Any other premieres planned for other locations?

We already did our Austin, TX premiere, a complete failure and success at the same time.
