To distract from their intensely repetitive subject matter, skateboarding videos have used a variety of techniques, from blooper reels showing people hurting themselves, to Spike Jonze post-producing the decks to invisibility.
The latest iteration of this process I will let speak for itself:
Updated: Lakai had the video removed from Youtube. Does anybody understand why a company would do this? The video went seriously viral last week. I encountered it via Dooce (which, if you’re not in to reading about Mormonism and constipation, is one of the most popular blogs on the whole internets), and when I added it to CDMo it had well over 1 million views. The actual video was released in November, so any initial buzz has long faded. Suddenly there is a resurgence of interest in the video, and by association the company, and they respond by removing the video which is causing all of this positive publicity?
hey waitaminute. the nerd blogs i read and my secret skateboarding life are not supposed to intersect!
Aah, but you forget that the nerds have access to all other aspects of your life. Nothing is secret from us.
