Best drop knee video clip we have seen in a long time

SurveillanceMedia uploaded this sick Puerto Escondido video clip the other day with Mason Rose, Lackey, Luke Hall, Brandon Foster, Dubb and Jeff Bragg. It’s one of the sickest drop knee video clip we’ve seen in a long time. We reckon this trip in from last year, there was an article in Movement about the trip.

Anyway you gotta watch this, then grab your dk board and go surf: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=DUqe5t-6nt0. Sickesssttt stuff.

The Joker II by Damian King

Damian King will release his JOKER II dvd pretty soon. We actually just read this on the NF Aus website. Some premieres are scheduled at the end of November in Oz. Click here for more info.

We weren’t big fans of the Joker I to be totally honest (the review we did is here). The end of our review went like this: “The editing and footage is good but a biography on video is never really exciting and the music isnt that good. If you are one of Damian’s fan you should get the video though”.

However… we weren’t big fans of the Hardlyfe I by Ryan Hardy either… but we loved the Hardlyfe II dvd which had no biography stuff at all, wasnt boring, and was just super good footage of Hardy and his mates.

So… this would lead us to think that we might actually love The Joker II coz i guess this one will be like Hardlyfe II – no biography stuff, just good waves from Damian and his mates ! Plus Damian rips on the knee so hopefully well see him getting shacked on the knee !
