OK Then…
To be perfectly honest, I’m a little indifferent about this one. It’s a commercial/short film of sorts featuring everyones favorites, Sheckler, Lutzka, and Rogers. There is some reasonably well filmed skating in there but it is just so amazingly lame (not sure if its as bad as the Method Man …
