After nearly four years in production, the most anticipated skateboarding video ever made lives up to the hype, while marking codirector Spike Jonze’s return to the genre after his groundbreaker, Blind’s Video Days. With Fully Flared, featuring topnotch skateboarders, the opening shots alone—on an exploding obstacle course that requires a mix of deft technique and dazzling tricks to navigate—might be the most insanely weird and beautiful sequence you ever see. Further propelled by a soundtrack including Arcade Fire, Bad Brains, Calexico, Flaming Lips and David Bowie, it’s no stretch to call Fully Flared an awesome achievement.
