Over two years in the making, Holy Stokes! features an international cast of skaters ranging from street connoisseurs to transition destroyers to hyper-talented up-and-comers rolling and rallying across the planet. Shot entirely in ultra high-definition 4K across dozens of locations spanning every corner of the globe, Holy Stokes! builds on more than 20 years and 30 influential films from the world of Volcom. Directed by skate-film auteur Russell Houghten, Holy Stokes! is a visual documentation of raw skateboarding and the pursuit of stoke.
When Volcom was founded in 1991, it was the first company to combine skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding under one brand from its inception. This way of life influenced the anti-establishment style and attitude that defined a generation. The cultural phenomenon was best captured when Volcom released "Alive We Ride" in 1993: a film documenting the raw excitement and spontaneous creativity inherent to the lifestyle. Twenty-one years later, with the release of "True To This", Volcom again captures the energy and artistry of board-riding in its purest forms. Shot all around the world and showcasing iconic athletes, "True To This" is a tribute to the movement that inspired a generation and the people and places that embody that spirit today.
The 3rd release in Flip's Sorry trilogy of skateboarding insanity. The world famous Flip team continues to evolve with the addition of new talented riders joining the original crew, creating one of the most diverse skate teams in modern history. Famous not only for their insane skateboarding skills, the Flip team are also notorious for their renegade lifestyles -- so don't expect to see them at the Olympics any time soon! Extremely Sorry was so named to be a tongue-in-cheek mockery of the mainstream contest side of skateboarding. Enjoy!
It's tough to write a caption for skating like this. We'll try to keep it simple: David sought out the gnarliest street spots in existence and annihilated them. Mix that in with his timeless transition skills and you have one of the best parts we've ever seen.
