Wolfpack Hustle = Quentin Tarantino

Got a tip from a reader that I thought was worth sharing.

This is the intro to the skate video Fully Flared which was released last year by the Lakai shoe company.



Even though I haven't ridden a skateboard since the time Marty McFly made riding a skateboard cool back in the in the summer of '85, I'm still struggling to get my jaw off the floor after watching that rather impressive display of skating and explosions.

Now here's a trailer from the Wolfpack for their upcoming video documenting the second running of their "All City Team Race" which went down over Labor Day weekend.

Anything sound familiar?

Now that they've fully Borg'd messenger culture it looks like borrowing from skaters is the next stop on the Wolfpack train.

At this rate, M83's Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun will be the new Battle Without Honor or Humanity. Once Quentin Tarantino lifted that song and brought it to the masses, it took less than a year for it become the title track for the ubiquitous cliche.

M83, when you're cashing those royalty checks when your song is used to promote the release Apple's next iPod, do you think you could kick a little something the Wolfpack's way? A lot of those guys are riding around the big city on bikes with no brakes and that's just not safe.
