Meditations on Crust — Traffic Skateboards’ “It’s Completely Fine” Video

The blue collar skateboarding stalwarts over at Traffic released their latest project, It’s Completely Fine: The Toynbee Project late last night. Features full parts from Kevin Coakley, Chris Teta, Hiroki Muraoka, Luke Malaney, Josh Feist and James Sayres, in addition to appearances from the rest of the crew in between. If you pay close attention, you might even spot a pre-Lasik Keith Denley emptying out his backlog of glasses clips.

Anyone who has seen a Traffic project before knows what to expect: rather than hinging their productivity on the rotation of shit that’s in all the other east coast videos, they find, restore and battle a cornucopia of asphalt inclines and cracked cement. You can practically see the flashbacks of all the attempts it probably took Coakley to roll away from that ender back tail as he’s still rattling down the bank. You’re not going to catch much by way of Big Screen, Muni or Pulaski clips, and when something like the Albany plaza does show up, it’s with a third-eye open.

Video by Jake Todd. As you know, Theories is one of the premier torch carriers for video hardcopies, and It’s Completely Fine could be picked up on DVD for the purists over on their webstore.
