Arik Griggs Beats the Arizona Heat in New 'Summertime Fine' Video Part

Just simply watching some of these clips will make you start to sweat a little! Some of those ditch spots don't just look hot and dry—they are! As a matter of fact, they look downright devastating. Can you imagine actually being there and battling trick after trick under that unforgiving sun? Heavy. But again, Arik is built different and clearly got the job done. 

My buddy (and Zero rider) Adam Arunski shared a teaser of Arik's part on Instagram recently, and I'm glad he did. Dude rips! And I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Arizona footage. It has a vibe of its own and if you've ever skated the spicy southwest terrain, you know exactly what I'm talking about. 

More importantly, Arik put his deep bag of tricks to good use on a handful of rad spots. I like the variety of his skating, too. From ditch diving to ledge dancing to gaps, hubbas and beyond. No spot is safe! And what Arizona video part would be complete without a clip at The Wedge!? Classic. Stay cool out there, Arik! Or don't.
