Kevin Baekkel is one of the gnarliest skateboarders in the game right now, but the dude is so low key, it's easy to forget. To celebrate his new Independent Pro Hollow Trucks, the Norwegian ripper pieced together some clips and broke down the design details on his new Indys, and it's packed with power. Hold on tight and press play:
"Kevin Baekkel breaks down the design behind his new Independent Pro Hollow Trucks, from the Norse hammer tattoo on his hand to the pad-printed art by his friend Hans Heggum, alongside heavy clips on big rails and massive spots," Indepedent wrote on YouTube. Heavy clips on big rails and massive spots is an absolute understatement, if you ask me, though. Every clip here is basically an ender.
Personally, I can't wait to see Kevin's part in the upcoming Creature video. The dude has never under-delivered, and quite frankly, I don't think he can. He skates like a maniac. It's like he wants to be scared. And if this is what he brings to the table for some Indy promo, then damn, I can't even imagine what he has on ice right now.
Creature teased the video recently, but it was just a quick Insta hit, to be honest. I think we'll get something with a little more depth sooner than later, but you should still check it out. Tap the post above and get a taste.
Baekkel's Independent Pro Hollow Trucks are at shops as we speak, and honestly, they're super sick. Roll through and swoop a pair up, if you're keen. And keep this edit in your back pocket to take into the weekend. It's hammer time! And Kevin's in the driver's seat.
