When Fancy Lad Skateboards wrote us, we thought they were just another random skate company out of bumblefuck America making a video of their local spots and skaters – which they are. But then we poked around Youtube, watched their full length video and a promo where they “review” VHS tapes, and realized we weren’t just dealing with anyone. Fancy Lad was started by Nick “Big” Murray and Colin Fiske (of PJ Ladds Wonderful Horrible Life fame) out of Boston. They certainly are lads and I suppose could be fancy if I saw them on the street wearing a suit or something, but that probably won’t happen.
Anyway, check out their full length video (above) which features a bunch of fully grown men fucking around and skateboarding, some pro cameos, and plenty of really really random moments which you will enjoy while your stoned. Or scroll down and check out some photography they sent us.
