Claus Grabke

Claus Grabke Retrospektiv II

We haven’t written about Claus Grabke for at least a month now, so I had to go searching on my computer for this fantastic piece of work. You can believe the words from Grabke’s mouth, or see the utter truth that is this video.

I had no idea where this was even from, but I obviously thought it was important enough to save. (Matt Sefton later informed us that the part is from “This ‘N ‘That” by Andy Evans, a filmmaker from the UK.)

  • That clip just made my day and it’s only 9am.
    oooh effective… but pointless.
    the scary thing is he didn’t have to get back on santa cruz… not when ppistols can get phillips to draw him a new model.
    does anyone else see the irony of the time machine for his new graphic?
    ….proper shit… but soooo funny 🙂

  • PIG CITY

    Funny as F*CK, I want more

  • A

    Shirt size, my man Matt. Cough it up. Compound fracture? Aiee! Mini ramp done?

    This is really well made and quite funny, but at the expense of Claus… I wonder if he’s seen it. This is not the kind of Claus coverage I was talking about, I’ll have to speak with the “staff.” I remember seeing this somewhere on the web as well. I think I’ might even have a copy on my hard drive.

    Too funny. I’m going to see if I can work “How shit is Grabke? Proper shit!

  • I think his hair is made of french bread…

  • Yo Claus, what time is it?

    OK, you have discovered the best skate video of all time! The Grabke (“how shit is Grabke? Proper shit!”) part is from a dvd called This’N’That by Andy Evans, a filmmaker from the UK. This’N’That is his second film and is basically a UK scene video that features some amazing skating as well as some hilarious skit sections. His first film is equally as good and funny and is called Straight to Video. Andy does film work for other companies such as Vans as well as his own stuff.

    This’N’That is being given away free now in UK skate magazines so send me those long lost stickers Randy and I’ll send you a copy. Or you could send me a new Cold War shirt as the hospital had to cut mine off me 3 weeks ago when I had a compound fracture of my radius and ulna 🙂

  • Now that is fucking quality. And he’s not even riding a Grabke reissue!!!
