French Fred ‘Arizona’ video

Fred Mortagne AKA French Fred has just released this archive video short called Arizona.

The video was originally made as a trailer for Flip Skateboard's Extremely Sorry video and shot at Geoff Rowley's Arizona retreat between 2006 and 2008.

However, as it heavily features Arto Saari (who left the team prior to the film's release), the video was edited out of history.

Says Fred: "For some obvious team changing reasons, we couldn't use it anymore. I was sad. So it went straight down to the cellar, next to the red wine bottles, hoping someday we could finally get it out and let everyone have a little sip on it."

Enjoy those scorched, desert skate vibes...
