A right old treat here with a double dose of Louie Lopez, dropping virtually simultaneously from Converse Cons and FA. Is there a better human representation of a skateboarding come-up based on sheer talent and humility than that of LA's very own Mr Lopez?
Louie's skateboarding journey has been documented and under the microscope from the tender age of 13. For many, this attention has proved to be a destructive force, releasing the twin demons of underage insanity and regrettable kiddy-style documentation - for a variety of reasons however, Louie Lopez has managed to swerve this wunderkind curse and mature into one of the most highly rated skaters on the planet.
Louie's earliest exposure was as the long-haired and brace-wearing mini ripper announced in Globe footwear's United by Fate (2007) and then cemented into skate lore in his banger 2009 Extremely Sorry part for former sponsors Flip Skateboards.
Despite the expected sniping of the time, aimed squarely at Flip skateboards' acquisition of Louie, (along with fellow murder midgets Curren Caples and David Gonzalez) Jeremy Fox, Ian Deacon and Geoff Rowley's eye for talent was vindicated once again with all three additions maturing into some of the gnarliest skaters on the planet a few years later.
This first of this week's double dose of Louie Lopez comes in the form of a three minute part (we think it's solid enough to warrant that description) filmed in and around Louie's native LA during the last 6 months of lockdown. Hands get sliced open by skate-stoppers, the infamous LAX banks get treated to an unfathomable backside noseblunt slide shove it, the Sister Sledge track rules and there's little to no bullshit over-zoom filming. In short - it's everything that you could ask for in a clip. Get it watched immediately.
If you're not satisfied by the Converse Cons 'Lola' clip above never fear, as Jason Dill and AVE's FA World Entertainment have your back with a slightly shorter, slightly rawer but equally as cracking expose of Louie's undeniable talents in the form of the 'The Louie Lopez II'.
