Around the start of the year Chase Hawk left Vans to join an ever expanding team of riders over at Etnies. At the time not a whole lot more than a couple of photos and a formal announcement was made. The reason? this video below. Having the extra time Chase teamed up with filmer Mike Manzoori to put together an edit worthy of Chase’s riding. The video over nine minutes in length, features an intro from fellow team members like Corey Martinez, Nathan Williams and Aaron Ross. Then it winds up to a full section with killer tunes by Black Cobra to compliment Chases’ effortless style, amazing bike control and his ability to appear comfortable on anything he rides. The video ends with a bunch of second angles, behind the scenes clips and a hint of a third Etnies project. This is definitely one to watch.
