KENNY GRIFFIN- LIVING IN STANDARD + INTERVIEW

Kenny Griffin has been a young buck on the come up for a minute now. Getting his start with Lucky, he moved onto a pro spot on Anaquda and has been progressing with no signs of stopping.  His newest video, "Living in Standard," is his best effort yet and has been revered by many riders since it dropped yesterday.  OG Brian Boston said it well when he remarked "Looks like he has so much more potential too."  I hit up KG to get some more details behind the video and what it takes to have a cool miata.

Jordan Jasa:  How long did you spend filming?

Kenny Griffin:  I spent about 7 months filming.

Damn haha shorter than I expected. What made you decide to go SD instead of HD?

I just wanted to change it up Ive never filmed anything in standard and I like the feel/vibe and then once we filmed a few clips in standard we just decided we were going to do the whole thing like that.

Also 7 months is the longest I've really filmed for a part before so to me it felt like a really long time.

Yeah for sure, you can definitely tell you took some time on it. What cameras did you guys use then?

We used a vx1000 s/o kushfart  and then Damion used his HVX but you can put it into standard definition mode and it works pretty much just like a Vx.

Word. Which trick took you the longest? Or what was most satisfying to land?

Honestly the front Board fakie to frontside cab front Board whip on the white rails took sooo long and I was getting kicked out for the last attempts and had been trying it for legit 2 hours then just landed it perfect that felt pretty good to roll away from

Dealing with getting kicked out on top of trying to land the trick is definitely super stressful, must have felt nice. Were most of the spots local to you or did you travel anywhere?

There was a good amount of local spots but we traveled a lot. We went to SF then some places a few hours a way that we had spots planned out to go too. Also I went to San deigo and got some clips.

Miata clips were cool too, tell us about that thing.

Haha well I've always kinda been into cars then recently I bought that miata and I love it and am always sliding it or just clutch kicking. Then after riding a spot at this school Damion told me to bang a few donuts then disappear down the hill, so I did and it ended turning out to be a really cool intro everyone seems pretty stoked on it ha, but my miata will be slammed soon s/o to jared and his miata.

Hard top is necessary if you wanna be cool.

Hahha yeah but droptopboyz.

But seriously, how much did hairdressing school cost?

Hahahhahahhahahhhahaahaahaah

Really though good job on the video, you and Damion killed it.

Thank you I appreciate it, didn't really think people would back it this hard I'm stoked.

Kenny Griffin at Woodward West ft David Ramirez

Kenny was recently a counselor at Woodward West, and him and his homie David put together a solid edit from their time there. Always good to see Kenny riding, but I think we can all agree that we are impatiently waiting for another street edit from him. When's it dropping Kenny?!

Kenny Griffin Welcome to Anaquda

It shocked just about everyone when Kenny Griffin made the switch from Lucky, to Anaquda. They are still in the process of establishing themselves here in the US, and Kenny is going to help them in that department for sure. This edit is proof of that. Might in fact be my new favorite Kenny Griffin edit, and that's saying something considering he has never dropped a bad edit. Full speed on everything, and.. that banger. Solid job on the filming and editing by Damion Black as always.

Lucky Scooters | Kenny Griffin Start of 2014

Kenny has been gaining more recognition lately as he's transitioned from your average kid at the park to an outstanding young shredder in the streets.  He's definitely got that youth mentality, not afraid to hit any rail you put in front of him.  Props to Damion Black on the film/edit as well.

Kenny has been going out with filmer Damion Black lately and stacking clips.  This is a promo for the video which will be out soon.

Lucky Scooters Rusch Ride Day ft Jared Jacobs and Kenny Griffin

Lucky street heads Jared Jacobs and Kenny Griffin, along with their friend Dylan Marz put down some solid clips in this little edit. Can't wait to see these guys back in the streets.

Kenny Griffin Lucky Pro Team Edit

..And people thought Lucky was a park Team.. Well Kenny Griffin contradicts that in a big way with his latest edit. The whole thing is just super enjoyable. Good song choice, great filming and editing by Damion Black, and some really good spots. But in the end it comes down to how good Kenny's riding is. Definitely an underrated street rider. Check it out.

Lucky Scooters Kenny Griffin Street Edit

I think it's funny how people consider Lucky a "Park Team" when they have dudes like Kenny Griffin who can murder the streets. This was a really sick edit, song fit and filming was pretty on point. You can tell he put a lot of work into this edit, which is something I wish we saw more. Can't wait to see his next edit.

Kenny Griffin VertX Sponsor Video

This is a young kid from northern Cali.  Kenny does some cool stuff and some wack stuff but he definitely has potential.  He's a name to remember in the future for sure.  And if you don't remember it, he will make sure you see his name...trust me on that haha.
