Zack Martin Hella Classic Colorway Video

April 11, 2016By hellagripBlog



“This may come as a shock to some of you but, for us, this is classic Zack Martin (aka Martini; “Shaken, not stirred.” – James Bond reference… never mind, moving on)! After releasing an insane edit just a couple weeks ago, Zack’s already got another edit ready to rock the Internet airwaves (and cable fibers, of course). Granted, it’s not like he got ALL this footy in the last week, but it’s enough to prove that this homie is a non-stop shredder and steady clip-stacker. This week’s insane Zack Martin edit is meant to celebrate the drop of his Hella Grip Signature Colorway (Sorry Jake, but your colorway is sooooo last season). It’s almost been too long since Hella Grip has dropped a new sig colorway, so the entire Griptape Community owes Mr. Martini a solid PROPS for working his olives off to get this project finalized (Did you catch that second martini drink reference? Y’all are probs too young to get it, no offense. Though I’m not sure why y’all would you be offended since youth is a virtue to be envied. But who am I to say?). Anyways, Zack is a true homie (like all HG homies), so we’re super stoked to see him destroying every spot he touches and keeping up one of the chilliest attitudes possible in the process. Being that my favorite color is Green (or Purple if I’m feeling a little frisky), I was more than super stoked when I found out that the homie Zack was using Green for his sig colorway. Admittedly, I was also tad bit jealous as well, but I think I’ll learn to live with it after some intense therapy sessions. However, the next homie to get a sig colorway better not even think of using Purple. As per usual, Zack’s sheets will be available in all the dope shops that know how to spot legit-ness. More importantly, use this opportunity to show support for a true shredder and a true homie (support your local shop as well, obvi). Thanks again, Zack! Keep that money-green footy coming.” – the Boss McMasher @mcmasher

Dan Barrett: Sig Homie Grip Video

June 5, 2015By hellagripBlog No Comments

A Message from McMasher:

It’s been a while since we released an official video. We’re just not too keen on slapping together tons of day-edits and parktages (sorry to all you hungry scooter news media sites). The Homies always wanted each HG video to feel special and re-watchable, like the vids you watch every morning before a solid shred session. With the release of our very first signature grip via Homie Dan “DB” Barrett, we had to put together something super-slothy-special. Dan’s been a true Homie since Day One (Día Número Uno for all our Spanish followers). Moreover, his fancy footwork pioneered an innovative style of riding. Hella Grip is just the Sacagawea to his Lewis & Clark mission, helping him guide those fancy feet in the right direction. Alas, DB finally made it all the way to the Pacific Ocean…TWICE! That’s right, we flew Dan out to Oakland, CA for two separate weekends of shredding with the local Homies, and he managed to destroy all the spots we toured. More importantly, DB’s awesome talent is heavily cloaked in a veil of unrivaled chillness. We hope this video demonstrates both sides of his character: Hardcore Shredder & Hardcore Chiller, which is the perfect recipe for a Hardcore Homie. If you support that, then please watch the video and/or purchase some DB Sig Grip from your favorite retailer. We’ll also have specialty packs available through the Official Hella Grip Webstore (including DB Sig shirts, beanies, bottle-openers, koozies, and stickers). HEADS UP: These special DB packs (painstakingly hand-assembled over several days by I, The Boss McMasher, will be solely available at HellaGrip.com (don’t bother begging your local shop to carry these sweet gems) — Hope the vid gets you hyped enough to get off your damn phone and out on the streets. Be sure to send Mr. Barrett a thank you message when you’re done watching. After all, he did manage to pull this video off with just a handful of ride-days. Now none of us have an excuse for a lack of footy. Even if you hate the vid for some dumb reason, at least compliment Dan’s sexy beard (RIP DB’s sexy beard as of last week)… Stay Slothy
