Franklin Stephens Footage Feast
Franklin Stephens Footage Feast
This week’s Footage Feast goes to Ipswich legend, street barbarian and section-producing machine Franklin Stephens. Part of the OG Unabomber team as well as a fleeting moment skating for Cliché, his prolific output in various scene, shop, tour and magazine videos has led to an incredible amount of footage being available for this one, all of it banging. Rumour has it that Stephens was part of the original tests by the British government to create a monster-legged ‘super soldier’ able to leap incredible distances, before a funding cut saw Thrasher swooping in to buy the research and use it to create Aaron ‘Jaws’ Homoki
Due to the sheer amount available we haven’t included all of the edits where you can find Frank; but luckily if you want to explore further and watch, say, the Cliché Roast Beef tour, or Channel 4 skate tour documentary No War For Heavy Metal, it will take a mere click upon those words to take you there.
Otherwise, start clicking through to see Frank laying down some of the rawest street skating to come from these isles…
