Chase Hawk “It’s Later Than You Think” Section – CULT

June 8, 2019

Here’s one that you cannot miss! Cult have released Chase Hawk‘s section from the “It’s Later Than You Think” DVD, and as expected, it turned out absolutely amazing. Watch as Chase slays street spots, bowls, pools and more. As always, Chase brings his speed and style to everything, making everything look so damn good. Hit play and take in everything from start to finish!

“He first featured on the pages of DIG back in Issue 14 (Jan/Feb 2001) as a young whippersnapper kicking his bike around with effortless style. Fast forward 18 or so years and he holds a spot as one of the most respected riders out there, an icon of bike control, and possession of an ability to make the simplest (and not so simple) motions become a work of art. With many epic video parts under his belt it’s time to introduce you to his latest masterpiece (if you didn’t catch it on DVD already), released last year, his Cult “It’s Later Than You Think” section is another banger which will leave pegless fans and style fans’ jaws on the floor. The Austin boy did it again.

“Next up in our ‘Behind The Part’ series we have the king of style himself, Chase Hawk. Chase briefly explains the process he went through filming his ‘It’s Later Than You Think’ part and how whilst on one of the filming trips for this CULT’s Art Director Adam Roye tagged along to Cali with his VHS camera. The result is a look at the the often decrepit surrounds Chase and Co find themselves in when searching out these diamond pool spots with a bit extra riding for you coping fans out there!
