Boom… It’s on! The Shook “It’s On” DVD is now online.

Big shout out to Ryan Howard for taking the time to upload all of these Shook DVD’s the past week or so. Here’s a look at the Shook “It’s On” DVD that featured Jeff Klugiewicz, Kym Grosser, Karl Poynter, Jeff Kocsis, Mark Gralla, Eric Holley and Brad Simms, with a mix section that featured Tony Neyer, Andrew Moor, Dan Marion, Jeff Kennedy, Jeremy Barcik, Jesse Dewlow, Quinn Semling, Will Love, Eli Platt and Josh Suhre. This video was released back in 2006 and features a ton of familiar faces we’re still seeing riding from today. Once again, this video was produced by Chad Shackelford and turned out amazing from the film work and graphics side of things. If you have been watching the different Shook DVD’s over the past week or so, you have likely noticed how the videos have gone from a fairly loosely planned thing, to a pretty set direction and format that kept things flowing really well. Either way, awesome video that’s well worth a watch!
