2014: Kevin Francis — “Let it Roll”

by David Read

Posted 09 Dec 2021

Kevin Francis’s stellar part from the “Let it Roll” video, a Wellington skateboarding film by Jason Gallant released in 2014.

Kevin shared this video online today, so I thought it’d be good to post it up here. “Let it Roll” was one of those monumental Wellington videos that featured a hoard of heavyweights from the era. Alongside Kevin, Matt Hosey, Jason Gallant, Luke Browne, Chad Hoskin, Michael Knuckey, Shibby Strofer, Jack Fagan, Hootie Andrews, Harry Culy, Jesse Abolins and Joseph Whaanga make up the cast. It is one of many classics from the capital.
