Cliché’s Bon Voyage world premiere recap.

Arthur Derrien — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:08:39 +0000

Just got back from Lyon where Cliché were having the premiere of their new video “Bon Voyage” at the indoor skatepark. I’m not going to tell you too much about the actual video because I don’t want to spoil any surprises but I can assure you it’s going be an instant classic. Everyone came through with amazing footage and Boris did a really good job with the filming/editing, staying true to the company’s image without necessarily imitating French Fred’s work. Lucas, Flo and JB’s parts were my favorites but I was also blown away by the younger generation. Adrien Coillard, Kevin Bradley (first time I see a 17 year old with such a solid push) and Maxime Géronzi absolutely killed it. Here are a bunch of photos I took (or nicked from Cliché or Facebook…). Some of them might be a little blurry due to the impressive amount of free beer floating around but they should give you an idea of how things went.

Jérémie Daclin had the hectic Jam session under control.

Adrien Coillard didn’t seem too nervous.

By 7pm the skatepark was rammed with impatient skateboarders desperately trying to find a good seat for the video.

Cliché hooked us up with some tasty donuts.

Alex Maison after hearing that Cliché were going to surprise his buddy Flo Mirtain with his first promodel later that evening.

It’s on! Next stop the Voxx bar.

Surprise!

Flo, Lucas, JB, Boris, Clément and me enjoying some celebratory shots at the Voxx. Thanks Nasser!

Flo got given a few of his boards to hand out to his mates. Naturally Nikwen got his first!

Lucas, Seb Housset, Maxime Géronzi and Mat from (Official skate shop Toulouse).

Flo is stoked, Steeve Ramy is trending hard and Adrien looks a like he should get some rest…

Charles got one!

The partying went on for far too long… Boris and the boys looking fresh. 7am after-party at Hotel de ville.

Bumped into JB, Gégé, Al and Boris at the airport. Everyone seemed pretty rinsed from this weekend… Have fun in L.A guys!

All in all it was an incredible weekend, I can’t wait for Bon Voyage to finally drop on iTunes and DVD (28th and 26th of April).

In the meantime you might as well rewatch this.

More Bon Voyage hype!

RVCA | GERMANY TOUR

Last summer most of the American RVCA team met up with the Charles Collet, Didrik Galasso and the rest of the european riders to go skating all around Germany. Here is what they got up to:

It’s a shame this guy wasn’t on that trip, would have been nice to see a bit of footage from him…

Cliché: 15 years edit!

The article is in latest issue (110), and it’s really sick. If you haven’t seen it yet, go and get yourself a copy. As usual, the Cliché Boys came through with a banging edit to go with it. Flo, Charles, special guest Chet Childress and the rest of the gang smash it in Lyon, Barcelona and London. Can’t wait for ”Bon Voyage”!

Speed Of Life

The Cliché team hit Jerusalem and Tel Aviv late last year with Charles Collet, Javier Mendizabal, Flo Mirtain, Jeremie Daclin, Ricardo Fonseca, Boris Proust and Adrien Coillard. A couple of weeks later, we were there with the Vans Europe team and heard about the tricks they’d done at some of the spots we went to. An interesting detail was that one Adrien Boulard had done this and that on the trip. Hang on, Boulard is on the Enjoi flow program? Nono, same dude, likes his smoke, friendly, but not too extroverted…well, here’s the mystery solved. Coillard is the new Boulard, at least in the Middle East. Great times, great spots and great people!
