Cliché have just release this short Lucas Puig clip to introduce his new Adidas X Cliché board. Have you seen his Bon Voyage section yet?

The Berrics have just posted Joey Brezinski’s section in Cliché’s Bon Voyage so head over there you haven’t seen it yet. You are in for quite a ride…

Cliché Classics: Lucas Puig and JB Gillet in Freedom Fries.

Rewatching these parts is always a pleasure. I can’t believe they came out almost 10 years ago (2004)… Still some of the best skateboarding out there.

In the Park with Cliché’s Pete Eldridge

I usually try not to post random skatepark edits but any Pete Eldridge footage is always good. If you haven’t seen his stuff in Bon Voyage yet you are missing out.

This part is one of the reasons why I’m 100% backing him:

Bon voyage out on iTunes!

I’m sure most of you are already aware of this but Cliché’s Bon Voyage is out on dvd and iTunes now and Maxime’s stuff in it is absolutely ridiculous. Here’s Nikwen’s shot of his switch ollie at Hotel De Ville, Lyon taken from his interview in issue 112.

When footage like this doesn’t get used for a section you know the standard of skating is going to be insane…

Flo Mirtain in Cliche Skateboards “BON VOYAGE” Countdown – Day 03

A cheeky little frontside flip from Flo.

Inside 113

On the cover of this month’s issue we’ve got Adrien Coillard taking out Geoff Rowley on Lyon’s famous hubba for the second time. Yep, the little guy who casually gap to bluntslid the beast in issue 110 went back for more.

In related “Bon Voyage” news, we covered Brophy, Flo, Joey, Pete Eldridge and Sammy Winter’s trip to China. The article should give you a good idea of the standard of skating we can expect from this new Cliché video. Only 4 days to go!

Since Element Europe are also working on a video (Hold It Down) we decided to send Sam Ashley to Morocco where Karsten, Nassim, Madars and Phil were out on a filming mission. Needless to say they absolutely killed it. With a crew like that what else would you expect?

We even managed to fit in Michi Mackrodt, Kenny Reed and globe trotting photographer Alexey Lapin’s recent trip to the Balkans.

As you can tell from the titles on the cover we’ve also picked the brains of some pretty funny characters this month. I’m sure a lot of you will find the Pearls Of Wisdom with the one and only “Give your life to Christ” Christian Hosoi quite interesting.

Samu Karvonen gets the first interview slot and tells us about organising a skate flea market, why he eats food from dumpsters and what he knows of Quicksilver’s plans for the Euro skate team. The second goes to Element Europe’s Jarne Verbruggen who came through with 16 pages of all terrain savagery. Finally we’ve got an Effect with Tom Day. Those of you who (like me) haven’t seen very much of him before this are in for a shock. This guy destroys some seriously unwelcoming terrain. Can’t wait to see the footage of these tricks in Heroin’s “Video Nasty“.

Now that you know what’s in there, go and get yourself a copy!

Pete Eldridge in Cliche Skateboards “BON VOYAGE” Countdown – Day 05

I reckon people are going to be blown away by this guy’s stuff in the new Cliché video, especially his ender. I’ve been a fan of Pete Eldridge’s flow ever since I saw that ridiculous 9 minute section he had in the Bootleg 3000 video ten years ago. There’s something so sick about how violently he stomps every flatground trick, it’s almost insolent. Give it another viewing if you haven’t watched it in a while, as far as combining power and finesse goes, this is as good as it gets.

You might as well watch his Mystery section while you are at it…

Julien Bénoliel DIY bowl invitational contest, Bud Skateshop’s opening, Cliché, Volcom and Lakai demos, Wu-tang concert and much more

As you can see the flyer is in French but you should be able to just about make out what’s going on.

Marseille hasn’t had a proper skateshop in almost 10 years so to celebrate Bud skateshop’s grand opening the locals have organised a massive event that includes Cliché (24/05) , Volcom (28/05) and Lakai (04/05) demos, Tommy Guerrero (26/04) and Wu-Tang (24/05) concerts and an invitational contest on the ridiculously tight DIY bowl Julien Bénoliel is currently building…

Here are some photos of what the bowl looks like so far.

Marseille is also European capital for culture this year which means that tons of money has been invested into the development of new museum, theatres and art galleries as well as in the redevelopment of run-down areas. This mean stuff to do when you aren’t skating and millions of new spots to hit when you are skating. If you were looking for a place to go on holiday during that period then believe me Marseille is your ideal destination. And I didn’t even mention the weather or the legendary bowl by the beach…
