Filming Crazy!

French Fred just uploaded Chill skatemag’s masterpiece, “Filming Crazy”. It’s timeless skateboarding and creative editing have made it one of the most influential videos in the history of French skateboarding. It wasn’t online in it’s entirety until today, so if you didn’t get to see it when it was released 8 years ago, now’s your chance! Flo Marfaing and Luy-Pa Sin’s shared part is mental.

For those of you who don’t speak French, here is an English version of the intro.

Timeless: Flo Marfaing

How did this guy not turn pro for Alien? The skate industry sucks. A few years ago he was pro for SEEK, Alien’s sister company, with Dyrdek and Khalis. When the company went bust, for some obscure reason him and Carolino were the only ones not to get picked up by the Workshop. I don’t get it, the guy was so ahead of his time, that nollie crook down the kinked hubba in Paris was at least ten years ago. He still rips too, he just got on a French/Brazilian company called Blaze, and has some stuff at the end of their promo.

Barcelona’s Passengers.

Here is yet another video documenting Barcelona’s skate scene. You may be a bit tired of seeing spots like Macba or Parallel, but let’s face it, it’s inevitable. Barcelona’s scene is as strong as ever and “plaza” skating is a major part of it. Barcelona’s Passengers seems to focus on the scene’s younger generation, offerring refreshing parts from JP Villa (10:40) and Thierry Gormit (13:15). This flick also has two friends sections featuring most of the classic Barca locals, with notable appearances from Luy-Pa Sin and Jonas Skröder. All in all, it’s just a good reminder of how fun that place is…
