In case you haven’t seen it yet Thrasher have just posted Flo Mirtain insane part from Cliché’s Bon Voyage…

Lucas Puig and Andrew Brophy clip for the new Cliché x Fourstar collaboration boards.

Here’s a sick little edit of Lucas Puig and & Andrew Brophy skating the first samples of the Cliché x Fourstar boards late last year in Japan. That Lucas line with the switch flip nosegrind revert is absolutely ridiculous…

For some reason this thing made me want to rewatch Lucas’ part in KAMH:

Cliché Lucas Puig x Hélas collaboration board out now!

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 31 May 2013 12:19:29 +0000

Cliché and Hélas have just released a limited edition Lucas Puig board that comes free with a beanie.

In related news, last weekend I was in Marseille with some of the Cliché/Hélas boys for a Wu-Tang concert and a few demos so I thought I’d share these edits. Check out Adrien Coillard Boris Proust (the filmer killing it!), Maxime Géronzi, Luy-Pa Sin, Brian Peacock and a few other familiar faces shredding “La Friche”:

Many thanks to Momo and Bud skateshop for taking such good care of us!

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.

The whole Landscape team went on a little trip to Athens earlier this year. Check out this 7 minute edit Sean Lomax put together to see what Joe Gavin, Daniel ‘Snowy’ Kinloch, Joey Pressey, Tyrone O’Hanrahan, Nick Stansfield, Ash Hall, Matlok Bennett-Jones and Jin Shimizu managed to get out there.

Brian Peacock – DC Shoes Thailand Adventure

I’ve been keeping an eye out for Brian Peacock ever since I saw I noticed he was on Hélas and the least i can say is that he’s been absolutely killing it. Nollie cab switch switch back tail bigspin?!! That welcome to DC China clip he had a few months ago was ridiculous…

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.

+18#2mixtape and K.A.M.H remix

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:02:20 +0000

I guess weird abbreviated titles and trippy editing are also quite fashionable in French skateboarding at the moment…

Above is an HD edit by Julien Sola, featuring K-Rod, Romain Jorda, Oscar Candon and more.

Below is a remix of Kurd Are My Heroes for Live skateboard media K.A.M.H is a Toulouse scene video that came out last year featuring Lucas Puig and his friends… Enjoy!

The ultimate skate-traveller.

Japanese website VHS mag posted a full Laurence Keefe part earlier today. It’s good to see a proper section from him, you usually only get so see a few tricks here and there in Patrick Wallner’s videos.
