Hugo Maillard’s part in the new Anagram video

Anagram Skateboards is a little company from the south of France. You may not have heard of them but they are legit and doing it for the right reasons. Their first full length video is called “Crazy Extreme Skate”. As you can guess from the title, these guys aren’t exactly taking themselves seriously. Here’s Hugo Maillard’s section. Keep and eye out for the other parts, I’m sure they will be floating about soon. I look forward to seeing Romain Jorda’s and J-P Trioulier’s.

Fully Mega – The Megamix Video

With sick videos dropping left and right while everyone’s sitting under the Christmas tree getting stuffed, the Megamix Video from France, orchastrated by the Chill (RIP) dudes, is a definite stand-out. The by far best energy drink fueled production to date is featuring all of France’s movers and shakers, bitching skating and some badass editing steez. And – of course – a bilboquet! Massive props to everyone involved. Quality!

Burn SOS: Sibiu, Romania

Jan — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:50:47 +0000

The team of Vision ramps, select Burn riders Jean-Marc Soulet and Rasmus Sand and a few Kingpin types spent the last week over in scorching hot Romania, the lovely city of Sibiu to be more exact, where the Burn SOS program had its final stop. The aim was to save the city’s dying skate park which was rotting away, desintegrating. Still, in Sibiu’s case this place of metal and fiberglas structures falling into its single parts was the only spot for locals to meet and do their thing.

Shit had to be done, shit got done!

In higher 30′s temperatures the boys stepped in and gave all they had, and the locals in turn got excited and joined in where they could. In the end I think it is not exaggerating to say skateboarding in Sibiu can now look ahead into a brighter future. Some of it we could witness in Saturday’s final event, a comp with busloads of skaters coming in from all over the country to shred, bringing all the scene together – not a regular thing to happen here. Everyone was super hyped and of course the kids killed it.

Thanks to everyone involved, Old School Shop and all the animals that gave their lives for our daily plates of mixed meat.
