Here’s a little Trauma X Vntiz clip with two of my favorite Frenchmen: Oscar Candon and Remy Taveira.

I remember going to this spot, seeing the gap and asking one of my friends the classic “do you reckon someone could ollie that?” I came to the conclusion that maybe guys Jeremy Wray or Zach Wallin could maybe just about clear it but it still seemed unlikely. This photo of Oscar from issue 109 blew my mind the first time I saw it… The little Frenchman is on fire!

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!

New trend: Use of 70′s homoerotic clips in skateboarding

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:31:10 +0000

When the Paris edit in the Megamix video came out a few weeks ago, I found the whole homoerotic vibe really funny, but a lot of skateboarders aren’t exactly very open minded, so I didn’t think it was going to be very well received. But I was wrong. Completely wrong in fact. That’ll teach me to have preconceived ideas about my fellow skaters. Why don’t I have faith in them anymore?

Anyway, the only comment I found that wasn’t praising the edit was, “French people are gay!”, and thats not exactly hating on it either, just stating the obvious.

Instead people were expressing their support. Well, kind of: “So gay it made me laugh my fucking ass off.” “COULDNT STOP LAUGHING THEY SHOULD RENAME IT MACHO TAILDROP” and “My Grandpa just came in and said” boy what the fuck are you watching”. GREAT” are just some of the gems I found on Slap or Hellaclips.

The thing is, on top of managing to get the support from skate geeks, the Parisian crew even seem to have started a trend. American Blog Jenkem posted this sick part yesterday. Whoever made this is a genius:

Who knows, maybe Guillaume Périmony is just trying to rally skaters to the gay marriage protests that are kicking off in Paris at the moment.

The bottom of the barrel.

The French title of this clip “Fonds de tiroir” (meaning “the bottom of the barrel”) implies that it’s an offcuts edit. The things is, it’s jam-packed with tons of good footage from all over France and even includes a 3 minute Michi Mackrodt part, so I can’t really tell if the title is a joke or not… Maybe it’s just because some of the footage is a few years old. Anyhow it’s worth a look. Anyhow, the sheer amount of riders Grilladin has managed to fit in there means that you are bound to come across some skating that you’ll be stoked on. It features Remy Taveira and the rest of the Antiz team, Casey Rigney, Flo Mirtain, Oscar Candon, Timothy Deconinck, Joseph Biais and many more.
