Last summer a few of the French Converse riders went on a little skate holiday to Bordeaux and the basque country, here’s an edit of their trip. It’s mainly footage of them and their mates cruising around but the session at Bordeaux’s undercover DIY spot is pretty sick. That kickflip on flat Paul Grund does is incredible, I’d love to see a full section from him. Lets hope him and K-Rod are racking up footage for a Polar promo or something…

Here is the latest Blobys offcuts edit. If you don’t know about the Blobys yet then you’ve got some serious catching up to do. This little gang has been terrorising the streets of Paris for the last 5 years and quite a few of them are starting to get noticed. The one we hear the most often about is obviously Polar‘s Kevin Rodrigues, but everyone one else in the crew rips. They all have very distinctive styles, a good eye for spots and unlike a lot of people these days, they like keeping their edits simple. Rewatch some K-Rod‘s footage or check out Roman Gonzales’ section to see what I mean.

Last Summer part of the French converse team spent some time in Philly with Chris Mulhern, here’s what they managed to film. Most you already know how sick Remy Taveira and K-Rod are, but names like Roman Gonzalez or Vincent Touzery might be new to you. If so, the parts below should give you a better idea of why Converse picked up these underground rippers.
