I made this edit with all the clips I have saved up over the past year of my friends from Boston, Massachusetts, and a couple from NYC. Some of the clips are around a year old and some are brand new, but all of them are sick. Enjoy!
Featuring (in order of appearance):
Justin Diaz, Brian Long, Kevin Phan, Scott Campbell, Tommy Leong, Ryan Smith, Jason Phan, Ben Price,
Bennett Wilson, Tom Ferrante, Jarrid Diaz, Tim Kelly, Ben Guarino, Ryan Strout, Ben Strout, Taylor Greene & Ian Hutchinson.
Growing up skating in Lyon (France) can be hard, sometimes. I mean, you have to be tough to survive the “School of Foch”, and the harsh comments of masters like Nicolas Bellini or Thomas Pfluger.
It can be really good, too, because it’s a school that taught you that it’s not about the tricks you land, but the way you do them. And also, that even if you are Andrew Reynolds or Miss France, you’re still not good enough to mess with these guys.
Quentin Mandron and Louis Villard survived. Lessons are sometimes learned the hard way. Approaching every obstacle with speed and landing every trick with steeze, the streets of Lyon do now belong to these guys. Quentin even earned himself a spot on the French Razors team, and also skates for Ground Control and 4X4 Wheels. I guess today’s lesson is: don’t mess with Lyon, don’t mess with those guys, and enjoy the edit made for you by Samuel “Bodchoy” Courdent !
