Entropy - “Une Utopie De Souvenir Nostalgique” (A Nostalgic Memory Utopia) ; with acting from Christian DeGiovanni. Animation & filming by Franck Steve Ngako.

The video leans more towards a sophisticated art piece or musical video than it does a typical skate video, which makes it so intriguing and entertaining. The story follows a group of friends who have grown up skating together and shows their unique bond that has been created through their passion for inline skating. “Une Utopie De Souvenir Nostalgique“ is scored beautifully to the classic Sage Francis track “The Best of Times“. So peep this amazing short film and try your best to fight back the goosebumps in watching this amazing piece of blade cinema.

Today we’re catch up with Franck Steve in Bordeaux. Franck shares with us how he got into inline skating over10 years ago. From that day on, inline skating has become a huge part of his life. For Franck it is like therapy that helps him stay healthy and strong both physically and mentally. Skating is his lifestyle.

Franck loves to support others as they discover inline skating too; especially that moment of standing on inline skates for the first time. It is a moment that most of us will never forget. Whether we are immediately successful or not, it is the exhilaration of trying something new and exciting.

Franck’s current skate inventory consists of three pairs of inline skates. For the street and park he has the all new Blank SK skate. His choice for commuting is the Twister skates. And when he’s running late and needs some extra speed Franck chooses the RB 110 3WD. Hit play and enjoy the skate session with Franck. Article on Rollerblade.com.
