When you spend a few months travelling and skating through the country you sometimes have to cave in and join a few sessions at the parks. While you may think skating might define a country’s street culture in the paved avenues of the big cities, the skateparks of Mexico also have a story to tell and are still the place of good times sharing sessions. This one is for all the carnales we met.
Parks in Mexico are really surprising and oftentimes huge and vast dumps of concrete in some cities where only a few practice urban sports which usually adds to their volume. But meeting the crews of each city as we went through allowed us to share some great memories and even skate some hidden gems. For instance in Morelia where we met up with Joe Atkinson and explored a covered up SpaceBowl for a shadowy session out of time.
Be sure to watch the whole Chileros Video not to miss out on professional action since I loved the song to much and added a bunch of footage from Joe Atkinson, Julien Cudot and Stephane Alfano borrowed from other great projects like Foot Moon and Alfamor videos.

Stéphane Alfano spent a month traveling and skating throughout Mexico, taking his trademark fearless approach to a wide variety of spots and terrain. Along the way he made new friends and laid down big tricks on a handful of impossible spots, all documented by local videographer Vincent Romain and presented here for our entertainment. Enjoy!

My friend and inspiration Stéphane Alfano built this skatepark in his hometown, city that i know since i was born. Here are some clips we filmed this summer over there. Feel free to contact him if you’re around and want to shred (Var, south of France), be fast, my friend as the weather is unpredictable, i don’t know how long this will last. I had an amazing time there, Merci Stéphane. - Julien Cudot.
