Copenhagen (Denmark), with its unique vibe, incredible skate spots, and iconic rails, provided the perfect location. Julien Cudot and Jonas Hansson managed to capture something truly special. We’re beyond proud of what they accomplished together. - Cougar Skates.

USD team riders: Eugen Enin once again met up with Carlos Bernal & Michael Muller, but this time in Copenhagen, Denmark. 1 week of street skating, visiting this year’s Copenhagen B-Roll event & also “tipping” toes into the water. Everyone the time together and had a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Cougar Skates Company officially welcome Julien Cudot as the first member of the team. Since 1995, Cougar Skates has been at the forefront of the skate manufacturing industry, primarily producing for other brands.

This year, we’ve taken an exciting step forward, teaming up with top designers and skaters to create a new and exciting range of skates. Our focus is on the New Generation of skaters, and we aim to inspire more people to experience the joy of skating. We believe with the right team this is possible so we couldn’t be more thrilled to have Julien on our side.

Originating from Paris, France, Julien Cudot has been skating for over two decades. Turning pro at just 13 years old after winning the Amateur World Championship in Dallas, Texas, at the renowned, Arlo Eisenberg Skatepark, Julien’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Since then, Julien ventured into street skating, winning many of the top park competitions and competing against the best skaters of all time. Despite facing ups and downs, he has persisted, continually striving to achieve personal goals and dreams while pushing boundaries day by day.

We believe that Julien is the perfect fit for our brand. Not only is he an amazing skater, but he also embodies the right attitude and persistence to inspire and motivate others. We are looking forward to this new chapter with Julien and hope that together we can make a positive impact on the skating scene.

Eugen and Danny Enin always wanted to visit Copenhagen again and thought it might be a good idea to use that opportunity to film his Pro Skate Promo there. 8 days of full street madness later they created a high end super tech piece.

Promo Speech: “Using Shadows is actually like coming full circle for my skating since Xsjado was such a huge part of my Childhood. They were the first skates I started to skate Street in, I did my first handrail in them, I learned all the tech-dance switch-ups that I’m now known for - it all started with Xsjado skates. And now all these years later I can use them from a totally different perspective and do moves I would have never imagined back then. It feels nostalgic and refreshing at the same time to be back on my USD Shadows. This Model features several major updates like the riveted Velcro on the cuff and liner which when combined with the re-released heel shock absorbers creates a perfect fitting foot position and eliminates heel lift. The walkable eclipse liner features the new super comfy PU-cast tongue and a very durable and stretchable ripstop black mesh as the upper material. This new model designed for my pro skate has got a newly shaped ankle flap that connects to the toe strap, creating a tighter and more stable fit. We included some additional flex line stitching to ensure flexibility for that area and my name is printed from top to bottom on it. The top strap is made out of a polyester seat belt webbing which is super durable and has EE.3 embossed on it. I chose the Shadow 1.0 cuff because I prefer its stability. The skate comes with KIZER Fluid V Frames and 60mm 88a USD UHR Wheels. So all in all some major updates to the previous USD Shadow models. For the second edition of my Shadow Pro Skates, I chose a more iconic and traditional Xsjado inspired colorway with some dark greenish and orange details.” - Text by Eugen Enin.
