Successive generations of Montpellierans have passed on the torch to keep this contest alive.

This year again the OGs where still here (you may have been introduced to Alban, Salamech, Namo, Bastien for a few years now) skating along some younger kids newer to the streets; I guess it’s quite a good sign for a bright future […].
