BRIGANTE PROJECT

This summer many riders from Paris had some fun dh sessions in Dampleux, not so far from the french capital. The spot is fast and narrow, running through a wood, and a rider was closing the road at the end of the spot just the time of each run. We had then a full track, could take the best lines and learn how to skate in packet groups. Here's an edit of the 14th july ... ... and a raw run of the same day You can also check some edits from the same spot on the Supaphonik channel

Here how my Comet Ethos 40 looks like after I chopped off the nose and part of the kick tail. The nose had some bad cracks and the tail was wrapping and I realized it was not necessary on a deck I use for dh. I also drilled some new holes on the back truck to have a longer wheelbase. I actually ride a symmetrical setup with randal 180mm 42° and divine barrel bushings 90a. increasing the wb by about 2cm handmade wheelwells lighter and easier to carry! Here's some footage on my local hill

Last weekend I was asked to take some pictures at the Outdoor Mix Festival , for the UD magazine . The following pictures just show some landscapes we rode through during the trip; you can find some action pictures here and here

  Last summer my brother and I had a trip around Slovakia and Czech Republic, skating, meeting people and finally got to Kozakov to watch the IGSA race. I hope it's not too late to show you some footage... Here's the first episode,filmed in Nitra, Slovakia. 6am, Wein after 17 hours of bus a nice spot on the hills of Nitra Bruko Boards and La Ola gave us two nice decks for the trip, check out their sites.

During the winter holidays we had some warm, sunny day in Italy, so my brother and I took the chance and rode some hill. Here's a raw run, with a small bonus on how I lost a wheel!

Rain and cold weather... Wintertime sucks for longboarding so looking back to this summer I really miss my home. Here's a run I had somewhere in the centre of italy, late August. Thanks to my brother for waking me up early and taking me up the hill.
