The one and only Terrasse

The Cinquième Terrasse is one of the busiest and most active crews in Paris, even if we had not heard enough news lately. That's a smashing comeback with "TONY G" seven minutes of great skateboarding that goes way too fast for my taste. This video shows well that we are coming to a time when making the unique is worth as much, if not more, than doing the perfect. To skate a city in its own way is like showing the peculiarities that we perceive there and to highlight what we like in it. Paris under the gaze of the Cinquième Terrasse is really unique. They give off a crazy energy that is really personal to them. And when it comes to style, if Christian Hosoi validates it, you can imagine that it's not for nothing.

Feel good movie…

This not a scoop of any kind anymore, but, in 2016, Canada is about (believe it or not!) the coolest country in the world, when it comes to the toughest crowd on this planet: skaters… This quite unbelievable moment of mankind history will most likely be studied, and maybe even explained, at some point, and one of the main scientific artifacts pulled apart then will be this new full-length from a Vancouver skateshop. Sure it has been known for impeccable taste since day one, but here, it mainly has help grow a new generation to the perfect combination of messing around and the skating you really want to see, mostly performed on aggregated gravel, a thing they seem to call sidewalks there… A must-watch, a must-rewatch, and way more!

Le temps des cornichons

Well, the week kicks off about right, with first off, an intro skit of a rare intensity! Then, they skate the way they do it at All Timers, from New York to way more exotic locations such as LA or the Canadian side of the border… That and Andrew Wilson decides to take the pressure flip "seriously"!

Charles' tip: Squad Massage!

"Kid's rap + old cameras = greatness!" You would have seen most of the parts separately on LIVE already, and for a reason, but let's use the release of the project in full to note an interesting historical point: in 2015, one of the coolest things happening now would have shaken the average (and slightly short sighted) skater from the time that one vintage camera came out. Yes, we are talking about Canadians skating to house music. Times, they are a-changin', Charles!

"Tu perds ton sang froid!"

Now, that's going to be a hard title to explain… Hell, just check this out and let's get back to Rick McCrank's skateshop and the new Vancouver generation they are pushing here. Then again those kids are more than alright! Good kids, we say, that we'll sum up with Dustin Henry's fakie no-comply, a trick that is as rare as he is virtually impossible!

The youth

Now talk about some good kid, that Ben Blundell! Clean pop, lines at will and never afraid to go for big once in a while, while keeping impeccable style… Another great part from Canadian full-length Squad Massage!
