Skateshop Balargue from the suburbs of Paris picked this December, twenty-fourth to glorify the tenth letter in the alphabet: "J" (pronounced "G" in French), their newest offering, is no less than a full-length video mostly filmed and edited by local, Thomas Courteille. The resulting twenty minutes are packed with youthful energy, and spots most Parisian skaters themselves tend to ignore; the homies vibe is ever-so-present, Juan Renoux, Lucas Langasco, Hadrien Haverland or Alix Malnati are in, Tao unleashes the noseslide big spin at some unknown spot in the same classic style as ever - all magnified by a pristine presentation which - maybe - only takes one sole risk: the commendable one of honesty.

If Josh Pall's name isn't without ringing a bell to you, it's probably not because you're associating it with the latest social media 'story' of that one guy puking his guts out on the streets last night, nor because you can still recite the entirety of the contents of his latest box from his jeans sponsor that he just opened in front of a crowd of Snapchat strangers. In fact Josh is more of the discreet type, who might as well just show up unexpected and tear a spot apart - a skate tendency exemplified in the (quality) Pass~Port video offerings.

Indeed, Josh skates fast - too fast for one to scrutinize over his haircut in a clip - and that's regardless of how rugged said spot it, as he'll still come up with a quirky utilization for it, and charge towards it via more pushes than most. Keeping skateboarding impeccable!

As a continuation from yesterday's video post comprising the clip celebrating an immiment Carhartt x Pass~Port collection, here's some words we got to exchange with Josh, just in time for its launch in Paris, tomorrow.

It was only a matter of time before a brand such as HySkateBag rose from the willpower of a Bordeaux skate crew somehow really interested in providing the world with quality, Paris-made skate pouches yes, but not just that: their new video "PAR_HY", by Julien Dellion, just premiered in the French capital and now, LIVE Skateboard Media is presenting it to you alongside a quick interview with co-founder Paul Austin.
