Volcom, in addition to trying and get you to trump quarantine via the viewing of the near entirety of the catalogue of their productions with Veeco (for the most curious), recently gathered its roster aka. Simon Bannerot, C.J. Collins, Dustin Dollin, Victor Pellegrin, Eniz Fazliov, Jorge Simoes, Harry Lintell and Noah Mahieu in Paris for some skate tourism; an occasion to witness some new lines at classic spots, but also some ballsy maneuvers at more obscure ones.
The Grey Area Polish homies are back, still with O.G. Kuba Kaczmarczyk (interviewed here, in company of recent Danny Fuenzalida footage) at the wheel, driving in an audiovisual style that seemingly gets more refined with every new output. In addition to the local cities of Warsaw and Kraków, and of a chunk of Ukraine, the filmmaker's territory now also expands to Croatia where he notably connected with Tom Remillard at various editions of the Vladimir Film Festival; so of course, Tom has a full part (or two) in this new production, alongside the notorious Kraków Kids (interviewed here) Kuba Brniak, Michal Zarzycki and Franek Kramarczyk, but also Eniz Fazliov, Michal Juras, Didrik Galasso or Chilian talent Juan Jose Moraga. The spots are crazy, the tricks are quality, the rain is universal: a solid bite into some healthy, savory grey fruit, as usual.

So, sure, everybody about town is (and should be!!!) talking about that completely insane frontside bluntslide by Eniz (which hero status is now cemented , even to the most obtuse ones), but one should not forget the fact the now absolute coolness in whish Monsieur Lopez now crushes about everything in front of him, from ledges to weird bank to walls… With a Converse video in the works, one can only rejoice!
Here is a trip to the land of gigantic ditches, quite the unusual terrain for the European chapter of Volcom. Netherless, do they rip it! Then again, that crew is quite on point… Let's note that Aaron Suski does a bit more than showing them spots, and he is always a pleasure to watch skate!
Everybody loves underwear, and everybody loves a smiling house… So, when Lousy Livin' decided to share this best-of with us, we were delighted! Seeing the casting, you shouldn't be alright, yourselves… That's the great thing about handing a pair of boxers to the traveling skaters in need: then, everybody rides for you, as soon as you throw a little house their way!
Eniz' absolute composure when he rips a post off the ground to end a line, and the fact that he seemed more concerned about fixing it right way than anything else, might be as admirable as his talent on a board…
