Minuit Exp. 2

Yoan Taillandier's present for this end-of-the-year's festivities bears the title "MINUIT EXP. 2" and serves as the announcement of a new Minuit website soon to pop up, or so it seems. What we get is four minutes of his trademark, hard-hitting Sony VX-1000 signature style, here focused on some Bordeaux skateboarding of the 2015 vintage, only seeing the light of day just now. Lots o' Glen Fox, some visiting James Coleman, Lui Araki and James Whineray sprinkled through here and there, Olivier Ente repping the O.G.'s alongside Patrick Houngtry and, also, a rather strong Blobys presence.

Talking things James Coleman, let us invite you to take a look at "HOT PLATE", Marshall Nicholson's new video. And you can also follow Minuit on YouTube, here!

Collective Improvisation

We were just bringing it up the other day whilst sharing "N.Y.C. 2019", the newest Strush Wheels edit: "COLLECTIVE IMPROVISATION" is the first full-length video by the brand, which came out in 2008 and had been available exclusively on DVD since. Well as a matter of fact, Japanese skate media platform VHS Mag just put it up on YouTube in the whole glory of its entirety - like a chapter that had been eluding the Western history books for too long a time despite featuring incredible parts from Shinpei Ueno, Lui Araki or Takahiro Morita amongst others, and all filmed between Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo - just like that. A mandatory viewing for sure - at least one of those crucial classes that if you skip it, then you'll for sure fail your tests!

Jap' funk!

At Strush, they know how to pick them "jazzy", but this time up the tempo a notch, and you are in to witness one hell of a jam session! With Master Shinpei as a soloist, nonetheless!

Brack Pree / PREMIERE

Here is, as LIVE exclusive, their memories from what looks like an exotic trip, even for them! Including Lui Araki's point of view, here…

Milano Rages

The new super production from the Milanese Chef Family is the kind of action packed movie, with an overflowing casting. We will let you discover the plot of this film noir, but let's note –so you don't miss it– the exceptional performances of Lui Araki and Leo Valls. Then again, not a surprise at all, coming from those two…

Charles' tip: Lui Araki

"If one wonders how to get out of a nose slide in a legit way, he is the one you must turn to!" He isn't half bad at shove-its either, isn't he? You can find Cityscape, the Strush video via Magenta that just gave Lui a guest board, also.
