Ambassador Abroad: France, Part 1 - Downhill / Freeride
At long last, here is the video from my 4 months studying abroad in France. This video focuses on the downhill/speedboarding and freeride side of riding. It took a huge amount of time to edit, but I’m stoked on the final product. I’d love if you gave it a look and shared it around! France is a beautiful place :)
Enjoy,
Mike

Figured this would be a good stoke-worthy video to bring in the new year.
In 2012 I resolve to: Step up my skate game. Rad riding from these fellas.

Roll call SON! If you haven’t noticed yet, Bay Sessions has been killing it with style and grace, they’re coming to your local spot to blow your mind and serve your mom up fresh! Josh Vader Torres threw together this colab video of 2011’s radness and it truly makes one proud to be from the bay area (and proud to know Gabe with that SWEET cut-off)… Sit back, enjoy, and prepare for future domination from the bay sessions crew!

Video still. Beaufort, Savoie, French ALps.
Loic, myself and Monsieur Piton. Editing, editing, editing… This is definitely my biggest video project thus far. I also can’t find any footage from my first couple months abroad… hoping it’s not trapped on my crashed computer.
EDIT: Scoured my external and internal HDs… missing footy is definitely trapped on the dead computer’s hard drive -_- Looks like I have a good reason to finally get my files back. The display is fried but the hard drive is apparently fine.

French Downhill. Politik Freeride - Chuyer, France.
This is a video from the freeride event near Lyon that I went to, and have posted a bunch of pictures from. Sooo much fun. I’m in the black&blue helmet and red/white/purplish Segura leathers & blue Loaded freeride gloves, riding my Earthwing “Belly Model” on Paris 195s and 80a 4prez. First appearance at 0:49 giving a bump draft (then at 0:57 gettin some little wobs, haha). I miss this! Much love to the French homies who put on such a great event.
