This summer I went to Paris, this time with Sho aka "SoftPimp" and Yuto. We stayed at Gauthier's house and chilled for 2 weeks living the life of a Parisian. Traveling with "SoftPimp" and getting a chance to see life through his eyes definitely changed my way of thinking a little bit, definitely in a positive way.
While on the trip not only did i get to see all the familiar faces in Paris, but I was lucky enough to meet Alex and the VALO guys on tour (big ups to Alex and lifetime respect to Jon Julio). Never had I imagined 12 years ago when I first started skating that one day I'd skate with Jon Julio the man himself.
Here are some pics from the amazing trip. Enjoy.
Every morning we would go buy Bread aka "Baguette" fresh baked every morning. And on Sundays there were markets on the hills of Moufftard and China town was all over the world.
Paris was a small city with everything so close together, that the whole city was like your neighborhood. I couldn't speak any French but skating helped me blend in there with my Parisian boys. Thanks to Gauthier and everyone who hung out with us.
This skateable monument seen in Clip4 is an artwork done by designer Peter Kogler in 2006.
"with this hollowed out fragment of a globe, peter kogler offers us an inverted vision of the world at the same time as a welcomeing surface devoted to skate-boards and rollerblades."
Pretty neat! The bowl had no bottom so it was like a full pipe.
