Pool Skating's Finnish Roots

On this week's 99% Invisible Podcast traces pool skating's roots past Southern California to its' true origin. This episode is presented in three parts. The first is your typical skateboard history lesson complete with Stacy Peralta and a cringy Jake Phelps. I understand that Phelps is the perfect skater stereotype character but I hate that he gets to be the spokesperson for skateboarding. Things get interesting in part two when producer Avery Trufleman seeks out and swims in the original Southern California kidney pool. Finally in part three Element Europe pro and architect Janne Saario makes an appearance as we learn about the alleged inspiration for that Southern California pool. This episode is a nice break from The Bunt and The Nine Club for all the skate pod people out there. I did want to correct one thing, Truffleman says "Thrasher is a skateboard magazine that skaters call The Bible". Thrasher calls themselves "The Bible" skaters just call it Thrasher.

CHURB

Trendy skating from Bordeaux. CHURB is the latest offering from filmer Romain Batard featuring: Axel Thomas, Hugo Brillet, Armand Vaucher, Julian Thomas, Valentin Pasquet, Tom Poisson, and Ando Andony.

2017 Sosh Highlight

Competition is a good excuse to get people together and motivate them to do their best. Sosh Highlight is a contest requiring riders and filmers to make a video with just a smartphone. Creativity and the streets are key. Nassim Guammaz took top honors for getting buck and having a clean edit. You can see all the edits here along with some photos and more info in French. I recommend Victor Pellegrin's 3rd place entry which is probably funny if you know French but you can kinda catch on to it through the visuals. Oscar Candon took 4th with some solid skating and some really well thought out editing and effects. Coming in 6th was Chris Pfanner whose skating is undeniable but the final product lacked the polish of some fo the others. Igor Fardin's 7th place video is an excellent comment on trends and an impressive feat of skating, doing the same tricks twice.
