It feels weird writing this article on the 5th edition of the RISC (Rouen Indoor Street Contest), because I was actually 10.000 km away during the contest. Weird, not because I don’t know what to say or what happened during this (always) incredible week-end, but simply because I regret not being there. And I sure regret not being able to share all the amazing moments, moments that made this contest so successful and memorable, with my friends for the 5th year in a row.

Created in ’04 to bring the scene together during the winter, and supported by Roll Brothers (R.I.P), the local skate shop, the contest was an instant success. The comp was amazing, people went crazy, parties were memorable (thanks to the cops), Bukette became France’s favorite MC and hotel rooms got destroyed.

Year after year, the crowd went larger, the skating went crazier, and more happy memories were built for everyone. Second edition witnessed a lot of internet drama and the battle “Paris VS France”. Third edition became a battle on the crazy transfer to rail, with Stephane Alfano landing a next level 360 inspin soul to fakie. The fourth edition has seen the reign of Mathias Silhan become unquestionable and recognized by everyone.

Warren Digne: 3 spots (Paris, France) edit.
Edit by Gyom | more edits & photos of Warren.

The last spot is the Peter Kogler : Paris Skatepark (which is actually only a bowl with a nice artwork ^^.)

A beautiful little film directed by Joseph Zentil, featuring skater Dave Lang, and really, NYC itself. A treat for the eyes!

Thanks Al Dolega.

With director Joseph Zentil, this production took a different approach towards capturing rollerblading at its rawest.

Its objective was to depict skating not as another “extreme” sport but as an art; not only physically, but also in its imagery. With a specific vision in mind, the crew felt it was important to stray away from the cliche’s by focusing on the skater as a whole; rather than his association with the industry. Self produced by Dave Lang and Joseph Zentil, they proudly present to you this visual experiment. We greatly appreciate your feedback and your time.

Shot with Kodak 16mm B/W negative film (7222) on the Arriflex BL.

Director: Joseph Zentil.
Starring: Dave Lang.
Cinematography: John Filmore.
Director of Photography and Editing: Dave Lang.
Key Grip Work: Ignacio Lopez and Eduardo Araujo.
Special thanks to: Shields Skate Park

This skate edit was shot and chopped by Aarin Gates. After moving back to Camarillo California from Scottsdale Arizona, where she was very much part of the skate scene, she decided to make an edit of Tyler Hester a close friend/skater. This is the latest installment of AG’s edits, which are always fun to watch.

Tyler Hester is a great skater who is learning new tricks every week and executing them like he’s been doing them for years. He is very much a part of the up and coming scene. Living in Simi Valley Ca, he has had the opportunity to skate many famous southern California skate spots. This experience lead him to place 3rd in a recent Hollywood street comp. He placed next to Demetrious George and Mike Obedoza by landing full cab tru miz/ 3 soul/ 540 kg at the Hollywood High stair rails.
