Riding Zone is a popular extreme sport channel in France (more than one million sub on Youtube) who has been around since 2007. They produced a really interesting documentary about rollerblading available on Youtube (PLAY) ; the Youtube version is 9 minutes long and the full version is available here (24min), unfortunately behind a paywall (disclaimer: this link is not affiliated).

The documentary features interviews of Stan Kogutyak, Chris Edwards, Toto Ghali, Taig Khris, Wilfried Rossignol and a ton of relevant rollerblading content.

Skating by Nicolas Servy, dancing by Fauve-Evangeline Levitte. Filmed & edited by Nicolas Perrier.

Today we’re catch up with Franck Steve in Bordeaux. Franck shares with us how he got into inline skating over10 years ago. From that day on, inline skating has become a huge part of his life. For Franck it is like therapy that helps him stay healthy and strong both physically and mentally. Skating is his lifestyle.

Franck loves to support others as they discover inline skating too; especially that moment of standing on inline skates for the first time. It is a moment that most of us will never forget. Whether we are immediately successful or not, it is the exhilaration of trying something new and exciting.

Franck’s current skate inventory consists of three pairs of inline skates. For the street and park he has the all new Blank SK skate. His choice for commuting is the Twister skates. And when he’s running late and needs some extra speed Franck chooses the RB 110 3WD. Hit play and enjoy the skate session with Franck. Article on Rollerblade.com.

“With over 1000 people in attendance on april 13, 2003, the second ever Paris Imyta was the largest street contest in the history of rollerblading. Crews from all over the world represented their love for rolling. Coming from as far as Russia, Poland, Finland, Holland, Ireland, Scotland, England, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, the Czech Republic, the USA, and of course, France”.

“In this first edition of the 2003 Imyta Dvd series, you will witness France’s own Mathieu Heinemann dominate the field at La Defense, securing his first heavyweight title in the Imyta series. You’ll also see complete coverage, behind-the-scenes with riders, organizers and secret skate sessions”.

“This is also the first Imyta released entirely by Headcase Productions. We would like to thank everyone around the world who has continued to support the Imyta from the beginning. We couldn’t do it without you all. And watch for our next release, Imyta Los Angeles (and what will surely be an out of control event!). Respectfully”. - Jon Julio, Matt Andrews, Azikiwee Anderson, and Mike Wilson.
