Family Matters II is a video project from Montreal by Guillaume Latrompette. It will be online in october 2011.

Every week we are putting teasers online to introduce the skaters in the video. Here is Daniel Millar who’s actually now working in China doing demos in an amusement park.

Family Matters started of as a video project with a crew of gypsy skaters from Montreal. The video was filmed with a VX2000 Between the months of April and July 2010 and edited in a day or two. Montreal is a multicultural city with all kinds of people, the skaters here all come from different backgrounds working different careers; French baker, architect, stuntman and plain Gypsies. Skating is the one passion that managed to gather all these individuals together and with it grew friendships behond skating. After sessions are always good times, the night life is really exciting and you can always find a group of the skating scene out partying and most times all the original Family Matters crew out together enjoying this amazing city.

After a not in HD DVD and a Canadian tour, in 2011 Family Matters is growing into something bigger than just a bunch of friends filming. This year Family Matters is a big project for the montreal scene. The guys are putting different events together such as a bowl contest at Le Taz, a street contest, BBQ sessions, video premieres just a ton of motivation for the kids. Giving back to skating what they have received from it; a lot of love. To this “Family Matters II” is a bigger more serious project, involving the entire montreal skate scene. This time filmed in HD with more riders, this will be a real representation of Montreal summer 2011.

• Nicky Adams: 2010 Profile by Guillaume Latrompette.

Street & park clips of mister Nicky Adams. We filmed in Montreal & Ottawa last summer in order to offer you this short video edit.

Nicky Adams was in the Salomon Pro team back in the day and he won the X-games in 1999 (first black to win a gold medal).

He had few exposure these last years but he never left rollerblading. He is one of the most professional skater I skated and filmed with. He lace his tricks first try most of the time and always do it with the biggest smile and swag ever.

Stop 1 : Montreal – Sagamok (indian reserve)

We drove 900 km from Montreal to join Sagamok. We found a concrete skatepark in the middle of nice but super drunk and dirty indian kids around 2am.

We hanged out a long time with them. They were so juice to see new people …. and white. They still doon’t understand why you do this long ride just for rollerblading.

We woke up at 8 to skate the park and then go to street spots. The end of the afternoon has been dedicated to relaxing around a little paradise. The canadian landscape are full of good surprise. The next stop is Kenora … 18 hours driving from Sagamok. Let’s hit the road.
