Frenchy Fries: Quentin Mandron & Louis Villar
Sunday, March 30th, 2008
Growing up skating in Lyon (France) can be hard, sometimes. I mean, you have to be tough to survive the “School of Foch”, and the harsh comments of masters like Nicolas Bellini or Thomas Pfluger.
It can be really good, too, because it’s a school that taught you that it’s not about the tricks you land, but the way you do them. And also, that even if you are Andrew Reynolds or Miss France, you’re still not good enough to mess with these guys.
Quentin Mandron and Louis Villard survived. Lessons are sometimes learned the hard way. Approaching every obstacle with speed and landing every trick with steeze, the streets of Lyon do now belong to these guys. Quentin even earned himself a spot on the French Razors team, and also skates for Ground Control and 4X4 Wheels. I guess today’s lesson is: don’t mess with Lyon, don’t mess with those guys, and enjoy the edit made for you by Samuel “Bodchoy” Courdent !
(Foch has been featured in the Spot-ed article of issue #8 of One Magazine).
