There was a time when rollerblading was so popular in France that some events were broadcast live on prime-time television.

Many young skaters have not had the chance to know this wonderful time. But fortunately for them, some had the foresight to record this event, and thanks to the technology of the 21st century, I am honored to share with you this small part of our history, because it is important to know from where you come from. Enjoy.

Taig Khris is showing us some hightlights of his career (first video) and then presents us his 40m Eiffel Tower drop (second video). The current world record for a drop is kept by the skateboarder Danny Way. Both Videos are in french.

As announced on this post, Taig Khris will drop from the Eiffel Tower on May 28-29-30 2010. This is a 40m drop from the first floor, Taig will then land on a 25m high quarter pipe.

M6, a french TV Channel is sponsoring the event. You can check the official website at m6mobilemegajump.fr. There is a video section showing the preparations of the jump (french language).

Update:

I’m sure sure everyone saw the green “thingie” at the end of the quarter.That green stuff is a giant airbag ; there are not enough space to do it another way. When landing on the Quarter Pipe, Taig will be at 70 km/h to finally reach 100km/h and then crash on the airbag (1 kilometer (km) = 0.6 mile).

Taig Khris, in association with Rollerblade is featured on Golden Grahams Cereal Boxes in France (check the picture below). Rollerblade made a contest and is offering 50 pairs of skates.
