During the Chileros Tour de Mexico, we were invited to Morelia by Daniel Vallejo. We took the opportunity to visit yet another great city with an amazing skate scene. The day we got there we met most of the crew at an art exhibition and were surprised to see our mate Joe Atkinson was also cruising through the country.

We had a couple of sessions and heard there was a sketchy DIY Bowl up in the hills which was built inside a small unfinished house. Needless to say Joe got super hyped to go and check it out and after a few laps the place transformed into something out of this world. Thank you Daniel, thank you Joe for being amazing people. - Hadrien Bastouil.

When you spend a few months travelling and skating through the country you sometimes have to cave in and join a few sessions at the parks. While you may think skating might define a country’s street culture in the paved avenues of the big cities, the skateparks of Mexico also have a story to tell and are still the place of good times sharing sessions. This one is for all the carnales we met.

Parks in Mexico are really surprising and oftentimes huge and vast dumps of concrete in some cities where only a few practice urban sports which usually adds to their volume. But meeting the crews of each city as we went through allowed us to share some great memories and even skate some hidden gems. For instance in Morelia where we met up with Joe Atkinson and explored a covered up SpaceBowl for a shadowy session out of time.

Be sure to watch the whole Chileros Video not to miss out on professional action since I loved the song to much and added a bunch of footage from Joe Atkinson, Julien Cudot and Stephane Alfano borrowed from other great projects like Foot Moon and Alfamor videos.
