John Cardiel and julian stranger.

That’s what I thought! Damn I wish I had been there for that demo. TNT shredding the vert with no pads would have been sick.

It was def the team trailer. The poor guy driving the van didn’t know he was back there. He was in hospital for a while, and stuck in Melb trying to recover enough to get home. He’d sometimes be out on Brunswick St in his wheelchair. The fact that he can ride a bike at all is a miracle.

Yup the driver a good friend of mine, has had it pretty rough since. Such a shit situation all round. Legal fees, Medical fees. Dont drink and smoke then get out of a van at a set of lights.

anyway, back to him ripping

i stand corrected… and any shots of him at marseilles are always worth re-watching.

and if you look carefully, with a broken board!

Fuk yeah an amazing skatepark.
Shame the yearlly bowl riders comp there had to cease due to the marseille " mafia". Im actually not kidding.
Death threats, violence and large “$$$ payments” were to be made for “permission” to hold the comp. These werent met by quiksilver and other sponsors so no more bowlriders!!
LAME

all hail cardiel!

and i wondered what had happened to the marseilles comp, it always seemed to be very successful and possibly was one of the forerunners of the current wave of transition comps that had my fav riders congregating from all around the world. from what ive heard of marseilles as a town this doesnt overly surprise me though, its location as a primary shipping/entry point has meant that it has long had a ‘organised crime’ element.

That was one of the most stupid videos I have ever watched.

What a crock of shite.

just look at the number of footballers trying to get out of the place…dodgy indeed

i went there had a 2 minute roll around got a weird vibe by “lurkers” at the park and got the fuck out of there.
Shame as its one of the worlds best most smooth bowls!!!
