One of our favorite European skate crews …no, wait actually, two of our favorite European skate crews (!) — an amalgamation of Victor Campillo and his Marseille-based manual lords and the Swiss-based OG.2000 collective — came to New York last year. For many of them, it was their first time in the city: ten skaters, one crib with one bathroom, and a month to stack. Classic conundrum.
If you read dispatches from the QS front page, you are no stranger to the fact that we are huge fans of Victor Campillo + his crew of Marseille-based manual lords. Each edit from this squad has a special something that makes every clip feel like it’s the product of a top three all-time session.
A bunch of fashion-forward Frenchmen enter your city and demand to know the location of every manny pad you have.
The result is probably something like Team Horton’s — assuming you live in New York, Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto.
On our final Monday Links round-up of 2023, we mentioned that Fashion Mondaine was the most often [non-Johnny’s Vid] replayed video in the QS office from the past year. It was the first great party vid of 2023, and the first time the phrase “damn, this is a sick Charlie XCX remix” ever crossed my mind, in a skate video or otherwise.
Their latest finds them across the ocean from their native Marseilles, still with peak ~*vibes*~ — effectively a skate video that makes you want to party …after you skate.
