SKATE – ETHIOPIA BY SKATE

Publié le par

L’Ethiopie, berceau de l’humanité, un pays hors-normes situé dans la Corne de l’Afrique, où la méconnue Addis-Abeba culmine à 2400m, soit la 4e capitale la plus haute du monde. Fuyant la rigueur de notre hiver européen, c’est un nouveau dépaysement qui s’est ainsi offert aux skateurs baroudeurs Michael Mackrodt, Oscar Candon et à leur compagnon photographe Kévin Métallier. Equipés de Nokia Lumia 1020 pour documenter leur aventure comme on filme une session et un roadtrip entre potes, produisant à tour de rôle des images, ils sont restés 10 jours à parcourir chaque recoin d’Addis-Abeba pour trouver les meilleurs spots – un challenge qui les mènera près du lac Tana, la source du Nil. Rejoignez-les dans ce périple mémorable et découvrez les images inédites dans cette très attendue vidéo “Ethiopia by skate”.

March 17, 2014 (Lake Forest, Calif.) – Known for its high-impact resistance and durability, the Marana became an instant skate classic. etnies has taken the pivotal components of the original Marana into a new slimmer vulcanized version – the Marana Vulc. Available today at etnies retailers around the world, the Marana Vulc features a rubber printed toe cap and an STI Evolution Foam footbed that is impact resistant and won’t pack out. Willow, Nick Garcia and Julian Davidson took their new signature colorways of the Marana Vulc to Slab City near the Salton Sea and put this shoe’s blend of strength and style to the test. You can watch the footage from their trip here:

It’s hard to believe this bunch of concrete slabs in the California Desert used to be a Marine training facility. Willow, Nick and Julian laid down some blood, sweat and concrete before doing a little training of their own.
