12:13am
the language barrier

leo
12:13am
but you got to remember that french is my first langage bro

12:13am
luna means moon, i said you hurt the nights feelings
because you skated so well

leo
12:13am
i mean, im almost fluent now, but there is some slang i don't get yet
actually keep talking to me this way
it's good for me

12:14am
yeah slang is the most difficult and the most fun

leo
12:14am
glad you liked minuit
we need to do a second one now

12:14am
english is so hard because of all the genres and styles of people

leo
12:15am

Aurelien

leo
12:31am
carlos said it's the first skate dvd he buys!
ever!

12:31am
i bet

leo
12:31am
crazy

12:31am
carlos is sick
i woulda bought it too
i wanted to see it so bad

leo
12:31am
it's crazy dude, we got such a good feedback
tightbooth from japan produced it out there

12:31am
probably because you guys did something different

leo
12:31am
1000 copies sold in two weeks

12:32am
nobody wants to see grinding up rails

leo
12:32am
josh stewart sold it all quickly too
haha

12:32am
sick

leo
12:32am
i mean, there is people to do this
skateboarding is cool because it's rich
some people see it as a sport, other see it in an art way, this is cool like this

12:32am
yeah
i agree
spots are gay

leo
12:33am
i respect all of it. I just really like cool skateboarding which makes me crazy because i can't explain why

12:33am
sports
i mean

leo
12:33am

luckly a lot of dudes do it
it leaves some room for us
you know

12:33am

leo
12:33am

leo
12:34am

leo
12:34am
younger
i didn't have a clue dude

12:34am
haha
nobody did

leo
12:34am
i just wanted to skate, even if i fekt stupid hurting myself jumping on shits

12:35am
me too
it was a fun rush as a teen

leo
12:35am
i got a photo of a flip fifty on a rail at 14 years old
!!

12:35am
oh shit

leo
12:35am
ith shorts and an horrible hat
!
then i met guys like soy panday... an classy parisien skaters
they opened my eyes, i thought rails were for rollerbladers
!


12:36am
ha
ha
europe rails are much harder too
so i have an idea for a trick
its ollie body varial switch manual backside 180 out

leo
12:38am
yes
maybe fun

12:38am
ha
ok only i get to film it then
i thought of it

leo
12:39am
you have to try and see it if feels ok

12:39am
i've done manual body varial out

leo
12:39am
i don't want to do tricks which feels bad
yes, i like this one

12:39am
think about it though that would work

leo
12:39am
ok

12:39am
its like 180 manny 180

leo
12:39am
yes

12:40am
ha
this conversation is funny

leo
12:40am
we could film it on a skateparc manual table, going really slow, hd
what do you think?

12:40am
if you are still in LA we can go to a school picnic table

leo
12:40am
yes
only going really slow
and you have to see on the clip that the tricks feels really bad to do

12:40am
obviously

leo
12:41am
like you're almost in pain doing it
painfull

12:41am
we can have our make up crew put sweat on your face

leo
12:41am
yes

12:42am
have you seen the intro to fully flared
it will be like that

leo
12:42am
haha
this intro is insane
what the fuck

12:42am
haha

leo
i thought it was a joke

12:42am
so in this instance
you would say THAT intro is insane

leo
12:43am
when i watched this in my french sofa, with my berret and my baguette, i laugh at americans

12:43am
if you were watching it right now, you would say THIS intro is insane.
a little lesson.

leo
12:43am
ok thanks

so i would have said, i laughed

leo
12:43am
