Patrick Switzer, Louis Pilloni with the camera, James Kelly and I didn’t catch the other ones... I actually used to ride often with them in Europe and in North America... They are fast and tough to keep up with, let alone beat lol

It’s kinda like finding out you’re an ex-Hells Angels or Rockport City Blacklist member, but much cooler and cleaner than either.
I am really, genuinely interested in your stories during your time in extreme sports. Please tell a story, Uncle Flavien.

Haha, nothing much to say really... But I’ve been downhill skateboarding since 2002 or so, whick makes me one of the OG in the sports lol.
I pretty much more or less know or used to ride with all the best in the sport, saw them getting into it and ended being the one with a hard time to keep up :)
But yes, I know the guy filming this run fairly well, when I stay in LA to pick up cars to ship back to Japan, I crash at the home of the very best downhill skateboarder on this planet, Kevin Reimer. When I first met him, he barely could stop haha. I used to race around the world, without much success to be honest but always enjoying it tremendously :)
Never skated Bathurst though, which is something I regret quite a bit...
Some old stuff with me in it...

I even managed to literally teach the very first downhill skateboarders in Japan how to skate!! :D
That was back in 2009 lol

If I had been able to draw better and known you a bit earlier, I’d have made a good light graphic novel about this. Ripper stuff.

I’ve seen it on TV, and driven it in Forza, but nothing shows you how steep that section is like seeing how much speed you can get there with gravity power alone.

It seems you’re basically the real life version of this guy
