Behind the French Fred Scenes: Eric Koston Part 2

[@Aflictionzs]

Definitely one of my favorite French Fred scenes!

[@KiDoPeHD]

after watching these videos it makes the full part much more amazing

[@oxstorm644]

that nose blunt was so awesome :D

[@peperruti]

Yes, it will never get old. Koston is one of the best of all time hands down!

[@Olysk8er]

Someone, somewhere, is now wondering what Atiba was throwing into the garbage because they've never seen camera film.

[@FredMortagne]

Ah ah ah!!!

[@JmChadillonProduct]

It looks like it could have been 2 bricks of Tmax 3200. That wouldn't have been cheap..

[@viniciusr3]

I'm watching this now, not asking myself what is that, on the same moment I realized it was film, but I tought: Menikmati was filmed with film?! The only guy who can make a videoskate with film is Reynolds, because he only takes a few tries do land the trick

[@Tomcatskates]

2:07 "I didn't know i was going to land it" hahaha i love that

[@MegaAppl3]

That switch backside flip over that rail !!!

[@romeothedope]

Man Eric Koston was a Beast!

[@dickbob8593]

*is

[@fgDAB]

**still is

[@romeothedope]

well yea but i always heard he was wayyy better back then & i never seen skating like this o.O

[@nino210]

absolutely amazing.

[@reddragon042391]

Koston doesn't ride switch, He just rides regular in both directions.

[@BroadLyte]

So true!

[@MC_1993]

I think I heard Koston call P-rod the switch pioneer but ..after seeing this from 10 years ago ,back to when i bought the red menikmati VHS, I think its now safe to say that Koston was the one who took it to another level with switch and nollie. Prods still a beast tho 100%

[@jackhorsley3912]

French Fred has seen and filmed some amazing skateboarders and for that I thank him. Good job Fred

[@KllTCH]

Can't wait to get new Koston 2 shoes tomorrow

[@aggressivelyaverageskate]

god i love koston footage

[@mrfellah]

That bs noseblunt is outta it's time, this is early 2000's. His part and the whole èS film is still fuckin amazing. Koston is a true pioneer.

[@stephenmichael4271]

Atiba fuckin with the films at 2:38 is the real nostalgia

[@marslugo]

this reminds me that koston is amazing!

[@jmendoza328]

That audience style applause after the nose blunt.

[@bwcastillo]

Love Koston wearing a royal shirt, clearly riding his Indy’s

[@yunglekillah]

part 2 is the best

[@YeaX7]

Juste parfait !

[@TheBoche93]

"fred, I fucking hate my job!" hahaha Arto's the truth

[@lucianojezini4429]

The back noseblunt was waaay to fucking gnarly woow hands down for erick koston for back noseblunt 10+ stairs 10 years ago

[@davidmorefield2]

That noseblunt was scary to watch. Favorite trick in his part.

[@chrisnelson7880]

[@skatechatham]

Any idea what that red brick school is called? I'll never get to go there but I'd like to google street view it

[@FredMortagne]

skately.com/library/spots/bricktown

[@lPROWLINXLl]

bricktown lol havent heard that in like 14 years hahahaha

[@krankmaker]

Still best skater alive

[@supernewuser]

Damn, I still have dreams of skating bricktown. Didn't the spot get ruined? I also completely forgot about the back noseblunt nollieheel. It's weird looking back on how crazy some of the tricks from this era were.

[@saxenas]

that's cuz it was koston in his prime. u get the best skater in his prime from a past era and his clips will be way better than most of the current era of skating just cuz he's one of the goats.

[@kornkid11111]

Sick

[@Mast3rson]

1:27 Burnett and his bowl haircut.

[@jakubtryzna1543]

the fuck is that reaction at the end? just clapping? even now people would go insane!!

[@SteelyDanimal]

What is that stuff on the ground on 2:42? Hahaha, just kidding. I'm old, it's 35mm film.

[@br3ishe]

Amen on that noseblunt

[@NewWestFilmsTV]

[@venividdivici0]

back lip

[@yeahhoe208]

Y'all wanna smoke a blunt in the back of the school

[@ericlugo8151]

Fts coment

[@rogeliomarc]

Spoiler: Eric Koston gets angry as f*ck.

[@hfvales]

Footage was sick, but the fish eye (in my opinion) spoils most of the tricks. Not specially talking about this video but every skate video in general. I think it looks way more cooler if you film it from some distance so you can apreciate the rail and the trick. With fish eye everything looks the same. Just my opinion.

[@FredMortagne]

Check this, HYBRIDATION. Experimental skateboard video in b&w that I made some 15 years after what you see in these episodes, no fisheyes!

[@hfvales]

Good stuff man, really liked it.

[@Rufusdos]

Totally agree. Fisheye is very practical for lines filmed by another rider, and sometimes dope for stills, but for video bangers it sucks and is massively over-used.

[@georgemcnaughton8238]

totally agree with the fisheye i never got it or like it back in the day but style is odd like that.

[@lucianojezini4429]

The back noseblunt was waaay to fucking gnarly woow hands down for erick koston for back noseblunt 10+ stairs 10 years ago

[@FredMortagne]

Almost 15 years ago!

[@lucianojezini4429]

Exactly

[@TheBoche93]

"fred, I fucking hate my job!" hahaha Arto's the truth
