HUF welcome Stephan Pöhlmann
The HUF team has expanded its wings this weekend with the addition of German skater Stephan Pöhlmann on the team. Welcome footage here.
That tight, little Marseille pool gets its first jam courtesy of Julien Benoliel, Pierre Hoarau, Fernando Bramsmark, Guillaume Mocquin, Jarne Verbruggen, Romain Covolan, Karsten Kleppan and the UK’s Jake Collins. Some amazing skating went down for this new edit from La Friche.
A week of waiting is now over at Alain Goikoetxea rips the Basque Country and beyond to shreds in this full part for the stone. This part is gnar filled and not to be sniffed at, so press play for annihilation in Algorta and much more for Skate Edit of the Week.
