Magenta Skateboards - San Francisco, CA



Fact; Leo Valls and Yoan Taillandier hustle hard. These men are on a mission to give back to a culture that embraced them with open arms; skateboarding. And the above-mentioned humble street soldiers have seen a good portion of the globe, having traveled throughout Western Europe, America’s west coast, and the Far East (that I ‘m aware of), which is remarkably portrayed in Yoan’s ingenious edits. As soon as Yoan and Leo arrived in San Francisco earlier this year they immediately acclimated to San Francisco’s diverse weather patterns, or lack there of, along with SF’s dive bars, jazz venues, and the famous steep streets that skateboarders gawk over. As proud Bordeauxians, this pair of scholarly gentlemen aptly represent for there home town in France and welcome all fellow comrades to come taste there wine and powerslide through their streets.

This is at Shin-Yokohama skatepark, an old stomping ground of my crew's. They've expanded the park and added new ramps. I can't wait to go back...
