I Don't Even Have My License Interview

- Nikken

Yo, Flo, what’s up? Are you happy to be back in Lyon after that long trip in Asia?

I am good, chilling. Just got back and I’m getting ready for the French winter. The Asia trip was sick. It was a good way to end up this year, for sure. First time I’ve been to Japan, which has been a dream since I was a little kid. I loved it, but I have to say it was pretty hard to skate there.

Congrats on getting on Habitat. You’re about to release a welcome-to-the-team part. How was filming for that compared to your Tricolor part?

Thanks! Yeah, I am super stoked on it. Habitat has been one of my favorite companies since I started skating. I want to thank them for having my back since Cliché went down, especially Marius Syvanen and Mark Suciu. I know they did a lot for me. I filmed this part with my homie Vincent “Bist” Jugnet over the past year. At first we were just stacking footy—no real plan at the beginning—and at some point Brennan Conroy from Habitat asked me if I was down to release an introduction part. I was stoked and super down to do it, for sure. So it is kind of similar to how the Tricolor part happened. I just filmed this one in Europe and the Tricolor one was filmed in LA. I’m not sure if Franky Villani and I were initially supposed to have parts in Tricolor. We were filming for a team montage that was supposed to be in PJ’s part and I guess we both ended up having enough footy for a part. So both of them happened kind of naturally, which is sick. It’s less pressure in some ways. You´re not worrying about deadlines and stuff.

Is skating in the US a lot different than skating in Europe?
