Jimmy Cholley is a good dude and this is a good video. So enjoy some of Paris’ most underrated rippers some of which have helped struggling skaters at Nozbone back in the day 🙂

The “Paving Space” sculpture set is made by the French Raphaël Zarka, who also really wanted his pieces to be used with skateboards. Lucky enough there were enough willing skaters coming from Paris to try out the very interesting shapes of the objects standing in BPS22 Charleroi, Belgium.

Last week we celebrated the start of the 10-year anniversary of Nozbone’s Benchmark contest. Starting in Berlin and concluding last Sunday in Paris. And a sun-filled day it was. It felt like spring had hit us again for a day, which turned the day into somewhat of a festival.

With the mood set, let’s get into the skating. It was culminating in some amazing skating by people like John Purcell, Hugo Corbin, Giorgi Armani, Farid Ulrich and Nozbone’s own Marc-A Barbier who, in the end, took home the win.

We think Nike SB, Civilist, Nozbone and À Propos magazine did a great job this year and we hope to be back next year.

Last Saturday marked the start of this year’s Benchmark Contest’s. The 2017 series is special because it is the tenth year that Paris’s Nozbone is organizing this event and thus they chose to partner up with Berlin’s Civilist skate shop and have two contests instead of one.

That meant that the winner of the Berlin event would earn himself some money and a ticket to skate in the Paris event this coming weekend.

The concept for this year was to incorporate Bauhaus as a style element.

You might recognize this man, he built the obstacles.

 

benchmark_03
The course was not only used to skate on, some parkour went down as well.

 

benchmark_04
The crowd was colorful and of all ages.

 

benchmark_05
This guy skated the course the entire time but did not enter the contest!?

A closer look at the result of Kliewer’s build.

 

benchmark_07
To his own surprise, this Georgian wunderkind almost took the top spot.

 

benchmark_08
We would consider this a cryptogramic self portrait of Mr. TPDG himself. Dogs and cameras always a sure thing.

 

benchmark_09
The old in and out with two German legends.

 

benchmark_10
Denny Pham finished third but still managed to please the crowd.

 

benchmark_11
If you look closely you can see Giorgi doing his second place line.

In the end the French took the title back to Paris, Hugo Corbin came out on top!

We are proud to host the probably last skate event for summer 2017. The Benchmark Contest takes their format to Berlin for the very first time and here is all the information you need:

“For its tenth year, the Nozbone Benchmark Contest presented by Nike Skateboarding goes to Berlin on September 16th to meet Civilist before heading back to Paris on the 24th.

Two stages for this international edition which rules remain the same since 2008: doing a line of tricks on benches and the different obstacles built specially for the event, inspired by the artistic style born in the early days of the 20th century in Berlin: the Bauhaus.

Winner of the Berlin contest at ‘Spot der Visionäre’ will share a total prize purse of € 1.500 and will be flown out the OG Paris event.”

Marca Barbier, Hugo Corbin, Giorgi Armani, Sami Harithi & Farid Ulrich are all meeting at the intersection, where it seems that Paris abruptly becomes Berlin.
