Even with unreal natural talent, Arto put in a lot of brutal hard work for the Menikmati video.

A filming mission for Fully Flared in 2004. Featuring Scott Johnston, Marc Johnson, Brandon Biebel, Cairo Foster, Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Jeff Lenoce, and Kelly Bird.

This beast of a spot has witnessed many battles over the years. French Fred revisits a few of his more memorable sessions.

French Fred takes us back in time to this famous red hubba with appearances from Arto, Rodrigo Tx, Boulala, Rowley, Machnau, Bastien, Appleyard, and many others.  

Two 25 stair spots in the same day? Goddamn! The Lyon ollie remains one of the gnarliest stunts attempted in the history of skateboarding... and he went back for seconds!

Who else made gnarly skating look so damn effortless and smooth? Appleyard (our 2003 SOTY) was in a class of his own. Let's take a trip back to the filming of Flip's Sorry video.

Remember this hammer from our September 2001 cover? Geoff got broke off, suffering just about the worst primo imaginable. But before the pain could set in he gave it another go and the rest is history.

This is one of the best things you'll see all year. Not only are Koston's goofing abilities otherworldly, but they probably help him deal with the pressure of filming major video parts. Let's take a journey to the Menikmati days. We love you Eric!

Menikmati debuted in 2000 and marked the dawn of a new era. Things got gnarly and were being filmed with a quality never seen before. French Fred was behind the lens. Now he's opening up his archives. From Koston's éS years to Rowley's suicidal Flip stunts. Get ready.
