I want to fight you so badly richardPlease give me your address ill make it my life goal to punsh your face in
The tenth in Paris particularly around canal st martin is real nice and spots everywhere and a good park and there’s this lock, so you can get stoned and watch small boats go up and down through the lockLocks are pretty interesting when you’re real bentI would suggest watching the lock with a baguette or crackers with some nice Brie and some cured meat, goes hard
Going to Lyon soon. Anyone have any spot recommendations

There is loads of parks along the Quai's..plus Venice slappy spot also a do not miss. Be sure to hit up Wall St and ABS both killer shops. Wall St has a mini and curbs in the shop. I will write a better list/guide of spots tomorrow.

Man if you have a minute can you tell me where the last spot is. I remember the handrail from Flip Sorry. I always thought it was do able as it looks quite low.
So I’m moving France towards the end of the year, paris to be exact. Any pals live there? If so ; WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND. Kinda worried about the whole moving 10000 miles away from my home to a foreign country thing.

That rail is a fake one by the way, first brought to the spot by the Cliché/Wall Street team I believe who used to place locks on it but that was over twenty years ago. I believe the rail has had three inceptions since with the city removing it and then people placing another one, so I guess don't be surprised if you ever show up and it's not there. There's a recap of the story of the spot somewhere online I believe (A Propos Skate Mag?), most likely in French.Quote from: DCLOVE on January 12, 2022, 11:48:20 PMExpand QuoteSo I’m moving France towards the end of the year, paris to be exact.

[close]I can be your friend from 90 minutes away and holla whenever I get to visit... You'll be alright though. Just avoid making one big mental mountain out of the place like a lot of people do (e.g.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome) and maybe watch your back to a degree comparable to how you'd do it in Barcelona as the typical 'street prey' in Paris really is anyone who looks new to the city, like a foreigner or tourist. Be as street smart as a skater tends to be though and you'll be safe and learn your way around quick.OP: all of Marseille is basically a mishmash of everything you described looking for. Spots and skaters everywhere too. Incredible city and welcoming folks. The accent may or may not leave its mark on you ('eh cong').

@RichardBarkley when do you go to Lyon? I wrote a huge post last night be the site kept crashing on my shite phone. Check that pinned post euro spots also.@DCLOVE I'm in the Alps but hit me up if your ever down this way. Try duo lingo it's free and will get you the basics
Give me a few weeks notice dude, my work sometimes is difficult for me to get time off at the last minute. Normally the weather should be grand in May also.
When you say think of it like Barcelona how do you mean . I’ve always heard it can be a little rough . I’m coming from living in LA for the last decade which can be dicey but never really had any issues . Any way to relate the two?

Any way to relate the two?[close]You sound experienced so you'll be alright - I was mostly pointing that out because it's not exactly uncommon for foreigners to visit France thinking it's a perfectly safe country, and then fall prey to what really are basic street shenanigans to a local, pickpockets most especially (I've even read about such experiences directly on SLAP). In Paris in particular, people are really good at spotting whenever you look clueless even for a split second and will take advantage of just that, and so you shouldn't exactly drop your guard even if the crowd around you looks innocent or is women or kids - because that's a form things can take. Disappearing is also easier than in the U.S. since streets don't exactly follow strict patterns and someone who will rob you probably knows the subtle nooks and crannies of every possible alleyway. But with that in mind, as long as you don't look completely lost in the subway and watch your belongings, you'll be fine. I'm not bringing this up because it's an especially bad issue, just to make sure you're aware that it exists.

Oh okay yeah makes sense. Just be cautious and watch your back essentially. From what I’ve read and what you’re saying I’m figuring I just treat it like how I do when in NYC with subway comparisons and such. Seems easy enough front pocket your shit until you get your bearing and look like you know what you’re doing. Thanks! Hyped on this . Skate spots look cool and I actually watched a couple videos of that boat lock someone was talking about haha, seems like a good time if you got nothing better to do for an afternoon but watch some boats go by .
