Banksy is a British graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Yate, near Bristol and to have been born in 1974 but his identity is unknown.
His artworks are incredible satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.
His street art, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique, is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His art has appeared in cities around the world.
Banksy’s first film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, billed as “the world’s first street art disaster movie”, made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Here is the trailer :
The new project presented by the French production “Garchois Films Production” of Laurent Jamet is a “documentary” ski movie which is called “INVINCIBLES” and which will be presented in première in front of the international freeski scene at the IF3 of Montreal and IF4 of Annecy.
Because of his injury at the beginning of winter, JL and Laurent are setting up sessions shooting for this summer in order to finalize the segment of JL in the movie.
Le 25 Avril direction Val Thorens avec tout le team young gun pour la finale du Just For Fun Tour, contest de slopestyle sur le beau park de Val Thorens composé de quelques rails et d’un enchaînement de 3 grosses tables.
Les trainings finis, l’organisation décide de faire 2 runs de qualifs et un run de finale pour les 10 meilleurs rideurs.
Les qualifs se déroulent plutôt bien pour tous les rideurs du team, seul Alex Breheret tombe sur son Kangourou lors de son 1er run et ne passe donc pas en finale alors que sont run plaqué lui donnait sûrement une place dans le top du contest . Sinon tout le reste du team se qualifie pour la finale.
Place à la finale: tous le monde sort des runs de fous, avec pour preuve le run de Vincent Chenal avec 2 doubles dans son run !!! (Double Under Flip, Cab 900 et Kangourou où il pose une petite main),
Tom Granier avec un run bien tech et style ( Flat 9 mute, Cab double Flat 9 et Rodeo 7)
Résultat, gros hold up pour le team dont 4 riders se classent dans les 5 premiers avec en vainqueur Tom Granier suivi de très très près par Vincent Chenal, puis de Tom Lesuire qui prend la 4eme place et de Max Gisin terminant à la 5eme place.
Le team Young gun nous prouve que cet hiver il a vraiment progressé, et que ces rideurs seront à suivre ces prochaines années…
Bravo les boys!!!!!
Guerlain has sent us a little message to keep us updated about his trip with Adrien Coirier, Xavier Bertoni and Enak Gavaggio.
‘‘Kamchatka at last, but no phone or internet…We’re staying deep in the mountains, an hour and a half away from the nearest town…Apart from that it’s a totally amazing place with crazy mountains, and the snow is coming tomorrow… Otherwise, to pass the time, we go skidooing, but we’ve already broken two… 8 roll-overs for me yesterday and 1 for Xav today… 15 days is gonna be long… ’’
This weekend, some of the CoreUPT.com team set off for Kamchatka, veritable wilderness peninsula on the far side of Russia. Adrien was the first to arrive, with the rest of the team being stuck in France thanks to general European airport closure. But if one volcano was playing up on this side of the world, another was delighting our Adrien on the other. Here are his very first photos of Vuluchinskiy Volcano; a 2000m plus climb, and more than 5 hours of walking…
We can’t wait for the next installement!
To finish the season off, the CoreUPT.com team has once again done a great job, with Team Canada finishing 1st at the 2010 Jon Olson Super Session!
Compatriots Justin Dorey and TJ Schiller made up the team, hyped-up on a good dose of Monster of course! Congrats guys!
