Although there isn't that much skating in this new episode, you get a good inside look at The Flip team's crazyness during the early times of the making of the "Sorry" video. In fact when we did that trip at Tom's house in the french country side in 1999, I was still making És 's "Menikmati", and this was my very first trip with the Flip crew, before I officially started to work on "Sorry". At the time I was into filming skateboarding, not so much the lifestyle that came with it. One night when Ali puked out of the van at a gas station, I got some shit from the Flip officials, for not filming it! That made me realized that yes, it was important to film all that shit and crazyness! It was also Bastien's first ever trip with Flip, and at the beginning, it's the first time he ever meets Ali, Arto and Geoff! The mini ramp inside the barn was built by Geoff and Rune, a couple years before that time we went there. If you have questions, feel free to ask. Enjoy this new episode! -Frenchfred-
I love your clips but one question you ever going to run out keep on amazing me each week man
bloodyfrenchfred Who's the younger blonde kid? Only person I can imagine is maybe Andrew Gordon?
Dylan J Oh yeah sorry I forgot to mention, it was Eric Brockman, who got on Flip for just a little bit...
Ah that was going to be my second guess, I just couldn't remember his last name.
bloodyfrenchfred i freaking love seeing what goes on day to day on these trips, you could just upload stuff like this without the skating and i would be fine with that. keep up the amazing work.
The blonde kid is Eric Brockman, the first American on Flip. He was in the Flip industry section in 411 #30.
Giles Correct!
Yeah Im a stunt man
first 411 i ever got
Darren Maxwell McCann
Mine was number 8 and I watched it till it was broken.
I still have it tho.
+Giles what happened with him?
Nostalgia hitting hard
Growing up I never imagined this footage would exist.
Dude, right??
we dont deserve it.
dude, so true.
Bastien destroyed it !! Penny seems to be so happy !!! Great Fred , next time do a 24 hour version !
Early Bastien footage will always amaze me. Never seen a kid with so much finesse and style.
young Kader reminds me a lil bit of a young Bastien
One of the best French Fred episodes yet.
Beautiful moment in time, glad this footage got captured!
This was like all the skate trips we went on back in the days. Those were some of the best moments of my life. Thanks Fred!!!
looks like memories to last a lifetime
THANK YOU FRED. This made my inner child sooooo happy
dirtyxpanda You are welcome, so happy to share all of that!
These episodes are waxing my nostalgia so badly.
PURE GOLD. Thanks again Fred!
That was gold Fred!
The flip video's are awesome.Bastien is a killer! Thanks again fred.
this is amazing footage!! Sorry has always been my favorite skate movie, IMO they had the best most well rounded team from sorry to extremely sorry. Love seeing this footage, its really brings me back
Skatings glory days. Favorite FF vid yet. Love this.
Sorry was one of the best skating videos i ever saw made me want to skate. Seeing this is so cool cause you see parts that were in the video and then all the other stuff you never got to see. It must of been so cool to be there. Bastien is so young and he kills it. And ya tom is never on camera but its cause he just loves life and skateboarding so much he doesnt need to glorify it. But then when u do see his footy it just makes it the sickest. Smoothest style. Nollie 180 with a cig in his hand haha love this
yea hands down these guys were the best team back in the day. apparent now flip isn't as popular?
that smile on his face when he meets the team is gold
This video quality is so good.
I love these French Fred videos so much
I didnt think that video could get greater...
Best team ever in the way to the best video ever.
I'm so glad i watched that.
Bastien is the most talented skateboarder ever period!
Hell yea
+DickOswald haha no way.
+Mike Hunt he's definitely up there. did you see him backside flip off that ramp and then proceed to rifle off switch heel, sw fs heel, then nollie bs heel 1,2,3.He was probably 14 when this was filmed and he's skating with the best skaters in the world and keeping up with them. He said that prior to coming the states the biggest rail he skated was like a 6 stair andwhen he got here he went out with arto and Geoff to like a 13 stair and saw them warming up with lipslides and shit like its no big deal so he made himself boardslide it. then within like 1 maybe 2 years later hes kickfliping into 16 stair handrails at the age of 15-16. Most of his sorry part was filmed when he was only 15 and he's kickflip backtailing beverly rail in a line, big flip fs boards, nollie heel crooks, nollie heel backlip, etc.he could do ridiculous tech shit on ledges and in manuals and also skate 16 stair rails. I know im gunna get "get off the d" I'm just explaining why he's one of the most natural killers
tuodekab
No doubt he is super good and at his age was ahead of his time so no ill spare the D riding comments lol. I just think that compared to others at some point he seems to have never really learned anything new and just keeps doing his bread and butter. So i guess im just speaking progressively. It was painful watching some games of SKATE he was in because he had all his tricks down but anything new he just couldn't do at all.
DickOswald lands everything perfect. I think Nyjah bit his style
good job french fred your filming style it's awesome, the angles are weird and give the tricks a different view, like ledges and stuff, i saw the sorry video thousand times wen i was a kid and was the best video ever..
bastien etait deja bien fort a l'epoque!
you have no idea how much joy this brings me! thank you Fred. will there be a flip San Francisco episode from when Bastien kickflip front boarded that rail? that would be amazing
mojangles28 No sorry, I didn't film that, it was Ewan Bowman... Yes there could be more SOrry archives, I just runned the stuff I shot myself.
I just want to watch this all day! fuck homework
Merci, Fred.
love seeing any ali boulala stuff great footage
This is so awesome. I really want a mini in my living room now and that was the least awesome thing about this video.
I never thought the sorry video could get even better
fkn legends the lot of ya.
boulala stealthy shooting pasty through the trees is all i needed to see. haha
bumpy knuckles The one and only Pasty!
Salbanzi Murders it. That whole flip tour looks like so much fun
Dam bastien was a baby in this video haha he killed it!
Herpa Derp Yeah he was 13!
Arto's a ball-breaker, dudes so funny 6:22 with Bastien
Thanks French for another dope take behind the scenes!!! Props from NZ
dude firecrackers are so much fun lol. when ali was like "I stole the wine" haha
my fav bffs, so funny !
Tom Penny is the illest, I used to emulate his every move,but there can only be one! was fun trying though....rad video..wish Penny would pay another visit to Hawaii
Time is cruel
seeing this video then imagining pj ladd on the team is pretty funny
Fuck yeah Fred and Trasher!
One of the best skate teams ever!
FLIP!!!!! The best team forever!!
Look like good times
The penny footage is godlike
I love shit like this. So fun to watch
I live just beside that mosaic round about, it's the rond point des poissons in Perigueux !
TheCaspey Yes yes it is, Périgueux!!!
so sick
Iconic B roll
I think i remember seeing eric in the volcom freedom wig video too might have had a shared part with caswell berry
7:05 the quality of this scene right here is stellar.
9:37 same day fs flip over fire hydrant.
+10 on this upload, I remember all this goof off footage they used for Sorry
Dis always kind been my dream
Yes
Fuck yeah Périgueux !
It'll be funny if these guy did all these now (shooting bb guns, throwing fireworks), considering how old they are.
Dave G considering Ali is sober now he'd probably not find it as amusing as he used to
where's Tom Penny ?
Loved this one.lots of hijinx.like some Baker type shit
The backside 180 at 1:52 is so sick!!! nobody does bs 180s and there never done right when they do do them.
THANK YOU ALL
Hi fred! Don't you have any pj's footage?
Marlon Ladd No I never ever filmed with PJ!
Good god Fred you must have the best job on the planet!
God that's the lifestyle right there. I would fit right in!
Is that blond kid eric brockman?
I believe so
J´ai l´impression de relire un vieux Freestyler en voyant cette vidéo. Merci pour ces failles spatio-temporelles Fred!
Abdellah Ibrahim Ah ah cool!
How old was Bastien in these clips? I always forget about how hard he rips!!!
*****
14 or 15 I think.
***** He was 13!
is ever gonna be something about shane, i love to see more about him?
Santiago Gonzalez Unfortunately because I never got to film with Shane! I wish I had!
ypur videos are so interesting, last sunday i meet geoff and i remembered all the flip videos, and now this... i hope you have a lot o this material is amazing!!!
Nice flipping and girlz.
Thanks for another gem. (This is me Feeling free to ask). "How do YOU (Fred) feel about the majority of skate media containing hip-hop...I guess a better way to phrase the question would be, "How do you feel about the lack of diverse music in most skate media". For me, skating/watching vid's use to mean getting exposed to new bands or new/different music that would otherwise never make it to my ears if it weren't for skating. I credit finding most of my favorite music through skating, may it be videos, going to see live shows, or just getting put on to something from some random skater by hearing his car stereo as he rolls a j. in the parking lot. This doesn't happen much at all anymore, although I have found some great hip-hop, I'm ready for acid jazz, or juice harp mixed with Hang-drum, or that crazed "throat singing" Eskimo's do. Anything other than re-spewed chopped-n-screwed steez-a-tude from these fashion fresh fool tools. Don't get me wrong, I love all music(including mentioned genre) I just miss the different flavour's. Your thoughts. Also, if the moon was made of cream cheese, would you eat it?
24yearssk8nerd op8surviver Ah ah... Yeah personnally I never used so much hip-hop because it's not so much my cup of tea! Yeah just like you I build up my WHOLE music culture thanks to skateboarding and the videos. Diversity is important for sure.... I always tried to bring new music... which can be challenging, but it's important... stuff like Godspeed You Black Emperor, electro music from Ed Banger Records... important to take risks and try new things.... other wise it's too easy.... But is there too much hip-hop in skate videos? I don't have that feeling... not sure... other than that, no way, I never eat cream cheese... I'm french, and I stay away as much as possible from processed foods! And the moonlight is cool, I would miss it!
I'm starting to think it's a "East Canadian". thing cause 'round here, 90% of the skate population are all "fashion fresh to death", and all about image(really sucks for older skaters) Good call on the moon kanundrum. Processed food is a tool to process puppets, and some of my most memorable skate sessions were guided by moonlight(that's why they call me whiskers). Thanks for taking the much needed risks.I'm very thankful for people like you(much respect) In my opinion, unconventional music gives skating the dynamic(that we naturally feel) To a watcher that may have otherwise felt, Skateboarding = Image hungry teens(far fetched, I know) So gimmie, buckethead, bluegrass, "Throat singing", war drums,etc. One last thing. I've been trying to find other french people with my last name, but not having much luck here in Canada. Do you know any Lafitte's or lafayette's ? (the spelling got murdered in Newfoundland)
How old is Bastien here?
BFFS: Flip Team Visiting Tom Penny
did anyone get any action from the girls?
Tom Penny's style has changed a lot
tionik06
I don´t think so at all.
if i was on a trip and was constantly under the threat of being shot by a bb gun or a firecracker blowing up on my body id be annoyed the entire time
I'm not gonna lie, seeing Ali Boulala on a motorbike made me laught.
What ever happened to the flip am Andrew Gordon?
AsocalRedneck Yeah he was amazing, too bad he disappeared somewhere!
How the hell is this 16 years old when it feels like 3 maybe 4 tops? :/
I wish Tom would speak more : )
check out atro living every cops dream at 3:48
6:47 fucking hit him right on the face, movie status
Ali drunk ass lmao!! Real one
Lost my shit at 3:42 haha
soon baggies, soon you'll be back!
Your time has come
Rad. Who's the blonde kid?
djmon1987 It's Eric Brockman...
bloodyfrenchfred Is that the kid who 50-50s that curved rail and gets smoked in the face by a chain or something in Transworld Feedback and was all fuked up?
that salabanzi
What was that guy's deal with Rowley's switch ollie? He didn't seem like security, a nosy passerby?
Drube2 Just a drunk german lost in France!
Frenchfred Thank you for the response Fred! And thank you for posting all of this old footage! I loved Sorry and Tom Penny is one of my favorite skaters ever! The BFFS was such a great series! Thanks for the hype!!!! I greatly appreciate it!

These trips look like absolute hell. No wonder skating has serious problems with mental health.
PASTY.
Mini Bastien qui détruit Créteil, ça rajeunit pas...

Back when skateboarders didn't try to dress look alike
A sk8 video without any sk8boarding,sucks...)
First?
Of course barely any Tom Penny footage. Just like old times. That was easily the worst BFFS yet, most of it was lame. I hate saying that cause I love watching BFFS.
Joe Benike
Excuse me Joe, but could you please shut the fuck up? :)
Joe Benike I guess you didn't grow up in this era....
Dylan J No grew up just b4 it but that doesnt matter, Flip has always been one of my favorite teams and Tom Penny is one of my all time favorites so I got super excited to watch this only to be let down by watching antics.
