Horizon Verticale

A few weeks before skateboarding enters the Tokyo Olympics, Edouard Damestoy, 24, a young French champion, is training intensely between Bordeaux, Brazil and California. But beyond the Olympic dream, Edouard especially wishes to share his passion for the Vert' diminutive of Vertical Ramp: two opposite vertical ramps in the shape of a Half-pipe - a unique discipline, but absent from the Olympic Games. Yet it provides extraordinary sensations, including that of flying, and federates around it a benevolent and close-knit community. Alongside legends of the discipline such as Tony Hawk or Christian Hosoi, and the new generation, Edouard goes for it, ready to take all the risks.
