amazing, he probably did all the tricks for 1 or 2 days. SIck lines too

[sharkyROL]

:shock:

[T!M]

unreal, full ao topsoul full ao topsoul was so laced.

[George Amos]

Ahhh, that kid is so fucking good.

What song was that? Sounded like some new Crystal Castles or something.

[Monday]

Is he French?

[Freddy White]

Now I'd like to see you guys talking shit about that stomp at the end...

[Quark]

That was fucking ridiculous.

[Scott_Nairn]

Wow. That was pretty fucking incredible.




I mean, if you can do all that, and do natural AND switch true fishbrains... why wouldn't you grab them?

[abbernaffy]

Nobody else has the right to skate anymore. Every single person has to hang up their skate RIGHT NOW! One question though, AM? Really?

[George Amos]

unreal, full ao topsoul full ao topsoul was so laced.

As was true top porn inspin topsoul. So much control.

[gygy322]

i'm watching it for 3rd time right now, i can't believe how clean that 360 ao top soul to 360 ai top was.

[Quark]

Watched it for the second time now, paying attention to his switch game. Madness.

[jomu]

his control on the skates is awe inspiring. he is so smooth which just makes him look real stylish.

[marshun]

RIDICULOUS MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome

[gygy322]

somebody has to tell Julen about that trendy illusion spins so he can proove the world that they are not as hard as they look haha, switch and natural

[LaGuigne]

Pfff Spin to win again

[abbernaffy]

Who cares if its spin to win. Lets just never spin on our skates. Lets just jump straight on to grinds! Because that's clearly more interesting eh?

Nobody can crit spin to win tricks until they can either say they have done one themselves and they are easy or that they look bad! And neither of those points will happen!!!

Spin to win will continue to get bigger until it turns into spin and flip to win!

[Espen]

Something about his face makes me want to punch him, but man that guy is ridiculously (word? sp?) good :shock: Some of those tricks were unreal!

[Kent]

Incredible grindig skills. Probably one of the best Ive seen.

Style is stilll not my cup of tea, and wish he did more than just grinderblading. Being able to spin so well both ways could be really interesting if he skated more creatively.

But I also see that DAT park is made for grinding. Would still add some flavour to see something else

true savannah inspin topacid back savannah was insane. And of course fullcab AO topsoul fullcab AO topsoul and the fakie 5 topsouls :twisted:

[LaGuigne]

Lets just never spin on our skates.

That's already what I do.

[madpolish]

Why doesn't he ever skate street? Every edit online of him, with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 from a long time ago, is just indoor park...I mean, that's cool...tricks are hard, but some variety would be cool.

[zale]

That was unbelievably sick.

[fast eddie]

I was about to post the same thing :lol: Mark, you'd kill him in a street comp.

This edit was one of the few street edits of him I've found It's not bad, but it's 2 years old:

http://vimeo.com/5216013

[Harry Maynard]

He's not as bad as everyone makes out. It's obviously not my cup of tea, but he is too good at what he does.

[nameant]

Style is way better w/o a helmet on. That was ridiculous, I only ask that you grab your tricks.

[codywi608]

somebody has to tell Julen about that trendy illusion spins so he can proove the world that they are not as hard as they look haha, switch and natural have you ever tried one?...They are pretty damn hard to pull off.

[greg is cool]

thats just what i needed after wasting 3 minutes watching that rian fixie edit.

[chrisbreezyyy]

insane. tta revert kindgrind stepback(?) top acid was sickkk

[denialchild45]

Julien is an amazing skater. Some of those tricks were just unreal. And his switch game is just ridiculous. I do wish we saw more street skating from him

[nai]

BRAVO sir. That was incredible, he cleaned his shit up. Guess the hatred fueled him, nice control, skated from his hips, rolled away from tricks with speed. Incredible, can not wait to see what the future holds for this kid.

[CK]

Incredible, dude kills!

[jonathan]

have you ever tried one?...They are pretty damn hard to pull off.

They wont be hard for someone like julien to do. That's what he was going for. If Cudot started doing illusions, he would shit on everyone doing them.

I've hated hard on him in the past, but this edit finally tells me he's grown into his own skating. He is the future. He will be the world champion for years to come.

and I welcome that.

Rate of progression is insane, next Broskow etc for sure.

[Makio]

I think it was the skates

[Nick Tary]

chuckers gonna chuck

[blake kelly]

i have never been a fan of his but i actually liked that. all i ask is that he grabs those true fishes then he would be golden!

[jonathan]

i have never been a fan of his but i actually liked that. all i ask is that he grabs those true fishes then he would be golden!

No one hated on chris farmer or alex broskow when they didn't grab their tru fishes to switch ups.

[ift]

i have never been a fan of his but i actually liked that. all i ask is that he grabs those true fishes then he would be golden!

Did you start grabbing your 1 footies? ;)

[Grindguru]

chuckers gonna chuck

U mad, not a SINGLE chucking trick in that edit, ultimate control

[bobgross]

Tricks were insane, he still doesn't have a distinct style, but at least most of it was super clean.
It's just weird how he does the tricks perfectly but doesn't seem to take ownership of them, if that makes sense. He just does the tricks.

[cali4niaisdead]

anyone who hates on that kid is just jelly





























so much steez

my video was loading and it stopped there too. I lold.

[JonFromm]

Absolutely Incredible! Some of those my jaw just dropped. Cab ao topsole to cab ao topsole was perfect, and that ttp soul to tru porn made me wow!!

That park also looks incredible...Thats just a free park in France?? Jeeze, pretty much all our parks in Florida aren't even as good..

[Makio]

That park is so sick. I don't care if that were the only park format there ever was, I'd die happy

[gen2roller]

park is incredible

[Blade Psycho]

Nope, makes no sense at all.

Nope, makes no sense at all.

[bobgross]

Nope, makes no sense at all.

He just does every trick like it's just another trick. He seems to not sink into anything, the moment he locks something he just holds it. His tricks are amazing but he doesn't do anything extra on top of them, no tweaked grabs or oddly placed weight on tricks (like some people do souls with all the weight on the soul foot and the other foot practically rocketed out), he's just perfectly standard about everything. Some people put so much effort into looking steezy that it's unnatural, he seems to put no effort into it at all. He just needs to own his tricks (add a little something extra) to make his blading would be even more awesome.

[ev13wt]

This kid has so much style.

Except the pants. (pants)

He is the future, he is already bored of this stuff he is showing. I wonder where he will progress too?!!

[Harry Maynard]

Style lasts forever. You can't be a legend without style.

[George Amos]

The kid is so young...

That Crystal Castles track, was one of the earliest ones they released. So props to Adrien Anne, for song selection. Still though.

Flip to grind on curbs?

[rollerblazed]

so he's only am?

[crizzle]

No one can deny his skill

[((AnDrEw))]

Amazing. Fucking amazing

[randy lahey]

i'm surprised there's so much love for this, everything was difficult but to me it was kind of boring. it probably won't be long before he starts embarrassing people by doing these and more thoughtful tricks on interesting obstacles though

[Black Fabric]

now its time to take it to the streets.


falling at the park don't hurt.

[gygy322]

last time i checked he was doing 450 front savannah on a street drop rail so i think that when he decides to skate street he wouldn't have any problems....Soon...

[carterfromseattle]

I cant believe people are so quick to criticize about style when everything he did in that edit clearly appeared effortless and the trick vocab/difficulty was out of this fucking world. shit was niiice

[anton_mr]

This is what's wrong with modern rollerblader mentality. To fully accept someone's blading you think he must be a unique character with an artsy approach to blading.
People have different approaches to skating, and not all of them want to be that "unique character" who wears vest and doesn't afraid of anything. Deal with it, that is not the reason to disrespect their blading. Let everyone take blading in whatever direction they want, diversity is good.

+ rep x 100000

[Flandangle]

The tricks in that edit were.... MEGA RIDICULOUS. Amazing.

Needs moar street.

[codyreffner]

YES, he fucking laced that shit too, can't understand any hate for this edit. Grab the fishies tho

I don't want him to be artsy or fully unique or whatever.
I'm not saying he really needs to be either, it's just something that could make him stand out more, and help drive him to pro status. And I never disrespected his blading, and yes, diversity is good, which is why I say that something extra to help him stand out would help his skating. Look at all the pro skaters we have now. Insane skill on top of a distinct style. He doesn't need to dress like Robbie Pitts, he just needs something [other than enormous skill] that makes people say "That dude should be pro."

Saying that the modern rollerblader mentality necessitates complete originality is completely off. You don't disrespect your friends who you skate with because they aren't super unique, you just appreciate the skill that they have. Originality is something extra on top of that skill, but in the end, it's the person's natural skating that you admire, not his leather pantz and denim vest.

I would never say that someone should completely change their skating, and I'd never disrespect someone who is obviously skilled just because their style doesn't fit what I think is cool. I always say that you should blade for yourself and no one else, I was just commenting on something I personally thought could make his blading better.

[UnknownPleasures]

Tricks were good, but I was bored.

[tim_adams]

I agree with Gross. That makes a lot of sense.

[The_John]

HOLY FUCK!! that kid is waaaaay too good. i quit.

Insane skill on top of a distinct style. He doesn't need to dress like Robbie Pitts, he just needs something [other than enormous skill] that makes people say "That dude should be pro."

He already has something that makes him stand out: wins big competitions by doing hard connected tricks, tries new airs into grinds (bio 540 aotp?) and i'm sure more, i just don't see him blading in real life, so i can't know. Yes he may not be someone's cup of tea, but he is not a dude who just does tricks, that's what i disagree with. What tricks is important, how they were done is important too.

Actually now anyone who does some ridiculous gaps, switch ups on bigger obstacles or balanced tricks on longer obstacles would stand out, because the masses are into smaller/shorter stuff, "unique spots > hard tricks" mentality is now in and spreading. Everyone around me including myself do a lot of that, everyone in the edits i see lately do that. (Soon.)

I didn't know your view on blading until now, only that post. Your post caught my attention because it looks like a modern rollerblader opinion to me and a serious one (and because i know that you are young, i admit). And by "modern rollerblader opinion" i mean being too picky about other's skating, trying to compare everyone to his idols and seeing only what appeals to him as a good thing.

Also now you said "Look at all the pro skaters we have now". Why are you comparing him to them? He is not a pro, he is an AM Julien Cudot with his style and his tricks which can even grow into something more original and dope than what current pros are doing. Give it some time.

Not enough achievements in blading industry/history for him to be pro. But pro status can also be given to whoever is going to bring more sales by representing the brand and that isn't cool.

[azrider]

The kid is so young...

That Crystal Castles track, was one of the earliest ones they released. So props to Adrien Anne, for song selection. Still though.

Heard Crystal Castles at Old Navy, not exactly an unknown band, especially their earlier stuff.
Also lawlz for asking if it was new and then crediting him for using an old song.
ausum edit.

[CerealGuy]

never met the dude so i don't know... but i heard he is an asshole... is that true?

[gen2roller]

I honestly have no idea why that edit was boring to watch, but it was. Too fucking good at blading though, holy shit

[MyGlockGoPopPopPop]

I think it was the skates
Maybe it's maybeline.

[Makio]

Maybe it's maybeline.

because you're worth it

QFTMFT again......


never met the dude so i don't know... but i heard he is an asshole... is that true?
i wouldn't be surprised but who cares, as long as hes not doing stupid things like Stephane Alfano or Broskow.....and i would fully understand Cudot if he starts hating americans after all the hate, boo-ing, middle fingers and shit like this. Imagine traveling around the globe so you can be boo-ed or flipped off by some of the best pros only bcs you don't fit in some standards
