French Fred Presents Brezinski

By: Tom Morin

Joey Brezinski is one of the best technical skateboarders out there right now, especially on two wheels, and Fred Montagne is arguably one of the two best videographers. The Fred from France pretty much changed how skate videos are made a few years back with his creation of the eS video Menkmatin. He and Ty Evans were both on the forefront of video exploration in the late 90s, with each of their versions of the rolling long lens angle. It was like the race to the moon between the United States and the USSR back in the 60s, except in this edition it was France vs. the U.S. in a race to get the footage out first. Just like in the space race the good ol' US of A took the checkered flag, but after Menkmantin came out Fred got most of the recognition for the angle, with people even calling it the "Friangle." If you want to check it out, get your hands on a copy of the DVD and watch Eric Koston's nollie heelflip to noseslide at Wilshire.

Back to Brezinski. He's a two wheel technician, as well as a four wheel wizard. In this video brought to you by the folks over a Cliche skateboards he shows, he's got everything from the cutting edge to the retro. I'll let my man Biggie explain, "Old School, New School, need to learn though, I burn baby, burn, like disco inferno." Sit back relax and enjoy Brezinski + French Fred + Cliche:
