The legendary Nozbone Benchmark contest started some years ago as a streetsession with some obstacles, till it got a facelift. For the second year it’s called Benchmark Fest now and is a two day event in an old trainstation at the edge of Paris. A lot of stuff was going on there. First of all there was a booth village run by skateshops, skatemags and NGO’s with skatestuff to buy and games to play. Romain Batard premiered a new Giddy clip, Loophole wheels X TroisCCD showed a new clip and there also was a Concrete Jungle Foundation videopremiere. For the party crowd skater and rapper Shredit Max gave a concert and for sure there were different sessions. In the end Hugo Corbin took the win at the Benchmark contest, with Amiel Kornicki coming in second and Theo Moga on third place.
So lots of fun stuff for the whole skateboarding family. See you there next year!
