The Antiz and Absurd crews share a lot in common: their love for skateboarding, of course – but also the same approach to it, the hobo lifestyle and the rock n’ roll attitude.

So it was inevitable then, that in time they would link up and spark one another off. Since they first met, Antiz commander Julien Bachelier maintained that one day he'd bring the in-laws and outlaws toward the Eastern Bloc for good times and shredding behind what was once called the Iron Curtain.

True to his word, that day became reality when Samu Karvonen, Roland Hirsch, Julian Furones and Julien himself dropped in on Absurd's Gosha Konyshev, Leo Lukin and Sasha Kolbnitsev in Moscow for some heavy sessions in the Russian capital.
