Leader of the new school! Hailing from France, Edouard Damestoy lets his skating do the talking and attacks big terrain with a vengeance: He’s one of those rare skateboarders that can excel on vert ramps, concrete parks, and Mega Ramp courses while pushing the limits of progression and trick innovation. It’s no surprise, because he was practically raised with skateboarding in his blood by a father who worked as a surfboard shaper and gave young Edouard his first skateboard at age 7. Blending tricks from old school and new school influences into a unique bag of tricks, Damestoy has emerged as one of the main riders to watch on the global vert circuit. In a short amount of time, he’s become the most decorated French vertical skateboarder of all time, boasting a trophy case full of X Games gold medals and multiple World Championship titles. And let’s not forget that he does it all with the kind of high-energy style that gets people fired up about the future of vertical skateboarding.
