Magenta's Leo Valls has long represented a contrarian subsect of street skating, one currently proliferating in Japan as evidenced through Tightbooth's Lenz video series, a style defined by its obscure powerslide combinations, nimble-footed trickery, and low impact lines filmed fisheye and at speed. Leo's latest for DC Shoes takes him between his motherland of Bordeaux and current residence in Los Angeles, a video dedicated to his daughter that challenges the viewer to think differently about how to approach a skate spot and what constitutes a "legitimate" trick.
