Kingpin #120 with Gabriel Engelke on the cover and more inside!

As you might be able to tell from the cover  (the man who’s about to chuck himself in the water is Gabriel Engelke), one of our main features this month is a Carhartt X Antiz trip to the Alps. Organising a skate mission out there is already quite a strange idea in itself but what’s even weirder is that all of the photos in this article are the result of two very different photographers’ teamwork. Indeed each and every one of them Joel Tettamanti (a fine art landscape photographer) picked the angle and set up the tripod but Bertrand Trichet, the skate photographer, was the one to press the button and make sure it was shot at the right moment. It all sounds pretty mad but we are really happy with how they came out. Plus Sylvain Tognelli absolutely smashed it.

Watch out for the video from that trip with Gabriel Engelke, Joseph Biais, Hugo Liard, Sylvain Tognelli and Dominik Dietrich that should be available on the Kingpin website next week. The video was filmed and edited by master lensman Paul Labadie!
