Aurelien is dumping a ton of good footy here in his former etnies kicks and his former-former, but maybe-back-on sponsor, Nike SB. You may remember Aurelien got a pro model on etnies last year, but also got let go in the midst of the Nidecker buy out. At any rate, Aurelien's signature power and big flips are on full display here as he puts his stamp on spots in LA, Spain and his native ground in France.

Always going HAM, the fakie hardflips are here and the big backside flips. Sitting on kickflip backside tailslides and kickflipping out—he even brought it to Oceanside's Transit Center. We can't help but think of JB Gillet with the ledge-twiser line at Lyon's Hotel De Ville. And the ender at Sylmar is an epic NBD.

One look at etnies' roster and you can see it's been whittled down to just six heads.

Another offload from the Sole Tech sell, Chris Joslin dropped a heavy part today too, seemingly doing an offloading himself. Both Plan B teammates are steady crushing.

For more team and ownership changes, the crack team at Dead Air Radio always have the 411 in their pod episodes:

Looks like Aurelien is in the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater reboot?
