Paris, France brings the ambience, the sport, and the diversity. For Cedric, a big fan of the ‘90s label okayplayer (hence, OKP), it also brings creativity and exploration to his rides – especially at La Défense, an esplanade not quite in the center of Paris.

This dope playground, part of the Parisian business district, has a marble surface that allows for great views like the Grande Arche and even greater aerials.

And Ced, along with his Paris group ride, takes advantage of this incroyable terrain every week.

For CEd, riding his board is like snowboarding in the streets. It improves his muscle memory while providing the sensation of endless sliding.

While he’s changed the deck to an 85', he’s found the electronics on his board to be at another level. Even with the upgrades, Ced, as an OG skateboarder, prefers to take his Summerboard and just explore.

Because riding is always a legit experience.
