Veni, Vidi, Vici
Nowadays it's becoming more and more common seeing kids that most probably haven't even had their first hangover, are under 5 ft and that have no apparent muscles that can battle skaters like Brian Aragon. Fact is Julien Cudot has already battled Aragon, at the winterclash earlier this year. Veni, Vidi, VIci. Julien came, saw and conquered at the Deshtruction Derby in Esklistuna, Sweden last weekend against all the Swedish Seniors and half the Grindhouse team and against another wonderchild - Joe Aktins. It's an understatement to state that Julien is good for his age, he is GOOD with capital letters.

I was given the opportunity to talk to both Julien and his father during the competion when i was trying to help them book a hotel room because his father speaks no english and Julien is still learning it. Julien is not only a great skater but he is also really kind, humble and intelligent for his age. His father is very supportive and travels with his son to events like Winterclash, AIL and all the way to little Sweden just for inlines. Here follows a small interview with a talent to keep your eyes on.
