      We met Julien back in 2014 during events such as Peyragudes Never Dies, Le Rigalet, La D35 (…etc.). So many great events out there!
      \nJulien was looking for a Luge that would meet his needs and enable him to take part in Championships and events across the world.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Roarockit technology makes it possible to\u00a0build all types of custom boards, but a Street Luge entirely made of\u00a0veneer and vinyl glue with\u00a0oversize dimensions and shapes had not yet been done. We were up for the challenge and launched ourselves into the making of a unique Street Luge!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      After several months, the first luge was ready. Made entirely using the Roarockit Thin Air Press, Canadian maple veneer and Titebond III glue. Julien participated in several freerides to test it, see if improvements were needed and to get a maximum amount of feedback on the board from other riders. Returns were positive but some improvements could be made: a little wider and shorter.<\/p>\n

      The second prototype was then a success! A Street Luge entirely handmade with Roarockit technology, a one-of-a-kind Luge.<\/p>\n

      The making of this first Street Luge entirely out of veneer is a great pride. A successful collaboration between rider Julien Fouchard, who brought his knowledge of the discipline and Roarockit for the technicalities of the build. The graphics were done by rider and artist Thomas, aka LeGrinch,\u00a0Lako – Art & Co<\/a><\/p>\n

      \nThis coming season of 2018 Julien will be taking part in several Freerides: the Rigalet, Montaut Express, Saint Pathik…etc.<\/p>\n

      And also the IDF championships: Transylvania, Kozakov, Verdiccilio.<\/p>\n

      We are thoroughly looking forward to following his accomplishments this season and are stoked of having such an awesome Roarockit Ambassador and Team Rider!<\/p>\n

      Plus big shout out to Julien, for his\u00a0input on the successful build of the Street Luge\u00a0!<\/p>\n

      May it be a successful year of downhill events for Team Rider Julien Fouchard!<\/p>\n
