So how to describe victor – he’s a Frenchman, a student working on his master’s degree, he’s a surfer, a skydiver, a photographer and most of all he’s someone that has tapped into the ability to appreciate every second that he is experiencing in life. To quote Victor, “I’m a city boy, but I love camping, I love hiking, I love sleeping in sketchy igloos… I don’t care…. Snowboarding is my true passion.”

Quotes from this episode:
“Fuck Red Bull!”
“They bring alot of money onto our industry – for some stuff they do great. But for all that – to sell more poison, don’t forget it!”
“Snowboarding is not that cool anymore – we passed the cool trend… The snowboarders who are left are way more core and cool.”
“I cried five times the first time I watched it from laughing so hard.”
“Sick,Sick,Sick,Sick,Sick”
“The other Victor had to spit on my face.”
“Life is a kind of game and we’re all playing the same game.”
“On this life you never know – anything can happen.”
“I’m really passionate about building jumps. It’s like a kid game – you build your castle and then you play inside.”
“Because I dress a little bit nicer all my friends are calling me dandy.”
“In general, in snowboarding, people love to make fun of each other.”
“We’ll need to find some more Grandmas…”
“I have some really tragic memories of POGS games…..your kid was just a looser!”
“I went to a funeral last week and I want to shoot funerals – the vibe was kind of weird.”
“Snowboarding is a real passion for me – it’s not a job.”
“I did an internship with Nixon (marketing)… I don’t think I can work in an office all of my life.”
“We have one life, we need to live every fucking second.”
“I realized that I’m not scared to die. Life is made up of birth and death and between both you have to enjoy as much as possible.”
“I’m not really into religion at all…. When you see all of the wars for religion – it’s retarded.”
“We’re all gonna die.”
“First rule at UNO, UNO is a bitch.”
