In 1999 the Flip team gathered to go visit Tom Penny at his house in the french countryside where he was living at the time with his mom. The mini ramp in the barn had been built couple years before by Geoff Rowley and Rune Glifberg, so Tom could keep on skating while in the middle of nowhere with no street spots to skate. As you can see in this raw edit, this was the very first time Bastien Salabanzi came on a Flip trip, and here you can see him meeting Rowley and Boulala for the first time. You can aslo notice US skateboarder Eric Brockman, but that trip was not fun at all for him, being the only US dude...adding to that the pressure on being on such an intense team of heavy rippers, it was too much for him to handle and he quit Flip soon after that mission in France.
