FR products and innovations are already setting tomorrows new standards. Join the FR brand in a new era!

Sebastien Laffargue

Sebastien Laffargue began to skate when he was a child in Paris, and entered his first competition in 1996. He took part and won many of them, including the biggest ones, but became famous all over the world thanks to his online video showing a new way of doing freestyle tricks and his stylish ride. 
He performed in many different kinds of skating disciplines, which gave him the knowledge of all types of skates: freestyle and speed slalom, road and bobtrack inline downhill, skate-cross, freejump, slides, freeride and even speed skating. A new era for the inline industry began when in 2005 the first pair of his own skates came out. Gregoire Pinto, who was already Sebastien's best friend for many years, skating and competing together all over the world, joined him in 2006 and the combination of both experience, ideas and concepts gave birth to the FR concept

Today, Sebastien Laffargue, Gregoire Pinto and their team continue to develop the best innovative products to push skaters to higher levels or simply have fun on their skates!
