Ennui catalog 2013

Any skater, biker or rollerblader knows how dangerous their activity can be and if you have been skating long enough your body will have collected a large number of injuries just as we all have. The question is, why not wear protective gear? The fact is, skaters don’t like to feel their movement restricted or lose the freedom that wheels provide. Urban sports are in need of a different style of protection gear that works in harmony with their moves and their outfit. It doesn’t matter if you are performing tricks in the streets or just cruising on your way to school, work or a party, your protective gear can ruin the experience if they are not suited for you or your activity. ENNUI™ is a new concept of protective gear specifically designed for urban sports, all non motorized wheeled sports, and for all sizes of wheels. As skaters our aim is to create protective gear that we would wear ourselves, gear that keeps us safe and protects our bodies against all sorts of injuries while at the same time being unobtrusive, comfortable and looking good while wearing them on the streets. It doesn’t matter if you are into skateboarding, bmx, fixed gear bikes, mtb, longboarding, rollerblading, streetboarding or scooter, we offer a wide range of specialized products to cover your safety needs. Urban sports are extremely fun, don’t ruin the experience with the wrong gear, choose ENNUI™. ennui-brand.com facebook.com/ennuibrand

CITY crash shorts The City Crash Pads are the most advanced protection for your hips. They include two moulded high density dual layer EVA protection combined with PORON® XRD™ on the sides and a removable EVA insert for the back. PORON® XRD™ technology offers the best repeated shock absorption of any high performance protection foam for extreme applications. In a nutshell, impact force dissipates and is distributed over a larger area, resulting in lower stress to the wearer. Upon high speed contact, PORON® XRD™ material instantaneously firms creating a protective shield that absorbs the strike, while remaining comfortable and non-confining as it returns to its ‘resting’ state. Because XRD™ foam will not break down on impact you get maximum protection every hit. The ENNUI™ City crash pads passed all the tests and are CE certificated for skating, cycling and motorcycling, including the test under -20ºC for snow sports. They will protect you even in the most demanding and extreme situations.

His energy and passion for skating are contagious, he would definitely not be the same person without skates on his feet and we can’t imagine rollerblading without Richie! he is one of the most respected and loved skaters for a reason.

Sergi Nicolas Streetboard Formerly known as snakeboarding, streetboarding might not have too much presence in the media, but many BMX, inline skaters, and skateboarders around the world know about this crazy guy, grinding handrails and jumping higher than anyone else with his board attached to his feet. If Sergi had started his carreer as a snowboarder or soccer player for sure by now he would have been a millionare with world recognition, but his passion for a less mediatic sport kept him out of the spotlight like most urban sports enthusiasts. Sergi is not only the best rider in streetboard history, World Champion and chosen skater of the year again in 2012, but he collects more world titles, video sections and interviews than anyone else in the sport, and without doubt he has helped to create and define what streetboarding is about today. ENNUI™ is proud to have this extremely talented athlete and unique character in our team.
