You all know JS Lapierre. This talented skater coming straight from an Eastern Townships farm is not only good at skating, he's an just an outstanding human. Just like his clothing sponsor, JS has a progressive way of life and that is why we love him so much.

Since JS has taken control of RVCA's Instagram account, we got blessed with high-level skating from our favorite Quebec skater on a regular basis. It should happen more often!
Read the interview below to learn more about JS, his Instagram posts and what inspires him at RVCA.
According to what we see on @rvca.canada, you shred the mini-ramp in Empire's basement like a savage. Do you like the new set-up?
I love the new setup! The guys did an incredible job considering the limited space they had for a ramp, and in a basement too! There are so many new lines possibilities, every time I skate there I have tons of fun.

Thanks! It's an 18 I think. It was on a nice summer morning with Dan Mathieu, Pif and other friends from Quebec City. First spot of the day. This is a rail already known for snowboarders, but it's some guys just recently started skating it. Pif wanted to skate the rail and I just decided to skate it him with him, I Feebled it in a few tries and he Smith grinded it in 3 tries. It was such a sick session.

It's hard to say. Personally, I would say the Frontside 180 switch backside 5-0 switch backside 180 out. It was quite complicated to figure out how to do the whole rotation. Thanks to Will Cristofaro and Jessy Jean Bart for their patience and sweet filming!

long have you been on RVCA?
It's been a year now.
What do you like about the brand?
I like the image of the brand and I always liked the team. It is a really laid back company and they have a relaxed image. That brand fits me well.
What do you like about gear?
The gear is really durable and can witstand skateboarding for sure! I'm often wearing the same clothes for months because I like to travel light, so it's not uncommon for me to do a 3-month skate trip with just one pair of pants. The fact that the gear is so durable allows me not to worry about it. It's also easier to skate in the heat while staying comfortable, because the t-shirts are thin.
JS's Gear
Even if the tricks that JS does on his board are quite complicated, his dress style is not. He likes simple, stylish clothes that are, above all, durable and comfortable. In all it's simplicity, here are the RVCA items that JS likes to wear and loves to skate.
If you want to start skating early in 2017, you have to not be afraid of the cold. In March or April, it is possible to skate, but you must have warm clothes. Not a winter jacket that keeps you from moving, but a light jacket, warm and comfortable, as JS likes them.
To keep on pair of pants on a 3 months trip, when you skate every day, you need pants that are made to endure the abuse that the skaters put them through. Tell yourself that if JS is able to last 3 months on a trip with these pants, you probably can too.
The slim and sturdy t-shirts that skaters need to skate to the maximum of their ability. With the RVCA’s red stitch, found on the shoulder seams of our premium ‘vintage wash’ and ‘vintage dye’ tees has been a RVCA original since the garage stages of the brand. No wonder why skaters like JS likes them so much.
