Jérôme Rychlewski

Artiste (a.k.a Chut)/Snowboarder/Skater

Sensation is the engine of my existence.
Having my roots in windsurfing, it was quite natural to try all kind of boardsports and due to that curiosity I put my feet on a snowboard more than 20 years ago and on a skateboard for even much longer.
Later on I striked a path to a pseudo snowboard pro career in the 90ies.
Then I had the opportunity to work for this boardsport industry (NITRO Snowboards, DaKine, Sector 9, RUSTY) and fonding Lutèce Skateboards, a french skateboards brand, wich some friends and myself animated for several years.
Hence forth I pass my life with my family in the south-west of France working on art projects and having a ride (skate, surf or snowboard) whenever I can.
But my acting, my work and my dedication will tell you way more than those few lines.
