THE FIRST QUESTION TO ASK HIM IS HOW THE IDEA OF MUSE ROLLING CAME TO HIM OF COURSE!
« I have always functioned out of the box. I like to do things differently, in a slightly offbeat way. In 2007 already, I was among the first to travel by scooter and I couldn't find one made in Europe. Now we see them everywhere, so I looked for something else. »
Thierry travels a lot for his professional life. He has always sought the most suitable and ecological option possible. Concerned about nature and the environment, he keeps in mind a real desire to preserve his planet. How does he do this? He doesn't fly for vacation, his personal car runs on gas, and whenever he can, he uses a motorcycle. Or he travels by train as much as possible. And who says train, says small distances to cover, between the station and meeting places. Some would go on foot or by public transport. Thierry covers these distances on a longboard. It saves time, without ever being dependent on a bus or tram timetable.
When it comes to the brake, the story is more personal. For his clients, Thierry must be elegant. The idea of the braking system therefore responded to the desire to move in a fluid and ecological manner, even when braking on the asphalt.
Additionally, at age 16, his son suffered a serious accident while skateboarding. With a brake, the fall could certainly have been avoided. Ever since, Thierry has considered a brake to be an essential component, and this has opened up a new world of customers, active city-dwelling adults.
Originally from Brittany, Thierry grew up with the sea. What do longboarding and navigation have in common? Softness, gliding, fluidity.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING WITH THIS PRODUCT?
« Muse Rolling is my nano-contribution to clean travel. The company gives me the opportunity to nourish my values, which I list for you not in any particular order: ecology, local, quality, good work, transparency, excellence. This comes to me from my professional background. In reaction to the world of multinationals and the constant and insatiable search for profits. »
AND WHAT DAILY USE DO YOU HAVE FOR THE MUSE ROLLING LONGBOARD?
The board is really his tool for getting around. He uses it several times a week to go to work. Here, we are not talking about a toy or a hobby. It is a useful object, which makes everyday life easier. In the morning, he takes it, hangs it on his motorbike to go to the station. It’s practical, and contrary to a bicycle for example, he does not have to pay extra on the train.
« I like the idea of the businessman riding a longboard. At the age of 50, I feel like a child-teenager, not quite finished. And I'm no longer ashamed of it. Sometimes, people smile when they see me; they probably consider me a little original.. But actually who is the child in all this? »
