Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Classic skate photography takes center stage with crucial work from some of the industries' most renowned lens-men such as Oliver Barton, Mike O'Meally, Fred Mortagne and Olivier Chassignole. This epic narrative is given form with a lively text written by Transworld SKATEboard's Mackenzie Eisenhour. "Resumé" chronicles the tactics of Jeremie Daclin, as he launches Cliché skateboards in France in 1997 and pours his heart and soul into a start-up with no money, investors, or even employees. Daclin's shoestring budget never held him back, as breathtaking tour imagery ranging from Athens, Greece, to New York City, to the island of Sardinia and Italy quickly makes clear. Interviews, tales of camping in sewer tunnels, rental van tours, and home-cooked meals are all integral to the story of Resumé. This modus operandi at the heart of Cliché's strategy culminates with the Gypsy Tours 1 and 2-a skateboard "Survivor"-style challenge to team skaters, forced to test their mettle by travelling with no secured lodging on only 10 euros a day.
