Freestyle soccer expert Arnaud 'Séan' Garnier started out with dreams of becoming a full-time professional footballer, but he suffered a series of injuries early on in his career and decided to become a coach instead. After that he discovered a new passion that combined breaking and football: the urban art of freestyle football.

Garnier quickly found his groove, developing his own style and unique set of skills. Within two years, he went from demoing on the streets of Paris to the world stage, and in 2008 he was crowned World Champion at the first Red Bull Street Style World Finals in São Paulo, Brazil, the spiritual home of freestyle.
