Notable:
Anis is the 2000 ASA European Amateur Vert Champion, which automatically earned his invitation to the 2001 X Games. He is a rookie to the ASA pro tour giving him little experience competing at elite competitions. In France he is famous and is supported by his good friend and fellow Frenchman Taig Khris.
Quote:
Taig explains Anis' fame in Europe, "In France, Anis is well known because he is one of the best vert skaters, plus he won the championships. In the rest of Europe he is not as well known, because there are not as many competitions anymore. Three years ago there was a comp almost every weekend and that helped me become well known. Now Anis does not have much of a chance for recognition unless he comes to the U.S."
