Barcelona Days 6
Date. 2022
As not everyone is lucky enough to reside in a region with all-year round warm weather, there's no better winter escape plan than jumping on a plane and heading to the mecca of street riding; the beautiful Barcelona. We also invited some other riders to join us and have been amazed by the response, I mean how sick is it to see guys like Emil Johansson and Sam Pilgrim shred the streets? Now enough with the chit chat, sit back and watch 9 riders make Barcelona their playground for 13 minutes of pure MTB Street riding!

Louis Lhomel summer shredz
Date. 2020
Most of the time found behind the camera, Louis Lhomel sometimes switches the roles around and jumps in front of it in the most natural ways there is. Blame it on Covid, everyone was stuck home most of the year so far, but luckily Louis had just moved to a new spot in Montreal with a freshly built skatepark about 5 minutes away.
While shredding the new park regularly, Louis linked up with Montreal BMX rider and cinematographer Lukas Adam Chassé and they decided to work on this part together. Lukas is a BMX mogul in Montreal, mostly known for his implication with the Mannish BMX crew; from producing a full length video with them among many other video projects.
