It’s pretty crazy how when you think of Iran, you just think of the crazy wars and everything going on in the Middle East… Honestly, BMX is probably one of the last things that would come to mind for most people. It’s videos like this that give you insight that even in places you might not expect it, BMX is alive and well. Hit play to check out some riding from the AMAZING skatepark they have in Tehran, along with some words from the locals keeping the BMX scene going over there.
“No matter where you go in the world there always seems to be a scene of BMXers making do with the hand they’ve been dealt, and working hard to make the most of what they have on offer. Tehran, Iran is no different and the guys over there kill it despite having very little regular outward help. While Antoine Sabourine was out there in 2015 filming for the DIG X BSD video ‘Lost In Iran’ video he spent some time at Abo Atash skatepark to catch some words and clips with the dudes who made it all happen out there. Truly inspiring.

If you remember, Luc Legrand, Clement Baes, Antony Lille and Antoine Sabourin spent some time in Iran a while back for their LOST IN IRAN video. Now we get some leftover bonus footage that didn’t make it into the first video, which is damn amazing. Check it.
“When you travel to a far away land shrouded by a turbulent history and pretty much solely bad press, you’re going to come away with something, be it good or bad. However, as will be with most cases, things couldn’t have worked out better for BSD’s Luc Legrand, Antony Lille and guest rider, Clement Baes with Iran playing the perfect host to their 2015 adventure. Due to the amount of incredible stuff to see there was an excess of great footage that gave more of the flavour of the trip beyond just the rdiing. Sit back and enjoy some of that extra footage that didn’t make the original cut.
