Here’s a new one Freedom BMX dropped online from a trip the SIBMX team took to France a little while back! Toward the end of the trip, the camera get got jacked, but despite that, they still had a bunch of great footage from phones and a few other cameras. Check out what these guys got into from the street spots, ditches, skateparks and more they rode during the trip. It looks like it was a real good time to us!

“Before the SIBMX team went on a motorhome trip last year, the itinerary was discussed at length. In addition to good weather and many spots, one criterion was the safety of the top-quality Carado vehicles and the equipment in them. In Milan, for example, wakeboarders who were friends had just been robbed and lost the recordings they had collected, and there were also many a horror story about southern France. We wanted to avoid such a scenario at all costs.

The fact that the footage of this trip was ultimately not stolen somewhere abroad a few weeks later, but less than 50 kilometers from the medalist’s front door, is an irony of history or a variety of self-fulfilling prophecies – depending on how you take it.

But fortunately Merlin Czarnulla was also part of the party, who had photographed the best maneuvers, so that at least in this form the rest of humanity could participate in the boys’ escapades. You can see the result in our current Choices issue and in this gallery.

In addition, all fellow travelers were busy filming Insta-Jibs with their cell phones and with Alessandro Izzo, Pierre Hinze and Adrian Warnken, three of them even had real cameras with them to film second angles. We have now edited these recordings into two tracks, which felt like they were running continuously during the trip, in order to heal the mental wounds of the travel group a little. The result can be seen above and in order to process the loss of the footage in the best possible way, we also asked the main actors which clips they were particularly sad about the loss.
