“One year ago, in the middle of summer, the Nike 6.0 french team went on a special tour with Soulbmxmag crew, on a boat, from Montpellier to Narbonne (basically). It took us 10 days to make the 100 kilometers, but it gave the trip an incredible and smooth vibe. Living on a boat in the middle of beautiful french countryside, between the trees and across small and charmful villages, was very relaxing and fun for the troop composed of Maxime Charveron, Joris Coulomb, Georgy Doremus and our favorite special UK guest Alex Kennedy. The daily routine was looking like TM Franky Moissonnier navigating in the morning while everyone were asleep, good lunch on the boat while still navigating, some chill in the inflated pool on the top of the roof still navigating, open 5 locked gate a day, then session at the end of afternoon when it gets cooler. We stopped on small cities and skateparks and also in the famous, Bergerie where the guys had some pretty nice and relaxed sessions. Having this comfy and slow way of transportation made the trip so unique, with few stress’s (except the episode of night boat attack in Beziers), a lot of biking to reach the city center and a lot of fun jumping into the canal. We hope this video filmed by Luka Serre and Edited by Hadrien Picard is giving justice to that atmosphere and make you want to take the river and come to France one day.
