Maxime Bonfil – Winter 2017 No Budget Video

May 25, 2017

No budget? No problem!

One of the best parts about BMX is that it really doesn’t cost that much money to make things happen. Sure, bikes and parks can get a little spendy, but for the most part you can make things work with virtually no budget. Maxime Bonfil didn’t have a budget, but that didn’t keep him from making his way to a handful of skateparks, DIY and street spots to film for his latest video. As always, Maxime brings a ton of style to the table and this video has more tire slides and cranked turndowns than anything. It’s a damn good watch from start to finish, so enjoy!
