Pascal Lafontaine and the Battle with Osteosarcoma Cancer

November 30, 2015

There are a lot of things in this world that are unfair and less than ideal situations to be in. A few months ago, Pascal Lafontaine found that out the hard way when he was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer in his leg. With few options, the doctors and Pascal decided to amputate his leg to prevent the cancer from spreading.
When it comes to BMX, being healthy and having your body working properly is very important and as many of you know, having two legs is ideal. It might be ideal, but one thing you need to remember is that it takes A LOT to stop a BMX rider from riding.
Pascal recently picked back up where he left off thanks to a prosthetic leg and a lot of ambition to get back the riding that plays a huge role in his life. Between chemo therapy, he has been working on getting dialed again, and that alone is beyond impressive since that stuff will kick your ass.
We caught up with Pascal to talk a little bit about his battle with cancer, what it’s like to ride with a prosthetic leg and what his plans are now that he’s about to get the all clear from his doctors… Check it!

Name: Pascal Lafontaine

Sergio Layos – A Day At Ramp Riders

November 30, 2015

It’s good to see Sergio Layos back to crushing it on his bike after breaking his femur a little over two months ago! Pretty crazy how fast bones can heal these days. Either way, here’s a short but sweet one featuring Sergio and a few others getting some time in on the bowl at Ramp Riders in Copehagen, Denmark! This place looks super fun and Sergio brings plenty of style as usual!

“I spent a couple of days in Copenhagen and I was dreaming to ride this place for a while and I can tell you that if it looks good just wait till you ride it! Just a couple of clips hand held and some tripod shots I got and some clips of the people I got to ride with! Huge thanks to Frank for creating such a fun thing and letting me stay at his place and cupcake media for making this little edit together! Hope you enjoy it and make sure you visit this place before you die!
