Florent Soulas – Lockdown Edition

June 18, 2020

We’re always pumped when we see Florent Soulas‘ name pop up! Here’s a little look at what he’s been getting into during the lockdown! As always, Florent gets creative and brings plenty of style. Hit play and take it all in.

“FIT’s french front-end bike godfather Florent Soulas did lockdown his own way… like riding a huge pile of gravel like a dirt jump. This guy has creativity flowing from him. Here’s a quick-fire dose from himself and friend/filmer Leo Mongendre. Look out for something a little more serious from these two soon.” – DIG

“As you might have seen in the news, France recently lifted its lockdown measures that forbid anyone from leaving the house longer than an hour a day and further than a kilometer. Bicycle riding was not really permitted either, so needless to say that riding became a scarce and perilous business. There is nothing too fancy about it as it was completely unplanned, but even after knowing him for 15 years now, I never stop being amazed by his ability to find options no matter the spot (like dirt jumping and flipping a pile of gravel).” – Leo Mongendre

Now working behind the scenes at X Games for BMX events, Doyle reflects on his time in the BMX spotlight at X.” – X Games

June 17, 2020

The Weird & Revered crew coming through with another awesome section from the “Vagabond Squad” DVD. This time around we get a mix section from the Team Ontario squad who went to work on street spots, parks and more. This has a real good mix of tricks, with plenty of fufanus mixed in there, and styles, making for a good watch. Take a look!

““Vagabond Squad” is a full-length video from Canada’s Weird & Revered crew. Filmed from 2016 to 2019, the project is community rooted with a strong focus on the Edmonton BMX scene. Although a majority of the clips are from the crew’s home city, the footage spans 9 countries, 8 American states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories.

Next up in our release of sections from Vagabond Squad is a split part from Kyle Lafleur, Sean Tiffin, and Ted Bambrick.” – DIG

“Kyle, Sean, and Ted were all born in the Canadian province of Ontario, but have since called Alberta home. This split part provides a healthy mix of brake tricks, peg tricks, and high airs. While their riding styles may vary, their ages and roots hardly do.” – Justin Schwanke
