Pascal Lafontaine – Behind The Scenes

November 7, 2019

The other week we got a look at Pascal Lafontaine‘s latest edit (that we re-embedded down below) that was an absolute BANGER. Not only was the riding amazing, but it was also Pascal’s way of showing that despite losing his leg to cancer, he didn’t let it stop him from crushing it on his bike! After a ton of rehab and learning to ride with a prosthetic leg, Pascal absolutely achieved his goal of getting back on his level of riding. Like any heavy project, Pascal took plenty of slams and put in a ton of work for this. Hit play to check out over 30 minutes of raw footage filmed while creating that amazing new video.

“You may remember a few weeks ago we dropped a video that changed our perception of what’s possible on a bike. Well, now you can watch the whole process behind filming on the new Pascal Lafontaine video. This has to be the toughest human in BMX. Pascal, we salute you.” – DIG
