Alexis Desolneux – Coalesce

Leave a Comment

Alexis Desolneux is back with a fresh flatland, street, park video to check out!

We’re always stoked to check out a new video from Alexis Desolneux! Here’s his latest that mixes flatland, street and ramps all together into one. It’s always awesome seeing what a flatland rider can cook up when they mix in rails, ledges, ramps and more. Alexis has a bunch of creative and unique clips in this one. Take a peek!

Alexis Desolneux at the Skatepark of Tampa

Leave a Comment

Alex Desolneux went to work at the Skatepark of Tampa…

It’s always rad seeing the flatland guys riding ramps or street spots because they always come through with something different and uniqe that makes for a video you can’t look away from. This new one Alexis Desolneux uploaded from a session at the Skatepark of Tampa is a perfect example of that. This one might be short and sweet, but there’s some unique lines and a grind I’m sure a bunch of you have never even considered trying in this. Hit play and take a peek! You won’t be disappointed.

“Everything happens for a reason. I met Matt Coplon (who filmed clips and edited this) through writing letters and trading tapes/records of our respective obscure hardcore bands around 1995-96. None of us knew we both loved BMX until 1998 when I mentioned coming over to Florida to enter X-Games qualifications in St-Petersburg. When bridges between the DIY HC/punk and BMX scenes took me on bridges over the Tampa Bay. A place I had only heard of through its death metal history. It’s no coincidence I’m here, I love both. DEATH Leprosy. MORBID ANGEL Gateways to Annihilation. ASSÜCK Misery Index. REVERSAL OF MAN… And now HORSEWHIP. That music scene. These bands and records. These people.
Skatepark Of Tampa. The most iconic skatepark in the world. Supporting BMX since Day 1. UNBROKEN played in 1993. If only I could have been there. Or ASSÜCK. Or any of the many 90’s shows the park welcomed.
2018, I want to see this little edit as a chance to thank SpoT for the great times and all my people in Tampa, from BMX, skateboarding and music, and in more than one case sharing these worlds. Just like flatland can inspire some street/park riding. It’s all connected. This edit wouldn’t be without taking in all of these different sources of energy and inspiration.
Love riding to death. See you next time Tampa.
Peace.

Heresy BMX – Across

Leave a Comment

You can always count on the Heresey BMX crew to come through with some amazing flatland and super clean film work…

The Heresy BMX crew dropped this new mix featuring Sebastian Grubinger, Alexis Desolneux and Markus Redlberger from Vienna for your viewing pleasure. This black and white video features a handful of different riders laying down some amazing flatland riding with a touch of street mixed in for good measure. It’s pretty wild how much the lines between street and flatland are blurred these days. That’s not a bad thing, either. Hit play and take this one in!

“In Vienna. Here and there. The everlasting filth, the crawling vermin, the pungent stench of piss walls and dirty bridges, the broken glass, the hordes of tourists, the heavy smell at the back of restaurants, the Danube cold winds, the grumpy passer-by, the football hooligans… And their own riding borders — they went ACROSS.

Bueno – Profile Racing on Socal Iconic Spots

Leave a Comment

Profile Racing starting your week off with a dialed video from some time a few of their team members spent cruising some of Southern California’s more notable spots! This video has a ton of real solid riding from ditches, pools and more that you most likely have seen a time or two, with a real laid back vibe to it. Enjoy!

“Right after interbike, Jared and Devin Eberwein hosted Gervais Rousseau and Alexis Desolneux during a long weekend in the SoCal desert. The goal was to hit as many iconic spots as possible. Along the way, we met up with Mike Saavedra, Chris Rivers, John Stafford, and Vince Kroff.
Here is what we captured over four days.
Enjoy!”

Alexis Desolneux – You Are Your Path

Here’s a dialed new one I spotted on Flat Matters featuring Alexis Desolneux, who has been behind the lens of all of the Heresy videos. Stoked on this self filmed gem!

“« I don’t know any friend or even professional filmer who would have the « patience » of my tripod. Filming with a tripod clearly has its limits in terms of picture quality and representation of a rider’s motion but at the same time, with this video part, this was the only way to realize it. Always available to document, always there for me with the video camera to try to capture a moment that may happen—or never. There are certainly a few things in that video that I would like to re-film better someday or just improve the riding itself. But there are also a few things that I have no certainty to ever capture again on film and, for that specific reason, self-filming was essential to manage the stress and effort of trying to make something happen — be it just once.
But this was all part of the fun in the end : the fear or doubt to never be able to realize a motion you’ve been dreaming about for months or years, abruptly replaced with the profound joy of finally doing it—being able to tell yourself that today was the day and to just go home with a big smile on your face. It is true that the journey can be more important than the destination itself but finding yourself taking a picture of that destination is not a bad feeling ! And more often than not the starting point of another journey.
With these four little minutes, I hope to share with you a little piece of the incredible fun I had building this video part and to also make you want to go out and try to catch that rare moment of yours, enjoy riding and make your day a good day in the process. Thank you for watching. You are your path » — Alexis
