The Story Behind the Belgrade Curved Wallride with Erik Elstran & Luc Legrand

January 7, 2015

Did you catch that crazy curved wall ride that Erik Elstran and Luc Legrand did the Grand Belgrade Hotel video that dropped the other day? Well, here’s a behind the scenes look at that spot with some bonus footage. You can also read about the story behind the spot over on the DIG website!

“Belgrade is pretty much curved wall ride heaven and that’s part of the reason why I was really happy to bring Luc Legrand an Erik Elstran, two of my favourite riders, to Belgrade for a week of creative street madness last summer for the Grand Belgrade Hotel video. At first, their riding styles may seem completely different but they both shred on their bikes in a different way to what’s fashionable right now… and they’re really nice guys.

Luc had already been to Belgrade twice before and knew some really good local spots. Actually, he once pulled a crazy wallride down some stairs there that made one of the best ever covers of Soul Magazine. And that’s where we were headed…” – Hadrien Picard

Take Belgrade, a city, young and Slavonic, in a post soviet atmosphere, add Erik Elstran an alien from Minnesota & Luc Legrand, a French adventurer; shake it in front of Hadrien Picard’s Lumia 930 and you get a surprising video tribute to latest Wes Anderson movie. Visitor a couple of year ago of this region of southern Europe, Luc guides us into the intriguing “new” city of Belgrade in Serbia full of strange spots and curved wall that fits perfectly with the phenomenal and super skilled Erik Elstran famous for his creative and always entertaining videos. Indeed, the gifted kid wearing goofy shirts forms an unique pair with the always curious Frenchman, and it’s no surprise to see them perform an absolutely mind blowing last trick at the end of this new joyful Lumia Pureviews edit.

November 13, 2014

Here’s one we’ve been waiting for all week! The latest Nokia Pureviews video from Hadrien Picard featuring Dennis Enarson and Ronnie Napolitan in Portugal! You already know this is one you gotta see. Hit play!

“A video shot with a Lumia 930

Hadrien Picard already offered us some pretty well known BMXERS, such as Simone Barraco, Kevin Kalkoff or Anthony Perrin but for his latest production shotwithlumia he brings us no one else than the best rider in the world, a huge and young star coming from San Diego, California. Please welcome Dennis Enarson. Joined by his good friend Ronnie Napolitan who also belongs to the infamous MARKIT crew, they follow their friendly guides through Portugal, from the historical streets of Lisboa to the beach of Portimao, passing by the lost village of Belmonte where has been built an incredibly deep bowl. After years of weird stories, this bowl is still a myth as nobody knows the truth about this unforgivable construction. Unfortunately, the trapped and dead frogs who sunbathed too long at the bottom of the hole couldn’t give us more information, even with a kiss. So let’s just enjoy the crazy riding of Dennis in this new exotic film rocked by local guitars.”
