It looks like Alex Kennedy has been making some moves as the French team manager for 4Down Distribution France. Nico Badet is now doing it for Fit Bike Co. and Antoine Nau is doing it for S&M Bikes! Check out two quick instagram teasers above and below for both guys. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing proper welcome edits for both of these guys in the near future, so get stoked!
Trip Apache 2015
Soul BMX Mag just released this years Trip Apache video for you to check out! The concept behind the annual Trip Apache is pretty simple… Load up a shit ton of France’s finest BMX and skateboarders and hit the road checking out a handful of different skateparks. This 15 minute video gives us a look at a ton of highlights from the riding that went down at each of the parks and some extra footage to give you a good feel of the overall vibe of the trip, which from our perspective looks like it was amazing.

Nico Badet Bike Check
There’s a new bike check with Nico Badet up on the Data BMX website giving us a closer look at his current Subrosa Noster II setup that he’s running these days! The interview portion is in French, but the parts list is in English so even if you can’t read it all, it’s still worth a look! That’s one clean looking BMX bike to us!
