Brise Larmes

August 18, 2020

When it comes to BMX, there’s a lot of creativity and art involved. What’s really cool is when you bring together a bunch of creative people together for a trip, you end up with something really awesome. Here’s a fresh BMX video from France that brought together a few artists for a road trip to cruise a few spots, bringing their own unique style to the table. Take a look!

“BRISE LARMES (Broken Tears)

After years of taking to the road with BMXers, I had decided that I wanted to experience a trip with artists to see how they would seek their own spots and find anywhere that would welcome their unlimited creativity. So, back in 2017 three French artists Adec, Arkane and Brokovich, along with photographer Maxime Ramoul, jumped in the Volvo for a road trip called “@Iretge” (a word that means ‘heretic’ in the local language).

After ‘painting’ the trails of Mathieu Dubourgnon with some chalk, and making a very cool collab at a skateboard DIY spot, we finished the trip on a wave breaker 200 meters away from the port city of Sète, near Montpellier (France). It was only reachable by boat and when we asked a fisherman to drop us there to paint on some crazy big cube of concrete, I was stunned by a perfect transition to wall that was just begging to be ridden. But we had no bikes…

It would be two years later before I brought back more friends but this time of course they were BMXers. Mathieu Dubourgnon, Cyrill Gay and Nico Cambon really wanted to ride that thing and the city around it.

In the spirit of the original ‘IRETGE’ project, I invited @Soukozart a young French BMXer / artist / rapper to illustrate the video which would be edited by Vincent Biraud (another BMXer of course), and we planned music from @wildbushband (also mainly composed of BMXer’s). An extended story to be written by myself will be out in @roots.bmx.albi fanzine a bit later on.

In short, here is a short little BMX project that took some time to be complete, for a spot that definitely awaits more riders to visit. – Ben Bello

Foundation – Confinade Project

April 30, 2020

With the shutdown keeping people home, we’ve seen a bunch of people getting creative to find ways to keep the sessions going. Nico Cambon and his son Sasha Cambon decided to build a mini ramp with a box jump extension for them to ride. Hit play to watch the build, along with plenty of riding clips from both of them. It turns out Sasha is a complete shredder just like his dad! Take a look!

“Cambons tinker during confinement!
Find Nico and Sasha (helped by the FOUNDATION brand) in this new video. Exit the old ramp and make way for the new one, after emptying the stock of wood and screws!

The small family also wishes to thank Milwaukee Tools France for the tools.

Stay confined and take care of yourself!” – Unleaded BMX
