Unicorn – Morocco Trip

April 4, 2020

We’re always stoked to check out a fresh BMX video from the Unicorn squad. They recently loaded up for a trip to Morocco where they took in the sights, sounds, spots and more. Here’s a look at what they got into along the way! It’s pretty rad seeing the reaction the people on the streets had just seeing these guys doing their thing. We don’t see too many BMX videos out of Morocco, but it always looks like a trip when we do.

“Heading to Morocco, we went on a road trip to some legendary places in this beautiful country: Marrakesh, the Atlas Mountains, Ouarzazate, Zagora, Tamgroute, Agadir and Taghazout.
We are pleased to meet locals with whom we had a great time in the Agadir region.

We hope this will make you want to visit this exotic destination just 2 hours flight from France.
