Amour Projekt – Unrestricted Motion Ep. 3

French media producer amour projekt just dropped the 3rd episode of Unrestricted Motion featuring most of the key players in the French scene like Ismael, fakijoe, and Guillaume alongside Fixated’s Youri. Short but fun project with some park, street, and flatland clips in the mix with some nice filming and cool editing. MIssed out on the first couple installments in this series so I’ve linked them below also. Keep these coming!

Marc Murré – Welcome to AfterSpin

A new challenger appears! Although this is my first time hearing about Marc, he is clearly not new to the scene. AfterSpin is Paris’ latest fixed gear collective and crew ran by El Fakijoe. Already, their style is being clearly established and characterized by high quality, clean production. I’m really into it.

Marc’s riding is similar to Elfakie’s, which we all know and love. It’s clean, simple, and incredibly stylish. Sometimes, you don’t need the fanciest tricks in the world to make impact. AfterSpin describes him as a rising star though, which in my opinion means he’s still learning and likely has much more skill he can develop, which is very exciting. Look our for Marc in the future and I look forward to seeing what AfterSpin keeps pushing. Great job all around.

Bordeaux Jam 2023

Ismael recently hosted the “Bordeaux Jam 2023” and while turnout was relatively quiet, it looked like a fun time so I’d call that a success. They even got Australia’s Max Corcoran to join the fun! Ismael and others are doing good work to try to build up the scene out there, you love to see it. More and more events have been popping up on the low. We just had this one, Ritchie is throwing one over summer in Holland, there’s one going down in Sacramento in July, and of course we’ll be hosting one towards the end of the year. Exciting times!

Max Corcoran – Need for Spin

Max out of Australia recently went on a huge Euro tour and met up with France’s own El Fakijoe. As we know, Fakijoe is nice with a camera so he shot this nice long piece with Max. Some killer mixed with some artsy, overall done really well. Shows some personality from Max that Instagram lacks. Important to note that Max is entirely on other people’s bikes for this video and still handles business. Beautiful shots and riding, take a look.
