Louis Trognon – Bike Checks

Two bike checks coming from Louis! Both on Pride Street bikes but one on 700c and the other has a 650b setup. The 650b actually looks really good on a 700c frame! Nice tricks at the end of both of these too. Been saying this, but Louis is quickly rising the ranks on my fav riders list.

Louis Trognon – Radio Bombtrack Bike Check + Riding

Remember the name Louis Trognon. Louis is the future and the truth.

Louis goes over his rare 2012 26″ Radio Bombtrack build then shreds some serious flat ground on it. It’s suuuper rare to see someone riding a 26″ build like its a 700c Trick Track build, but here Louis is doing some mind melting tricks on a vintage bike. That last line is ridiculous. I kept thinking he was getting greedy but he kept pulling tricks off.

Lucas Sentou – New Bike Day

Poney got himself a Volume Cutter! The bike fits him perfectly and he looks really comfortable on it. He hits some absolutely mind melting fish + chip combos throughout this whole thing. He’s becoming a really well rounded rider too, all the non fish + chip tricks are looking really good. I can’t understand what he’s saying but it’s still a fun watch!

Lucas Sentou – Il est né le Divin Divide

Lucas (aka Poney) just dropped this awesome build + ride video for a bike that I’m extremely familiar with, the Bombtrack Divide. Although the whole video is in French, I was still extremely entertained the whole way through. He got the Divide after breaking his Thrasher frame (a difficult thing to do) and builds it up in his chaotic mad scientist looking apartment, which I really enjoy seeing.

As far as Lucas’ riding goes, this is the best form of his riding so far, by far. This frame must have unlocked something in him because his riding looks 10x cleaner on this than it did with his Thrasher. Hope the frame doesn’t break on him too quickly because it’s definitely helping him progress.

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!

Poney Factory – Thrasher V1 La fin d’un réve

The French viking aka Poney aka Lucas Sentou just dropped this fun little build and ride video of his Thrasher V1, which he says goodbye to at the end of this video because he broke it. RIp Poney’s Thrasher, you served him well. 🫡

Lucas Sentou – AUCHPARTUNG

The fixed gear viking Lucas aka Poney putting in some real work!! You know I love me a proper horizontal edit. I’ve been watching Poney’s trick journey and it’s been a fun one to witness. Going from insane fish + chips combos to some proper FGFS moves isn’t always the easiest transition but Lucas is pushing through and really making some progress. You know that 180 bar ender felt good. Keep pushing it Lucas!!

Side note, he was gracious enough to donate a bunch of prizes for the recent comp through his cycling softgoods company Poney Factory. Upcycled belts, straps, and more, go check them out!

Olvoween 2024 Contest

Olvotricks contest just went down in France after the Olvoween alleycat and there were some shredders throwing down! Some new names now on my radar and some familiar ones holding it down. Some highlights for me include Vitto’s fish n chip combo at 6:28, Lyonzon’s smooth style, and Mark’s aggressive consistency. I think Mark is now one of my favorite Trick Track riders, especially after meeting him and riding with him in the Netherlands. Oh and of course Jakub does his usual slaying. Fun stuff with some great energy!
