Euro scene with a STRONG showing in this! All the major players present along with some lesser known riders in the mix. Marc had a vision for this video and I’m loving the execution. Really captured the vibes, the good riding, and I’m really loving the excerpts from Crispy and Bean that were mixed in. Makes me wanna head back out that way ASAP to partake!!
After a year gap from the last Trickcat/Tricklocorss event in Grenoble, we woke up! This time we moved to one of the biggest cities in France – Lyon. Lyon is a city of few legendary spots (Everybody knows famous Lyon 25!) and legendary riders Gui and Lucas. Full thoughts, galleries, and results after the jump!

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING. GRAB SOME FOOD. WATCH THIS VIDEO.
25 minutes of Euro SHRED AND ANTICS. Youri, Ismael, Antoine, Finn, Ritchie, Crispy, Marinus, Edith. The star of the show in this one is Youri though. Watch as he conquers multiple European countries with no straps and usually no shirt either.
I’m loving this video from tip to tip and I have no doubt in my mind you’ll love it too. Easily the best series in fixie right now. GARAGEBOYZ 9 FOREVER.
Two events recently announced in the FGFS-sphere! First up on May 16th, Bigfoot Adam and Andy Sparks are at it again with the Bigfoot Oakland Freestyle comp! Going down at the wild Town Park in Oakland.

Then on June 20th and 21st, Jakub Bruch with FFF is throwing another Trickcat in Lyon! Keep up with the French Fixed Federation for more details on that one.

Louis from France gives us some tips on the very advanced Trick Track maneuver: the helicopter barspin keo!
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.
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.
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 (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.
