Snapshots - Eclat in Cyprus

35mm kebab life with Bruno Hoffmann, Alex Kennedy and Kilian Roth

More impressed...
Standard procedure on any trip.
Kilian dodging through the lemon trees to get a clip.
Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Alex Kennedy all discussing why they put chips in your kebabs.
There’s a reason AK was scoping around up there, just wait for the video.
Late on in the trip we needed some down time so we drove out to see what Cyprus had to offer. Aphrodite’s rock was nice to look at for all of 4 minutes and then you realize it’s a bit like looking at a google image search.
Not impressed...
Cypriots love their Kebabs and Gyros, I like them too but usually after 8 pints, 2 whiskeys and a Sambuca and I always regret it instantly. It’s like I’ve just cheated on good food and the guilt just rots me to the core. This was the first food stop and it wasn’t the last.
Weird school we had the locals take us to, the school gangs were obviously big on writing the word rave as it was everywhere.
Watch out for this kid, he’s savage and took one hell of a beating on the first day. He seemed to bounce off the floor as well.
What else are you going to write?
A spot we found while cruising Larnaca one day, nice little out rail. The photo may give the impression of a warm and calm day, but it was horribley windy. At one point Rich’s hat flew off his head and travelled at about 70mph down the road. It looked liked a scene from a comedy film. Kilian got his trick in the bag and we moved on.
Some days Bruno just likes to blend in.
I’ve always thought that street riding never has enough Donkeys at the spot. It’s always dogs, cats, never Donkeys.
If I remember this was taken around the same time or minutes before an old chap tried to spank Fred with his belt.
Kilian found this little spot tucked away in Nicosia and made it look all too easy.
The cats came to our apartment day by day until the day we were leaving when around 12 of them surrounded our front door. Not creepy at all.

Intro and photos by Paul Robinson

Cyprus exists somewhere south of Greece. It's a small island inhabited by Russians, Greeks, Turkish and the British to name a few. If someone asked me about the spots I'd tell them it was good, if someone asked me about the culture, I'd say I wasn't sure and If someone asked me if it had any kiosks selling bits of crystal rock, soap, cans of baked beans, single cigarettes and empty shelves then I'd say yes. We decided to take Alex Kennedy, Bruno Hoffmann and young gun Kilian Roth there to film with Rich Forne for an Éclat edit and shot a few rolls of 35mm while in between looking for kiosks to buy cans of Mr. Browns.
