SOSH Urban Motion 2017 In Photos

From The Streets Of Paris

6 Nov 2017

Demarcus Paul and Doeby are such nice guys. It was a pleasure to have this World Wild Card team in Paris. Here he's doing a long feeble in the south of Paris, the hood of the Reno crew.

Another amazing line Jan did. Thanks a lot to Tom Kilcoyne for guiding them and the pics.

Jan Mihaly and Robin Kachfi won the Wild Card contest and got 2nd at the pro contest. They honestly blew my mind with their productivity and laid back attitude. Robin had to go back during the week in Germany to pass his driving licence, they still had tons of clips, even to do instagram clips during the week. Deutsch qualitat.

Jan and Robin making new friends.

The director checking the clips.

Those stablizers really helped to get steady footage.

Between filming a movie in the south of France and all his BMX duties, Matthias Dandois took the time to come a couple of days in Paris to guide some guys.

I knew that Julian Molina was good but see it in reality was a unbelievable. He has created his own way of riding where his handicap seems to not matter anymore. Kids in Aubervilliers were definitely impressed.

Julian, 270 on spot Ben Bello discovered a couple of minutes ago on the way of another spot.

Julian Molina.

Style for miles. Julian, Table top.

I'm so happy to have put those two together. Marmo and Julian never met before but at the end of the trip they were like brothers.

To take speed Julian has to push and pedal just after. Impressive and efficient.

I love this photo. Julian carves a sculpture in the north of Paris in front of Marmo who just pushed him to get speed.

Go Go Gadget Marmo. Marmo had a special tele-lens to put on the Iphone which was previously on his Ronin. Epic set up!

Julian has an prosthetic leg as well but it's useless for riding so he just shreds on one leg. What a dude.

WTF. Julian, flip in République plaza.

Pierre Mercier is an amazing guy, he helped us for the SUM by doing a thousand of thing. Thanks Pierre. A big up also to Heidi for being with us the whole week to!

Jesus had only one leg.

Julian Molina.

Bruno Hoffmann during the last minutes of daylight in the suburbs of Paris.

Bruno Hoffmann.

Thanks to all the Parisian locals that helped to guide the crews. Without them we would have seen the same five classic Parisian spots. Here Bruno is doing a tooth over in Maurepas, thanks to Poiss for showing us the spots !

Bruno in the east suburbs near a Jewish school.

Demarcus Paul.

Demarcus focusing.

Demarcus, barspin transfer from the right middle to the steep bank.

Ride/Film/Check clips. Repeat.

Demarcus ready to send it.

I still don't believe I took this photo in Paris on October 17th. Of all the SUM we did,between May and October, it was definitely the best weather we had. Not even a minute of rain in sight.

Doeby.

Tyler Fernengel and Rich Forne were favorites and they didn't disappoint. Tyler was coming off a back injury so he wasn't 100% back. It made me laugh that he said he prefers big stuff since you don't have to try it forever. Such an animal! This nose bonk feeble manual 180 bar is not bad either.

Barspin to X-up gap for breakfast by Tyler while someone is definitely missing the show.

Physio support by Mr Rich.

Squad.

That wallride seems too good not to try for Tyler.

La Defense : Hell on earth.

I guess Tyler didn't know Alex Valentino feeble to truck that sculpture for his ender in the 1st SUM. Same trick for the first and the last SUM, is it a coincidence ?

The man and the tool.

On every SUM we got the new iPhones which is awesome but since it is new the filming app crashes a lot...

I've always wanted to invite Joris, i'm glad it finally happened. With Romain Fel they did a great job.

Custom Iphone tripod.

... and a custom rig.

Joris and his Lazer vision... tire ride up and flat to 180 bar in Nanterre.

That area is know for being pretty sketchy ( Remember Catfish « Fuck France » during the Euro Megatour ?) but if you go at a decent time, be nice and pay attention it should be good.

Joris Coulomb.

Vincent Jokovic and Emeric Michon were the french Wild cards.

Unfortunatly Emeric got hurt the week end before at the Street Station so he couldn't ride 100%.

It's a wrap!

Sosh always organize amazing parties and this one was no exception with a cool rail setup Yan brought from his skatepark.

Demarcus Paul.

Our T Shirt sponsor Tealer had an amazing booth where you could choose the SUM pictures you wanted to print on a T Shirt.

Like this one. I felt a bit proud haha.

Libellule - pocket wall.

If Markus Wilke is watching you better do something good!

Da da da da DJ!

It was cool to see some of the SUM riders and filmers riding the spot.

Waiting in line.

Kwett in the center, Yann Colignon on the left and Hadrien Picard on the right, looking not tired at all.

Kwett is the best annoncer in the whole wide world!

The crowd watching the videos.

Such a pleasure to finally see the work of everyone. No competition, just friendship.

Marmo and Julian Molina.

"Thanks a lot to everyone who have made the Sosh Urban Motion a success. The riders, the filmers, (pro or not), during all these years that trusted us for the Pro contest & the Wild Card Contest. Yann Colignon who has been an amazing partner. The judges, it was not an easy task ! All the people that helped us, Heidi, the locals that were really cool to share their spots. 187 com for spreading the word to the mainstream audience. A big big up to Sosh and Sandy Alibo for everything they made for BMX. From sponsoring Matthias Dandois and Maxime Charveron, making Vlogs with them when it was not even called Vlogs, producing Antipodes and Until Tomorrow to organizing with Yann and myself the Sosh Urban Motion, they can be proud of them. Sosh's strategy is heading towards other things so this contest might... or might not be over." - Hadrien Picard
