Ceremony (excerpt) from NUAGE BMX on Vimeo.

“One night, after a long afternoon of riding, my friend Koichi (alias Forkone) started trying a new movement on the bike.
I began to try it too and we started to get into a loop together, putting ourselves in a “flatrance” mood (flatland transe).
Hidenori set the atmosphere, playing the Kalimba along with the rain and our energy.
Taku and Frankie were also actors of this protocol, as they were attentive to the action, as much as the riders.

Without any actual verbal organization, an implicit ceremony was set, everyone playing his role.
Five people focused on the realization of one movement and the tension before it.
I just asked Koichi: “we can film?!””
