Brandon Fenton: BMX Banter Podcast
For many of us, winter is fast approaching and there is more time in the day to listen to podcasts and what not. With that being said, the latest episode of the BMX Banter podcast just dropped with Brandon Fenton.
I just got done listening to this episode this morning, great to hear Brandon’s story, his early riding stories, how he met Chase Gouin, filming eclips with Chase, moving to Toronto, an interesting conversation about where flatland is at and a whole lot more.
When you have the time, this is worth tuning in for

Rest in Peace: Thomas Seigneur 1980-2023
The world of BMX is sad.
Our friend Thomas Seigneur (Lord in English) passed away a week and half ago, the age of 43.
Thomas was appreciated by all, how could he be otherwise: he was a great guy. Dedicated to the cause of BMX, his family, very generous always there, ready to give a hand.
This year, despite the illness he was always there with me to assemble the flat area (Caen bmx indoor – Astrolabe 10 – U2R) a guy in gold.
Passionate and collector of bmx he was an real encyclopedia on bmx parts.
On the contest you could see him with all his family each with his bmx, his three daughters are riding flatland.
He is one of those people who pull you up, make your life better.
His passing already leaves a huge void, jam, contest and other sessions will never have the same flavor.
Courage to the family.
For him, let’s keep riding.
Thank you for all my friend.
Jean Michel Chauvel.

Matthias Dandois: Magic Box
Matthis Dandois teamed up with Alex Valentino during the summer to shoot this new “Magic Box” edit for Vans. This beautifully shot, and the audio with the tyres gripping the asphalt really gripped me into this one, no pun intended. The banger, backwards no handed spinning switch foot mega spin half whopper to xft inside steam at 3:27, wow! Go watch this one now, if you haven’t already!
