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.

Bobby Burge: SOLO

Some of these clips were used in Watch Out For Robots! by Steve Lapsley. Steve had this to say:

“Well over a year ago work on Watch Out For Robots started. Bobby Burge enlisted Jim McKay to film his part. During the making of WOFR Bobby’s father passed away. This could have discouraged anyone to give up on the project. Instead, Bobby proceeded to put together the culmination of his entire riding career on film. His section of the video has become one of the highlights and most talked about sections of the film. However, it’s only a fraction of what Bobby and Jim put together while filming. This complete edit features not just clips used for WOFR but the unused clips, crashes, outtakes and everything in between.

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!
