Two generations of French flatland! Alexis Desolneux & Matthias Dandois.
The Rebel jam crew worked hard early this morning to get the floor finished and branded ready for practise today. Mike S and Roman on hand to get the floor painted and branded before the riders arrived for practise! The sun is shining, it’s been a lovely day in Tossa del Mar! Laidback vibes at the Eurocamp, an amazing facility here in Sunny Spain. This place literally has everything, but fast wi-fi. Tomorrow is the contest, that looks like it will be a straight final, with about 20 riders in attendance. The riders have been out there on the flatland floor since about 2pm, enjoying the spanish sunshine. This place feels like paradise. I’m off back down to the beach, enjoy the updates. Livefeed tomorrow. Will post the link in the morning!
Just arrived in Tossa del Mar from the 2012 Rebel Jam! Myself and James Smith made the short flight from London Gatwick this morning, the Rebel jam crew including Mike S and Frank Lucas are down at the beach working on the flatland area. What a beautiful setting! More updates tomorrow!
I’m heading off to the Rebel jam this morning. This year the event moves to Tossa del Mar, just north of Barcelona! It’s sure to be mayhem. Check out this edit by AG Parkin, which was pretty much the best edit to come out from last years event. I’m intrigued what this year will have in store. Keep an eye on Saturday for the livefeed, I am judging this time so live commentary from me.
