Sliding down the ramps, jumping in the air, chaining tricks… that's the passion of BMX. Like any good little brother, Thomas followed in the footsteps of his eldest in the skateparks. After several training sessions between siblings, he chained good results with many podiums.
From English “Bicycle motocross”
“This sport consists of performing tricks with a bicycle: in the air or on the ground, using modules or taking inspiration from what we have around us in the street. There are several styles of BMX practice. In general, these are planned sequences of figures but which always end in improvisation. »
A spectacular sport
“It is an activity that is practiced more particularly in skateparks or in adapted structures. But you can also practice in the street, taking inspiration from street furniture to perform sequences. A skatepark can be enough but with experience, we always try to go further and change terrain.
In Cluses, for the moment, there is no skatepark, so we practice “street” (in the street). It helps a lot, for example, to project yourself and have a different vision of the street and urban furniture. »
Sacred pedal stroke
“In 2020, I had a 2nd place in a “BOWL” event in Marseille. It's a special year and almost all competitions have been canceled.
Otherwise, in 2019, I finished 6th at the “Fise” of Montpellier Street Pro, 5th at the “BMX Cluses Contest” and 3rd at the “Freestyle Cup”. »
More projects for the future
“I had the chance to join the Cluses town hall to be able to carry out several projects for the city with them. The idea is to develop urban cultures and this type of activity, particularly for young Clusians… and non-Clunisians! Several projects are currently underway and should see the light of day soon!
