Video: Balling out of Control

This summer, Louis Lhomel (NS Bikes), Parappa (NS Bikes) & Matt Macduff (Octane One) went on one of the most out of control trips they’ve been on in years! The goal was to explore key major cities in the province of Quebec other than Montreal. With a tight schedule (5 days) and variable weather, they chose to head up to the old and beautiful Quebec City and one of the best street riding cities they’ve hit yet, Sherbrooke.

 

 

Eventhough Quebec City had truly amazing street spots, it was flooded with security guards everywhere and made it really hard to film, so the boys didn’t stick there too long. On the road to Sherbrooke, they stumbled upon an abandoned quarry and couldn’t resist sending a couple gainers into it! Once they got to Sherbrooke everything just set into place; crazy street spots, no security guards and the best guide/best person ever, Pierre-Marc Tremblay! The boys were so stoked they called up Sam Croteau (NS Bikes) & Kent Woods (NS Bikes) to show up and shred for a day or two!

All in all, the trip’s unforgettable vibe represents the true friendship here at LamaCycles. We hope this video gives you the urge to trip around with your best friends in the winter and next summer to discover new destinations, great locals and build lifetime friendships! Enjoy!

Teaser: Just Ride

Our Octane One team rider – Paweł Turno has been featured in the new Just Ride video. Here is a teaser of the full movie which is to be released soon.

 

MTB Experiments at Turbopark in Bestwina

Turbopark is a very well known spot for everyone visiting southern Poland. Pawel Turno’s course every year draws a lot of big names for various competitions, jams or simply practice sessions. This time it was Dawid Godziek who decided to come to Bestwina with the video crew to shoot new edit during a little jam.

“If you’ve got a soft landing ramp, you’ll try just about anything on a mountain bike, and these guys DO. Dawid is visiting his friend’s backyard playground – Turbopark. It’s a training facility with a set of jumps, foampit and what’s most important – a soft resibox, which makes learning new tricks much easier for everyone. Beside Dawid, there’s a lot of other riders on the occasion of a little jam comp so you can expect a lot of crazy mountain bike tricks.

NS Bikes / Octane One Team – Malaga behind the scenes video

Although winter is just around the corner it doesn’t mean you have to put your bike away and wait till next year. There are places in Europe that offer good riding conditions year round.

One such place is Malaga in Spain. This is a true MTB mecca when it comes to off season riding. You may see pro riders practicing and testing their new setups for the upcoming season.

At the end of last year Sam Pilgrim (Official Sam Pilgrim Page), Maciek Kucbora, Marek Łebek (Octane One) and the video / photo crew spent a few days in Malaga doing some product shoots. Check out what went on behind the scenes.
