The dynamic duo of Dillon Lloyd and Justin Hughes deliver a hefty new video filmed over the past year by Vlad Poloukhine & Arnaud Paquin. Edited by Grant Castelluzzo.
For this week video, Jemcee called us and ask us to teach him how to ride a bmx bike! At first, he wanted to learn how to do a barspin but he realized really quickly that it was much harder than he expected. So we decided to show him the basic bmx skills and bike control first.
This year for the first time ever FISE Montpellier goes fully digital. 7 Sports, 12 Disciplines and 46 Categories will feature in this unprecedented contest. Whether in BMX, Skateboard, Roller, Wakeboard, Parkour, Breaking or Scooter, the 2000+ athletes who usually attend the event, are instead invited to participate by submitting videos to the e-fise.com/montpellier web platform which has been specially developed for this experience.

Do you remember the day that you were offered to come up with your own frame at Crupi Bikes?
Federico Villegas: Yes, around May 2019 I was looking for improvement areas. I always focused more on my body than my bike, but then I realized there were some things to be done that could make my bike fit better to my riding. I suggested to Greg that I needed something extra on my frame design and he said yes right away.
Did you already know exactly what you wanted at that point?
Federico Villegas: I had some ideas but I had to study a lot on frame geometry to come up with a frame that works the best. I also knew we had room to improve in components, for with myself and Crupi are very excited to add the new disc brake mount, along with the Quad disc brake hub on the rear and the 20mm quad hub in the front, plus some nice Ikon carbon rims.
