FOCUS ON THE 4 FILMS :
Pursuing the Midnight Sun
Directed by Augustin Jouan – 13 min
Produced by : Les Magiciens Productions
Athletes : Adrien Paynel – Augustin Jouan – Elton Vejux – Hussain Nas – Oscar Clevô – Bobo Šefrna – Lukas Kouba – Jirka Kneifl
A group of riders sets off in pursuit of the magical northern phenomenon known as the midnight sun. This journey, at once contemplative and frenetic, becomes a luminous odyssey through the Scandinavian roads. A quest on the edge of dreams, carried by the light that never sleeps.
Diciembre
Directed and produced by Diego Poncelet – 20 min
Athletes : Esneider ‘Diciembre’ Osorno
Esneider, nicknamed ‘Diciembre’, leaves Medellín for Mallorca with a dream: to skate by the sea. Somewhere between raw poetry and the philosophy of the moment, this introspective film explores the link between freedom and death, with the sea as the ultimate horizon.
Flow Vision
Directed by Ambroise Trauet (athlete) – 16 min
Ambroise sets off in search of the state of ‘flow’ – those suspended moments that every rider seeks to rediscover. From the most challenging roads in Europe to personal reflections, this film is as much an inner journey as a sporting one. A sincere tribute to rare sensations.
Eurotruth
Directed and produced by Professional Kids – 43 min
Athletes : Thies Thies – Robert De Ortueta – Jan Nogueras – Albert Fores – Pol Lleti – Nicola Marty
Six friends, a Seat Ibiza, a van full of boards, zero plans. ‘Eurotruth’ is the joyous chaos of a Euro Tour turned epic. Between absurdity and tenderness, this film retraces a summer of riding, sweat and laughter. It’s freedom in the raw, with knee pads as your only reference points.
