Red Bull Fight with Flight!
Fat Tony did an awesome job on the ride website covering the event, including an awesome recap, I don't even need to write something! Just go and check it there: RIDE BMX
I was really sick a day before the contest and definitely didn't feel good at all during the contest day. I won the qualification but I got beat up in my first battle against Moto Sasaki who fucking killed it!
It's just really motivating for me to see my "contest" tricks aren't working all the time and I gotta spend hours at my spot working on new ones as soon as I'll be home!
I would just give a huge big up to the organiser James (Red Bull), Alan and Jake and everyone being involved in this event, that was such a good time! and of course special shout out to Terry Adams and Fat Tony, I had a great time hanging out with you guys!
Peace out, see you in Jomopro!!!!

Indianapolis Day Three
Well I'm writing the day three eventhought It's already the day four!
Whatever, thursday night I couldn't sleep cause I was keep throwing up from food intoxication I think... heheh
So I was feeling really shitty yesterday! But we had plenty of stuff going on so I had to take it over.
We did many photo and video shoot with Nick Shrunk who is the awesome Red Bull Photographer. I also did some stuff with Fat Tony (Ride Bmx) Including a Bike Check and a How to tricks (They actually have a contest on ride bmx twitter, you have to guess the trick!).
We eventually went to a school to do a show for Red Bull. I was so pumped since It was the first time I was doing a show in America and also the first show I did with my buddy Terry Adams! Everything went so perfect, the kids were stoked! Awesome.
After the show I was really feeling like a piece of junk so I couldn't make it to the prejam at the plane hangar... I rested all night long a today I feel better and I'm going to ride the contest!
Keep in Touch!!!!
Interview for Red Bull
Ride Bmx How to!
Plane wing!! my dream!
Show at school
Autograph session! I'll never understand that though... :)
SUPER big up to Fat Tony who took all these photos with his Iphone for the blog!

Indianapolis Day Two
What a day!
It started really early this morning (7am) due to the jetlag. Dom Nekolny, TJ Perry, Cory Fester, Percy and I went to Wendy's to have a big American breakfast. Back to the hotel Dom and I went to the fitness center to stay fit :) afterward we hang out a bit and went to eat. I eventually met Terry Adams on his room and Fat Tony joined us a bit later.
We all headed to the pre jam at the Red Bull warehouse downtown Indianapolis. The guys at Red Bull were kind enough to let us ride inside their warehouse and it was awesome! Many pros are here so expect some big times at the contest Saturday! I filmed and shot some videos and photos with Fat and then we head back home. Well, listen:
Alan (the organiser) took us (Terry Adams, Fat Tony, Dominik Nekolny, TJ Perry, Tyler Gilliard and I) along with our bikes in his car. On the motorway it started to smell like burn and some smoke was going off the engine!! We stopped on the side, wait for a few minute and decided to go back since the hotel was only 3 miles away. Everything went fine untill we heard a weird funny noise, like if we had a flat tire, and then the car caught on fire! Smoke everywhere in the cabin, everybody freaked out, Alan had a really nice reflex to go on the side of the motorway. But hey that's not it! The door was locked so I kept on screaming on Tyler to open that fuckin door because the car was going to blow up! ahah we end up on the side of the motorway calling 911, Alan's car burning in front of us with all our bikes and life inside. Luckily the fire stopped by itself before the firemens arrived. Everything was fine, we could get to the hotel! What a story!
We eventually went to eat some American food at Steak'n'Shake which was pretty awesome! Now it's bed time, tomorrow's gonna be a long day.
Shout out to Alan Young who did everything right while his car was getting crazy, thanks for it bro'
Peace!
Huge omelette for Breakfast Yummy!

Japan Holidays!
It's holiday time after the big contest that went down. I stay at Ucchie's house with Adam, his girlfriend and Momo. We basically spend our days shopping and practice, and our night partying. Pretty easy game! There was a good after contest jam at the Setagaya park spot where Viki and Jesse killed it! We eventually went to a big party that ended up at 8 a:m! ahaha Good time I tell you.
Check out the pix!

World Classic!
The contest took place yesterday! Maybe the most polemical but definitely one of the best I entered in my life!
OMG the level was soo high I can't believe it. The first battle I had to do was against Shinde, he pulled some good stuff like bunny hop to steam roller and all his original tricks, but I guess I was more dialed. Then It was the turn of Schinchi Kiba, the G-Turn wiplash machine who obviously practiced a lot for the contest!! He was a lil nervous so he did a few mistake.
The semi-final was against Hiro Morisake. Hiro is definitely a funny guy to hang out with, so Imagine what's like to ride with him! He did some crazy air tricks but I didn't touch so I won.
The final was against Viki Gomez. I never had to battle against him, We told eachother we were kinda virgin on that :)
The Spanish machine did really good! He pulled all thoses complicated front wheel stuff I can't explain :) I rode good and I pulled my new tricks at the end, Halfcab 360 to halfcab bunny whip so it helped out :)
I'm sostoked, that was definitely one of my 2010 goal to win this contest, Now its HOLIDAY time in Tokyo! Gotta spend my prize money on shopping useless stuff! ahahah
BIG BIG BIG thanks to Yasu who handled all this craziness!!!

VANS
Hey Hey tout le monde. Et voilà après 3 années passé chez Adidas, je roulerai avec des Vans aux pieds en 2010. Le fait de rouler avec des bonnes shoes c'est déjà super cool, mais quand vous regardez les gars du team BMX avec moi (Alex Valentino, Jeremy Muller, Anthony Lille...) vous savez que ça va être une année complétement dingue. Moi je sens qu'on va se fendre la gueule! Allez et en cadeau, pour fêter ça, Une super web vidéo réalisée par Alex "Mayol" Barret et un beau wallpaper shootée par Wakang histoire de faire le beau gosse avec votre fond d'écran. La bise et à très bientôt!
I wanted to let everybody know that after 3 years riding for Adidas, I'm joining the VANS team for 2010! I'm so pumped, my team mates (Alex Valentino, Jeremy Muller and Anthony Lille) are 3 awesome rider and easy going guys so I can't wait to see what madness is going to hapen in 2010! To celebrate this good news, here is a super cool edit shot and edited by Alex "Mayol" Barret and a wallpaper to make your screen look good, shot by Julien "Wakang" Scheubel. Stay Tunned!!
