Bob Haro / Béton Hurlant from Seb Satoorne on Vimeo.
Going through all the comments from people at the book signing last Saturday, I wound up finding a post on a French old school BMX facebook group I belong to. I took a couple moments to add the names I knew to some of the line-up photos he had on there. I posted my blog post as well, and wound up in a cross-ocean Facebook chat with Seb Ronjon. As much as I have trouble learning new technology, I love that fact that, in today's world, it's possible to stumble into a conversation with a like minded person 5,000 miles away. Amazing.
He turned me on to this video, from the Beton Hurlant exhibit in 2011, I believe, which never really got shared outside of France. Seb and friend Franck put on this amazing museum exhibit about BMX/freestyle, skateboard, and scooter culture in France, and then flew Bob Haro over to walk through and share his thoughts and insight on the exhibit.
This is 17 minutes, but definitely worth the watch, if you're an old school BMX racer, freestyler, or skateboarder. The exhibit is absolutely first class, very well set up and displayed, and Bob Haro's thoughts as he walks through and comments are great. Thank you Seb for sharing, and I'm glad to be able to show the U.S. bike world this video and exhibit. Great stuff.
