Wheels and Waves 2015 Part 1

Nous l'avons attendu, Nick Clements (Mensfile) l'a réalisé, voici la première partie de notre film Wheels and Waves 2015.
Finally done... we proudly present the first part of our Movie done by Nick Clements
This year Wheels & Waves hosted a vast range of styles and disciplines in motorcycle design, styling, building, riding and fun racing. There was also art, music and an impressive market place. Unfortunately, the surf was flat.
To encapsulate all this in one movie would be difficult so we have chosen the theme of PEOPLE to illustrate the diversity of attitudes and ideas present over the four days and then made the film in two parts.
PART TWO will be out in August 2015

Cette année Wheels & Waves confirme son écléctisme et sa volonté de présenter tous les genres dans le design et le style motocycliste. Le ride et la course sont aussi des composants essentiels de l'événement, sans oublier l'exposition Artride, les concerts et le village de la Cité de l'Océan. Malheureusement le surf était absent pour faute de vagues.
Nous commençons ici avec un premier film ou le réalisateur s'est attaché à la description de cette diversité au travers d'interviews.
La deuxième partie sera présentée en Aout 2015

The Wheels and Waves festival 2015 was extraordinary for its bikes, its racing, its art, its music, its style, but most of all its people. This eight minute film takes you through the first two days of the happening.

People of the Winter Ride

A few friends and bikes head toward Biarritz
Each March, as the first step towards the Wheels & Waves festival in June, the Southsiders invite 50 people for a winter ride through the Pyrenees. This year there were high level bike builders, hard riders and cool human beings from around the globe and they all went over the high passes from France to Spain.  Some went fast, some went less-fast, one almost got his balls burned off by a lithium battery. Southsiders wanted to feature all 50 but there was no time.

The First Step to the Wheels & Waves Fourth Edition

The Southsiders' Winter Ride

Wheels & Waves is not an 'event' but a meeting of friends from around the world in a celebration of motorcycle culture, surfing, art, design, good food and great times. The early spring, Winter Ride across the snowy Pyrenees is always the first step towards the big June meeting. Illustrated here, with a short film from Men's File's Nick Clements and some photography from the talented Laurent Nivalle, a multitude of motorcycle styles and diverse riders come together to ride, eat, laugh and ride some more.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP!
