“Above the Wall is a video where balance and vertigo are the keywords. Aurélien Fontenoy, the VTT Trial vice-champion in 2012 and 2013 performs amongst the ruins of Mount Jalla and in the woods of the Bastille overlooking Grenoble!”

Another Masterpiece by Quentin Chaumy

As a mountain bike rider, I have gained an appreciation for many things. I now look at light, soil, trees, water differently. Sometimes, I rush up to the neighborhood hills and I am without a bike. I am armed with my eyes and a camera. My goal is to remember and capture what I see when the light, the landscape and the forest interact. It has given me a new perspective about the area where I live and the places I visit.

Such insight is present here with Quentin Chaumy who is only twenty years young. Check out his work as I’m sure we’ll see much more from him.
