Alex Jumelin for St. Martin

I've watched this video 3 times now and I'm so impressed by his riding that I had to say more. Alex has always been the king of style, and I give huge amounts of respect not only for his riding now, but for how he continues to completely re-invent himself as a rider. This was incredible on different levels. The technicality is huge, and also the originality. He really has developed the new style in flatland, and this video is proof. Thank you Alex!

When we planed to film this video, we were supposed to get all clips in one day but our wonderfull summer has decided otherwise and send us some rain at every session so we finally filmed it in 3 times just before Alex leaves Paris to the USA.
