Cedric Gracia Unplugged
2007-06-06 00:02:00
Frontline Magazine has a great candid interview with the French philosopher Cedric Gracia on slopestyle, skinsuits and prostitutes in racing. From www.frontlinemag.net: He's probably extreme mountain bikings most colourful and popular figure. From slopestyle to 4X to downhill racing – he's done it all at top level.

The guys from NWD Films are back at it again. This time shooting in Green River Utah for Robbie Bourdon, Geoff Gulevich and Kurt Sorge's spots for the upcoming NWD VIII. "So we just got back from being in Green River, Utah for 2 weeks and it was one hell of a trip. Bourdo and I drove the 16 hours down to the desert and met up with Gully, T-Sage, and Axel. We got there and it started a little rough whem Gully tried driving up a big steep hill on Axel's quad and it flipped. It rolled about 15 times and smashed into a ditch. The same morning Broudo tried driving his mini bike into the back of his truck and the ramp slid out . He ran into the tail gate and the ramp smashed him in the shoulder."
