Video: Michel Plonka Park Edit
Over the last winter, Michel Plonka rode his local indoor skatepark in order to test his The Rise Partymaster away from the cold canadian winter. Despite suffering from a few injuries slowing down the filming process, Michel Plonka still managed to stack some dope clips. Hit play for a mix of grinds, tech tricks and high speed stunts!
Bikecheck: Michel Plonka's Partymaster
Over the last few years, Michel Plonka pretty much kept the exact same setup on all his bikes. Aside from changing frame sponsors a few times, it seemed that he would keep his parts for as long as possible. One time, his stem bolts happened to strip as he was putting his bike together on a trip in Austria.

UT 26: The Rise X Made Of Stills
For the latest Unexpected Thursday episode, we had the chance to ride inside a studio. As promised two days ago, here are pictures and a video of the time we spent there. Everyone had a blast, big thanks to Julien Grimard and everyone at Made Of Stills for making this possible. Hit the READ MORE link below to see more photos and Unexpected Thursday 26 !
For the last one or two months, Julien kept talking about how sick it would be to go ride the studio where he works. He kept telling us that there is a super steep vertwall that they use for photoshoots, and how nice it would be to snap pictures and film there since its all white and clean. We were into the idea since the start, but never really thought about it that much. Until one day, he told us that the studio was moving to a new location shortly, so it was soon time to act. We talked about it for a bit, and one night we headed there with the bikes and all the shooting gear.So here we are, on the third floor of a big old building in Montreal, chillin' inside a studio. We wanted to shoot some casual pictures before we started to ride the said vertwall because it was just such a nice opportunity that we might never get again, so we rode the flatground for a bit:
Then, it was time to attack the prefectly white vertwall. We setted up everything and started to ride it. It was super steep, so it took a bit of time to get used to it, but it was sure worth the effort!
Here goes the video. Filmed and Edited by Louis Lhomel:
Everyone had fun there, and this wonderful piece of art occured
Big thanks to the guys at Made Of Stills for letting us do this and Julien Grimard for being awesome.
