Bromont, QC;
Salut ! It's been at lease 2 weeks since I had the chance to sit down at home and relax. I decided I should take this
opportunity to do a little wrap up about my last two weeks. I first wanted to put one big report together, but when thinking about it,
I've got way too much stuff to write about!!! Among racing and coaching, I was lucky enough to participate in a couple of TV shows
and some photoshoots (biking and modeling), so I'll try to put a couple of updates about all this later on this week.
Ride Guide
Two weeks ago in Bromont, I had the chance to film for an episode of the popular TV show; Ride Guide. The crew was in the province for one
of the most important cyclist event in America; the Mont Ste-Anne Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. Meanwhile they were doing a coverage
on the different bike activities of the Bromont region.

Yes, Sketchers sandals are excellent for downhill

Biking in Bromont
My role was to share with the public all the bike features that Bromont has to offer. We sometimes take it for granted, but when you think about it,
we are very fortunate to have all those bike infrastructures around here. Bromont has a national level BMX track, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic game
velodrome, the National Cyclist Center, a ski resort with 2 chairlifts opened during the summer with at lease 15 downhill trails and numerous
cross country trails and some nice cycle paths all around the region. All this within an hour of drive from Montreal, the best city in Canada!!! Well,
at lease during the summer... hehehe ;)

Quiet... Tony is on the air

Great success
The guys were initially coming here to make only one episode of their week in Bromont and Ste-Anne, but there were so much to shoot and talk about that
they will probably make two episodes about it. My buddy Antoine Aubert Larose (Commencal Drop Machine) also participated in the show. We did some nice
action footage on different trails of the mountain to show people the different terrain that the mountain has to offer. We filmed for a day and half, so
we have a lot of cool shots! I'm not sure when it will be televised, but I'll let you know when the time comes.
