Setting off for Mexico in March 2021, Kilian Bron rode his bike over a wide range of spots in this Central American country. From still-active volcanoes to colorful alleyways, discover "Colors of Mexico".
A true mountain-biking globetrotter, Kilian Bron takes us along on his latest video project in Mexico (to be discovered at the bottom of the article). The Private Sport Shop ambassador set off for this Central American country in March 2021, accompanied by Pierre Henni, director, videographer and editor, Pierre Dupont, FPV drone expert, and Benjamin Durand, production assistant and local of the stage.
After "Our Tour de France" shot in France and " Follow The Light "Kilian Bron has now flown to Mexico for a new short film and book entitled "Colors of Mexico". The 29 year old rider arrived in the middle of the dry season in a country that offered him and his team a palette of new colors and a range of possibilities, to ride to the extreme on all types of terrain and capture it all in pictures.
"Through our videos, we artistically showcase unusual places where I'm lucky enough to be able to ride," explains the Commencal rider. "My daily life is simply riding my bike in the middle of nowhere. And it all makes sense when the public discovers what goes on behind the scenes, when we share all that we can experience when we travel to the four corners of the world."
In this 4'30'' video, Kilian Bron shows us the richness of the country through a multitude of fast-paced spots. With original music by Léo Lunel and Perrine Le Guennec, "Colors of Mexico" moves from the colorful facades of Guanajuato's houses to the high-perched volcanoes of Popocatepetl (5,300 meters above sea level) and Colima, through agave fields and pine forests, along the old funicular railway at Barranca De Huentican and along the Pacific coast.
"You can't sum up a trip simply by adding up the places visited," adds Kilian. "Most of our memories are of moments shared with the local population. We were lucky enough to meet some wonderful people, and that's what we remember most about Mexico! No matter what the circumstances, we were welcomed and helped in the best way."
Alongside the film, the French driver and his team have also published a photo book. An intimate, humorous account of the behind-the-scenes aspects of the organization. The book recounts the anecdotes and happy surprises he had to come to terms with. But above all, Kilian Bron tells how finding your true passion can transform your life.
