The streeter TMS / TribalZine Nicolas Moreau launched the idea of a solidarity operation in order to give him a good bike to help advance and send to the passage of supplies to the island trialists. Thibaut Marriaux immediately joined the idea and has structured and launched the project with TMS-Bikevision. It has decided to provide a framework TMS Combo kit streeter to become the flagship of the Malagasy trial and makes a call to equipment donations to equip and also help other trialists of Madagascar! You have parts that not serve you in your garage and might help a trialist in need, so why not send them to TMS Urban Shop ! A call for financial donations is also launched to fund the postage to this page: TMS / SolidaritéTrialMadagascar . Initially, the idea is to equip the Combo 24 at best, to send some useful pieces together, and if gear donations tributary to conduct a larger shipment by boat.

Tribal Zine will participate in this operation by providing parts, jerseys and taking over part of the shipping costs. Dada thank in advance all the trialists who will mobilize to help and wanted to send us to pass all his most sincere thoughts for Marion on his part and that of all the trialists of Madagascar.

I guess it's because he's doing it on his own, having to weld his bike up when it breaks, etc.?

It seems they were asking for people to donate money to them towards it - maybe that ended up being less popular than they expected?

I think he'd be above average, if we had to ride in sandals instead of bike specific shoes and had his bike complete with quill stem and steel 25" riser bars then our riding would suffer a bit.

Most kids here would just flat out refuse to ride that bike.

I like his attitude, the whole vibe there is fun, the opposite of a comp video.

We spend our time arguing with each other about frame names and the latest carbon parts while this guy is scraping together the absolute sketchiest bike just so he can go out and ride. That's what makes him awesome. I challenge anyone to ride with a f**king quill stem on their trials bike in 2015.

He's also awesome for being a pioneer. Imagine that you're the first and possibly the only person in your country to ride street trials. It's reminds me of the movie 'Cool Runnings' about the Jamaican bobsled team.

Well said that man!

And yes, yes it does! :D

I think instead of donating money, parts would be a better idea. I'd happily donate a frame but then non of his parts would fit on.

Thumbs up for sure (Y)

That's the riding scene to be jealous of.

The middle east and asian riders have videos on youtube too. They do some (not trials) awesome stuff, on beaten bikes. Admittedly the music is horrendous (as is most in videos nowadays :P ), but they do some wacky cool stuff.
