‘MUCHACHO DE BARRIO’ BMX / Gaspar Guendulain part.
BSD BMX: We’re super hyped to share Gaspar Guendulain’s section from Maxi’s (Maximiliano Coca) ‘Muchacho de Barrio’ — a full-length BMX film that dropped earlier this month. Here are a few words from Gaspar about the project: “Muchacho de Barrio” is a video we filmed in Córdoba, Argentina — a mixtape featuring many friends from across the country. I’m really stoked about how this video turned out. Maxi (Maximiliano Coca) has done an incredible job – it’s something that hasn’t been done before in Argentina with this level of detail and effort. It’s an amazing contribution to the scene, immortalising these moments forever. My part was filmed by both Maxi and Hernán Rimoldi, another filmmaker I had the pleasure of working with. I’m beyond happy with the result. Believe it or not, out of all the places I’ve been in the world, Córdoba has been the most challenging for me to film in. It’s landscapes are incredibly harsh—trust me, haha. I’m extremely proud to be part of this video and to have so many riders involved. Only we truly understand what those days of fun in the streets meant to us, and capturing these unforgettable moments in our lives is something special. I’m super grateful for Maxi’s work, to BSD and Vans for their support, and to everyone who contributed to this project born in Córdoba, Argentina!”
