Trial 85

The Rebirth of Trial

1985. Riding his Fantic Trial bike, Thierry Michaud brings the Italian brand its very first world championship title. It’s an historic victory and captures the imagination of an entire generation, making Michaud and the bike the stuff of legends.

Among those captivated by Michaud’s victory is a young Julien Dupont, the future pioneer of freestyle trial and the face of early Red Bull films.

The son of a trial rider, Julien grows up in a bedroom plastered with posters of riders and their bikes, watches  VHS tapes of motorcycle riding on loop and dreams of world championship glory.

Forty years later, Julien Dupont in collaboration with VELDT now turns back the clock to pay homage to this golden age of trials with a video steeped in the nostalgia of the 1980s, featuring a fully restored original Fantic, authentic vintage outfits in the pop colors of the Memphis movement, and all the retro magic of an era when trial became iconic.
