Words: Commencal

Some partnerships are just obvious, and it was just a matter of time until we welcomed the one and only Tomas 'Lil Moine' Lemoine to the COMMENCAL family!

At the age of 26, with one of the most recognizable styles on a slopestyle bike, Tomas has decided to take a different direction in his career, to work more on his personal expression in a different way. With all his mind-blowing Crankworx Slopestyle runs and countless Speed and Style battles in the bag already, he will make the switch to focus more on riding with zero restraints.

bigquotesI have always been a fan of COMMENCAL and the image that the brand conveys. My career is taking a slightly more freeride turn and I think that it's time to do great things together!—Tomas Lemoine

Being able to duplicate his skills and creativity over onto a single crown big rig equals a great match for us. It’s a match with our vision of modern mountain biking. As we are constantly chasing for the craziest trails and remote locations for the purest riding, having such a dedicated performer aboard is the best possible way to push the boundaries of this genre of the sport.

 That's how I read it. We'll start seeing him at more hardline, fest and hopefully rampage style events. Proving grounds. Etc. I think with the current state of slope you'll start to see more and more guys do this... including the guys that are consistently on the podium.

 Tomas, reach out if you're ever at the Golden, CO Commencal office. I'd love to buy you a beer or six. I'm looking forward to all of your future ring endeavors. Congratulations.

 The most unreliable frames I've ever ridden. Problem is they're cheap, and ride well. Just happy I caught the cracks on the first frame, and the bend in the second frame before they fucked me up. Cool to see Tomas sign with them though, they seem to treat their riders well enough.
