Because I Love It

A Pas Normal Studios Film - featuring Axel Cruysberghs

Growing up in Belgium, the bicycle was an integrated part of everyday life for professional skater Axel Cruysberghs.

That changed when he relocated to California. All of a sudden, it was four wheels when skating and four wheels when getting around the city too.

But now the bike is back - fuelling a sense of discovery and adventure. Of pushing his limits. “I just try to skate because I love it. I ride the bike because I love it.”
