"Few riders embody mountain biking's evolving blend of competition, freeride, and style quite like Thomas Genon. From slopestyle podiums to Rampage lines, the Belgian has built a career on doing things his own way-and his new short film, Paradigm, is an exploration of his multidisciplinary approach as he transitions away from the contest spotlight and gets back to his roots of riding."
"From backyard jibs to bike park corner slashing and Fest Series hits, this video follows many of Europe's biggest names as they search for good light and slow-mo shots, one after the next. The project follows Genon and a stacked crew of friends and fellow Red Bull riders-including Emil Johansson, Kade Edwards, and Szymon Godziek-as they link up across Europe, sampling some of the region's finest riding."
"It's part road trip, part style session, and part love letter to the culture that raised the rider we now know as Tommy G. From Genon's backyard trails in France to Swiss bike park laps, and finally to Szymon Godziek's Fest Series line in Poland, Paradigm is an ode to riding in true big-budget cinematic MTB fashion. The golden light is abundant and the slow-mo shots are a-plenty; for those of you who are mountain bike media lovers through and through, this one's for you."
Thomas Genon moves away from the contest spotlight and returns to the roots of riding in the short film Paradigm. The film follows Genon and a crew of Red Bull riders—including Emil Johansson, Kade Edwards, and Szymon Godziek—linking up across Europe for road-trip style sessions. Footage ranges from backyard jibs and French trail laps to Swiss bike park runs and a Fest Series line in Poland. The production emphasizes golden-hour lighting, abundant slow-motion cinematography, and big jumps. The tone remains mellow and focused on style, camaraderie, and adventure rather than competition or sport reinvention.
