On June 8, 2025, the 5th edition of the Bike Festival, co-organized by the City of Aix-en-Provence and ADAVA, was marked by three breathtaking performances by X-Sports Shows on the Cours Mirabeau. Led by brothers Yohan Triboulat and Thomas Triboulat pioneers of VTT Street Trial in France, these shows captivated the audience with daring tricks and infectious energy, once again affirming the company’s global reputation in extreme sports performances.
A Jaw-Dropping Spectacle
At 11:15 AM, 2:15 PM, and 5:00 PM, spectators were treated to VTT Street Trial demonstrations of rare intensity. Yohan and Thomas Triboulat, iconic figures in the discipline, pushed the boundaries of creativity and performance. High-altitude obstacle jumps, backflips, tail whips, and spectacular spins punctuated the shows, blending technical skill, precision, and a unique artistic flair. Their style, influenced by BMX freestyle and popularized in France by the brothers since the late 2000s, electrified the Aix-en-Provence crowd.
Thanks to innovative infrastructure designed specifically for the event, X-Sports Shows transformed the Cours Mirabeau into a true urban playground. The modules, crafted to maximize safety while enabling bold tricks, delivered a visually stunning spectacle, true to the modern show vision championed by Yohan Triboulat, the company’s founder.
