Lulu Bejot: Ski Jumping in France to BMX in New Zealand | ShedlifeNZ Episode 34
He was raised to be an Olympic ski jumper in France. Years later, on the other side of the world, he's a BMX rider, a commercial pilot, and a head chef, all at once. Lulu Bejot sits down with Jason and Mark on ShedLifeNZ to tell the full story.
He started ski jumping at 5 years old on tiny 5 metre jumps in a small village in eastern France, working his way up to 100 metre jumps before injuries broke his wrist, his back, and his season one too many times. He walked away from it all at 16. Two years later he moved alone to New Caledonia with zero English and picked up a BMX bike for the first time. After watching Jed Mildon land the first ever triple backflip, he messaged fellow rider Jayden Leeming on Facebook and moved to New Zealand to ride with him. This is the complete Lulu Bejot story.
Lulu opens up about freezing solid on his first run at the FISE World Cup in France in front of half a million people, working his way from dishwasher to head chef, and getting his commercial pilot's license while riding full time.
