“A few months ago, after finishing a fashion shoot in Puerto Rico, I took advantage of the proximity to go visit a good friend of mine. Once on the island, my curiosity was aroused by these groups of kids ignoring every law and taking all the risks to have fun on their bikes in the darkness of the night. I had some of my equipment with me and knew I had to make a documentary out of it.
The group I followed makes a living chasing illegal races on small, customized motorcycles. They block highways and race at exhilarating speeds rarely wearing helmets.
Beyond the races, I wanted to highlight their everyday lives and stories: the gang, the parties and violence. It is this paradoxical safe universe, created by them and for them that I wished to capture.
Spending time with these racers made me realize that in the end, these kids were not much different from other kids around the world, they keep boredom at bay by pushing their limits and taking risks. They hang out together because of the friendships and brotherhood they find within the group. We all want to feel like we belong.” – Aurélien Heilbronn
