Back in 2015, after filming a couple of head-turning video parts, Canada's Pascal Lafontaine was diagnosed with bone cancer and had to undergo the horrifying process of losing his leg. Understandably he thought that those videos had become the last he'd ever film.
After three years of rehab he learnt to walk and even ride about on his bike, all while going through chemotherapy and dealing with 15 separate foot breaks. He is still in chemotherapy and trying different treatments but he managed to relearn how to ride with his prosthetic leg and slowly but surely got back his skills on a bike and filmed whenever he could. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and Pascal emailed us asking about a DIG exclusive - needless to say we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the footage he had been collecting. If there's one video to watch this year, it's this one. Nothing is impossible. Sit back and enjoy some of the most incredible and inspiring bike riding from one of the toughest people out there. Look out for the full story in the next print issue of DIG, coming soon.
"I really want to thanks all of my friends that helped me ride again and film this videopart."
Filmed by William Gladu, Alex Magnan and Cedrik Morin.

Ride in Peace brother! You may have lost the war but you went out in a blaze of glory!
Is he dead ?
@@joeldelgado5814 yes
he past away... really sad about this... 5 years battle against cancer.
A vida é um sopro mesmo...seloko....maluco guerreiro 💪🏽⚰️🙏❤️🇧🇷R.I.P.
It’s so sad to see him go like that he was so good. I was sad when he sold his last bike but we didn’t know how much time he had left, but at least he passed spreading the most positivity he could
Rest in peace. He was legend and a motivation to progress further for me. Life is unfair to some people.
Holy shit this is incredible, most inspiring thing ever
Wow he is an incredible rider and an inspiration for sure.
jonas rutherford 🔥
God damn, this was good. Pascal, you are an inspiration.
Wethepeople BMX Thanks Guys 🙏🏼🇨🇦
@@MrPascaleen ✌️
R. I. P my childhood friend, Pascal was the funniest, most dedicated and motivated person I’ve ever met. He excelled at every sport, hockey, skateboarding, then bmx, he had no fear - real balls of steel as they say.
I’m going to miss you 😔
Damn, this man done snapped his foot off like it was a crank arm and bolted a new shits up to get it done! Mad respect
Chris Forsman z
Lmfao 'like a crank arm'
I know, right? bmx is a bastard child of determination and addiction, love and fear, with the best payoff life has to offer when you ride out clean from "I'm doing this one more time...."
You will never be forgotten... LEGENDS ❤️ R.I.P
Fellow survivor here Brother...I fought the Big C when I was 26... that was 20 years ago.. Sitting here at 46 and I can say I've been there and you inspire ME... Keep doing what you love and tomorrow will shine on you !
Rest in Peace boss :(
RIP dude. This edit is even more wild rewatching it a year later.
note to bike and energy drink companies: this is the guy to sign with a fat paycheck
He passed away
@@connercharbonneau4311 dude the coment is 8 month old
Dam humans nothing will stop us from doing what we want .
Jay Hatt
no no no
not what we want, everything can stop us from what we „want“
but nothing stops us from what we love, because in wanting to achieve something there is just mind involved, not love
*edit*
because love is bigger than a mind
Hells to the yeah, my friend ...written like someone who lives it...Pas says " hold my beer while I cab this 8 ft drop...good thing I brought a spare foot"...fuckin gnarly...R(ide) I(n) P(eace)
So many huge fakie drops, cabs, and hangovers. This dude slaughters concrete beyond comprehension. I'm still trying to reconcile what I just witnessed.
That was absolutely incredible. You're the man, Pascal!
Our BMX thanks Guys! keep pushing bmx 🙏🏼
RIP ! one on the most respectful human is the world
Normal people: "DAMIT, MY BACK WHEEL BROKE."
This guy: "Welp, I guess I gotta replace my foot.
he rides better than me, and I have 2 legs...
yeah he is soo good man but each person rides at their own level pace man keep having fun and learning thats what i try to do even though much better riders then me out there
he rides better than some pro riders
😂😂 not funny but funny
dont worry. most ppl ride like a turd.
i have 3 legs and i still cant ride that well either. if you know what i mean
You were more stronger than every person...
Ride in peace Pascal, everyone who rides will remeber you like a motivation to live 🥺
Someones gotta do an interview with this dude
Jordan BMX it will in the upcoming print issue of DIG
Shinner Immunity Unlocked.
This man is an inspiration!
I met this man at the St-Hyacinthe Skateplaza and didnt even know that he had a prostatic leg Wish it had blown my mind when he revealed it Gotta say he is an insane rider and a complete inspiration to me and my friends over at St-Hyacinthe, QC ... Here's my word to the man ...
Keep on doing watchu love doing
Never let anything stop you and
Hopes to see you again soon man 🤘😀
Tonyboi TheHappiness Thanks for the kind words homie! En espérant se revoir et rider à St hyacinthe bientot! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🏼
This guy’s riding is fucking rad! And the fact that he’s doing it with one leg makes it that much more incredible. Looking forward to seeing more from him in the future
Honestly one of the greatest things I’ve seen in bmx
Rip, you were absolutely incredible and a huge inspiration.
RIP Pascal #rideinpeace Will never forget this amazing edit and I thank everyone involved
This is beyond inspiring , he pulled off better things than I've seen more than half the sponsored riders pull off. Absolutely mental
The most inspiring person to ever live i’m so glad he returned
Sick, didn't think I was gonna cry today. What an inspiration and some amazing riding!
Pascal! You're a hero buddy! Wish you the very best in this life!
Francis Zoltan Thanks man! 🙏🏼🖤
descansa en paz gran héroe, eres motivación para todo rider🤜🤛💖🇨🇱
Breaking limits, And giving so much inspiration. More power to you man, God bless you always, stay strong 🙌🙏🏻💯
Quite possibly the most motivational video ive ever seen. Big respect dude. Stay strong and beat off that cancer if you still have it. Again huge respect and keep battling and riding!!!
Insane video! You are such an inspiration to so many. May you rest in peace
Revisiting this because it's the most inspiring video I have ever seen, a level of riding that is insane regardless of having just one leg. I'm sorry to hear you passed away after fighting so hard to get back on top, I hope you found peace wherever you are.
Incroyable, quel champion ! Bravo Pascal continue comme ça. Tu nous inspires à nous dépasser
Inspirational. Classic monumental music. Insane level of riding. Monday has never felt so good since a long time!!! I'm pumped to go ride now.. Thank you so much for this!!!
Absolutely amazing. What a legend. Never heard of him but will follow now for sure.. Too many people are full of excuses in life. He is another calibre all together. Well done..
You left us a great teaching, now it only remains to say rest in peace rider
Rip to such an amazing and inspiring rider. You’re contribution to the lifestyle will be forever missed
wow..you are amazing..your dedication was so high, unbeluevable and unexpected that you can do it inspite of your leg was disable.... you inspire me a lot and motivate me with your passion....
Nothing can stop you as long as you love what you do! This guy is a pure inspiration and everyone should appreciate what he does! Do what you love! Keep it up Pascal! ❤️
This is the best edit I’ve seen this year! Keep up the good work 🔥
R.I.P Pascal you will missed in all are harts ❤️ we have spoke loads on socal media in the past you will be missed 😢
This edit was so amazing to see when it dropped (and still today obviously)!
By that time, I had been following him for a while, as he was a local, and an absolute unit in the local scene may I say. At some point, I thought we'd never see an edit from him again because of his situation, but I remember him posting some clips of himself practicing in front of his house here and there.
Then fast forward a bit, and he comes out with this banger out of nowhere! PASCAL WAS BACK!! He's an inspiration for me to this day, and I wish I would've had the chance meet him. Ride in peace Pascal, you absolute legend! 🙌
Thanks for everything Pascal ❤️🙏🏼
RIP brother! Forever a true inspiration❤️❤️
Inspiring. One of your best vids yet.
R.I.P legend
Repose en paix et veille sur tout les riders du monde ! Merci pour cette détermination et ce courage que tu nous a donné
