For reasons that are obvious, this photo has always stood out to me ever since I saw it for the first time. I spent the next 15 years occasionally searching for the clip on YouTube and Vimeo, wondering if it even existed. Finally, in 2022 when I posted a scan of this to Instagram, Mehring let me know that Mark Nickels was the filmer on the trip. I reached out to him over Instagram DM, and Mark said that he would be posting it the near future, as he was in the process of going through some of his old tapes. I forgot about the DM soon after. Fast forward almost exactly two years later (yesterday when I'm currently typing this), and I was reminded of the request after sending Mark a DM asking permission to repost his clip of Kanten Russell backside 180ing the Bercy 5. After a quick scroll through his Instagram account, I discovered to my absolute delight that Mark had posted the clip a year after I'd asked about it. After waiting and looking for fifteen years, I'd finally seen the clip! You can watch it here. Thanks Mark!!!
