Now this is what we call a MUST SEE BMX video! A few weeks back it was announced that 4Down Distribution was setting up a second distribution point in France with Alex Valentino as the man in charge. Since then, Alex has been doing a little restructuring and getting a team of France’s finest setup. Today, we get a look at the first video from 4Down’s new crew, The French Connexion, which consists of Alex, Nico Badet (Now repping Fit Bike Co.), Antoine Nau (Now repping S&M Bikes), Nico Terrez (United Bike Co.) and Tom Deville (United Bike Co.). They have kicked things off with an amazing video filled with some dialed riding (and ROUGH crashes) on street spots they found in the city of Rose. Everything from the riding and spots to the filming and editing, which was handled by Alex Valentino, is so good. Get on that play button and enjoy. This is just the start of what appears to be a real good thing.
Nico Badet on Fit France / Antoine Nau on S&M France
It looks like Alex Kennedy has been making some moves as the French team manager for 4Down Distribution France. Nico Badet is now doing it for Fit Bike Co. and Antoine Nau is doing it for S&M Bikes! Check out two quick instagram teasers above and below for both guys. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing proper welcome edits for both of these guys in the near future, so get stoked!
