United BMX – Alex Valentino “Still United”

December 23, 2017

Alex Valentino’s section from “Still United” now online!

Whenever you see Alex Valentino‘s name pop up, you know you’re in for a treat. That goes double when it’s an actual video part! United have uploaded Alex’s section from the “Still United” video online and it’s an absolute treat. Effortless style, plenty of nose balance, big gaps, grinds and much more. Alex put in the work from France to both coasts of the United States and a handful of other countries along the way for this one and he ended up with one hell of a part! Get on that play button!

“STILL UNITED 2016
Filmed and edited by Peter Adam

“Our penultimate online premiere of the insanely good ‘Still United’ just went live and this time it’s DVD cover boy Alex Valentino. Alex’s level of determination for his section was admiring to see – just one example of this is his first clip when he shreds all the skin off his palms. Well, 48 hours later he was 180 barspinning the ‘El Cap’ statue with his hands all bandaged up – now that’s how you do it. Enjoy Alex Valentino’s best from two years of filming, all tied up like a charm via the mind of Peter Adam. And that ender too, don’t miss it!” – DIG

United – No Foreign Lands: Pt.1 Lyon

December 14, 2017

The United team spent some time exploring spots in Lyon, France and ended up with this amazing new video!

Here’s one that’s almost a bit bitter sweet! The United team made their way to Lyon, France to spend a few days exploring the city and stacking clips. The reason it’s a little bitter sweet is because this was the last trip Nathan Williams took as a member of the United team after 11 years of traveling the world with them. Needless to say, the team ended up with an absolute BANGER of a video that you can enjoy now! Amazing spots, excellent riding, dialed film work. You can’t pass this BMX video up!

“We’re excited to present this new video series from United, ‘No Foreign Lands’ that will run throughout the next year. The first destination was the heavily explored city of Lyon in France. Despite it’s well-ridden spots the United crew, consisting of Nathan Williams, Sebastian Anton, Corey Martinez, Harry Mills Wakley, Alex Valentino and Tom Deville put their mark on the city in a big way.

So, the beginning of this new chapter marked the end of another as United’s founder Ian Morris explain below, with some pretty big news:

“This was Nathan’s last trip riding for United as you can see from the edit, he still put in 110% into it, even though we knew he was leaving the brand. This is testament to who he is as rider and a person. He’s been with the United for 11 years almost since the very first day. I can’t thank Nathan enough for what he’s done for us over the years. It’s been a pleasure and I wish him all the very best on his journey ahead.” – Ian Morris / United Bike Co

November 30, 2017

It has been a while since the last Vans BMX Palmistry Guide, but the wait is over and it was well worth it! Here’s a super rad video from a trip that Alex Valentino and a crew of heavy hitters took to Thailand to explore the street spots, ride the skateparks, meet the locals and just experience the place. As expected, this is packed with amazing riding, excellent film work and some great spots. This is one of those BMX videos that is hard to look away from once you hit play! Enjoy!

“The Kingdom of Thailand has been the new playground for our riders for the third chapter of The Palmistry Guide.

This year Alexandre Valentino and four BMX Vans riders Nicolas Badet, Benoît Gea, Tom Deville and Kilian Roth, escorted by Winai Khampheethoon their local guide, will take them from Bangkok to Lopburi. First shocks, the heat and humidity that will have to be tamed. First meetings, the riders of a skatepark in Bangkok. Here, not everyone speaks English, but BMX is a universal language. “”Thailand has been an incredible experience, a real cultural clash, and now we understand why it’s called the land of smiles”” Says Alexandre Valentin.

MarieJade – Milkshake 8 – Part 8

December 30, 2016

The final installment of the year long MarieJade Milkshake 8 series has arrived. The 8th video is much like the previous seven, filled with amazing riding, rad spots and some great film work, except this one is solely an Alex Valentino section that breaks from the mix sections we’ve seen in the other videos. That’s not a bad thing, because Alex brings the heat with his signature style and film direction that makes this more than just a “BMX video”. You might catch yourself checking if the final credits are rolling a few times in this one, but each time you’re then treated to more riding! Check it!

“We are back with another Milkshake, this one a bit different.
The Milkshake 8 gonna be in 8 parts, and here the Last one.
Milkshake 8 – Dernière Partie.
Featuring: Alex Valentino
“They are usually Riding and I’m filming but for the last one they filmed and I rode, so I went to spend five days with Leo at is hometown, a summer day with Arnaud and three days with Bad” – Alex Valentino
Shot by Leo Balay, Arnaud Wolff and Nico Badet.”
