Federal Bikes – Bruno Hoffmann “FTS” Section

This past summer the Federal Bikes crew released their new “FTS” video that Rich Forne produced and ultimately lead to them winning the NORA Cup for best video of 2019. Well, they’ve decided to start unleashing sections from the BMX video online for your viewing pleasure! Today we get a look at Bruno Hoffmann‘s section that is just shy of an 8 minute BANGER. Bruno takes his smooth, effortless style to spots all over the place and absolutely slays everything he came across, even if he did end up looking like he took a cheese grater to his face in the process. Hit play because this is an absolute MUST SEE BMX VIDEO!

When the Eclat team get together for a trip, you know it’s going to be a good one. The crew recently made their way to Athens, Greece to put the endless spots to proper use! Hit play to check out banger after banger!

“It may be famed for being one of the oldest cities in the world, dating back 7000 years, but Athens, Greece isn’t just dusty cobbles and philosophers in sandals. We sent DIG video guy Peter Adam off with Eclat’s Bruno Hoffmann, Lewis Mills, Alex Kennedy and Jordan OKane meeting up with locals, including Eclat teammate Jason Eustathiou, to sample the city’s best spots. Needless to say with this crew things got heated, fast. Sit back and enjoy 9 minutes of high grade from some of the best to grace a bike.” – DIG
