United – “Autoportrait” By Alex Valentino

February 11, 2022

Alex Valentino is celebrating 17 years with United Bike Co.. To celebrate, they’ve released Alex’s new signature Autoportrait frame, and this new 30 minute video to check out! As expected, this video turned out so good with a focus on riding, but also has some non-riding, along with a look at a bunch of old riding footage from when Alex was just a kid. Needless to say, this turned out amazing and it’s such a good watch. Take a look!

“There’s not a lot of riders out there who can say they’ve been with the same frame sponsor for 17 years, but that’s exactly what Alex Valentino has done with his family at United. To celebrate the release of his new signature AUTOPORTRAIT frame, Alex and Arnaud Wolff has created this 30 minute visual masterpiece with glimpses at Alex’s past, where he’s at now, and of course some incredible riding from himself, and United teammates Jo Gass and Tom Deville.

United – Jo Gass “Con Leche”

January 7, 2022

Here’s a fresh video that’s been a year and a half in the making! Watch United‘s Jo Gass go to work on a bunch of spots over in France with no shortage of grinds and style.

“The French and style go hand in hand. Jo Gass has the latter oozing from every pore of his body and after a year and a half, and six nasty injuries, he’s back on our screens for United. Jo rules!” – DIG

“It’s been a year and a half since I started to film this edit with Arnaud and the road to finishing this project was hard. I took 6 heavy injuries in one year, and working full time as a barista in Strasbourg doesn’t help haha! I already made some decisions for this year with my work and shit to ride more and start some new video projects… so you know there will be more “GASSS” in 2022.” – Jo Gass

United BMX – Jo Gass Video

February 12, 2020

If you aren’t already a Jo Gass fan, this new one for United should do the trick! Jo brings his buttery smooth style to a bunch of spots over in the U.K with a mix of jibs, grinds, gaps and more. This one has a pretty chill vibe, but it fits really well with the riding. Take a look!

“Time was limited as Jo Gass was soon to be heading to Australia, so at the beginning of October we went to Basel, Switzerland for what would hopefully be a productive day to get this edit started. Unfortunately Jo hurt both heels at the first spot so the day was over and he couldn’t ride for a month. When he got back on the bike he wasn’t 100% healed, and the weather was definitely against us too. Injuries, bad weather, and limited time, are a bad combination, but an all too familiar situation when filming a BMX video part! We ended up filming mostly around Strasbourg, France whenever we could and despite everything we’re happy with the result… and we hope you’ll enjoy it too. After all, less is sometimes more!” – Arnaud Wolff
