Hexagone - a French Bike Film
100% French riders, shot exclusively in France, it is a chance to see Antoine Bizet, Antoine Dubourgnon, Yannick Granieri, Mehdi Gani, Louis Reboul, Rémi Thirion, Richard Fert, Anthony Rocci, Pierre Edouard Ferry and Pierre Charles Georges in their backyard, their training compounds, their homes… a different view on their life through our eyes.
After a year and a half of work by Marc-Olivier Panaud and Thibault Menu with the help of Thibault Maitrejean, we present to you “Hexagone” a French mountain bike film presented by Alltricks.com
Our goal was to showcase some of the best riders we have in France. The last project like that was made 5 years ago, a lot of new talents have risen since then. We jumped on the opportunity and decided to mix our student life with the life of filmmakers.
The opportunity was not only for us to reach the French mountain bike industry, it was mainly a way to unite and motivate French riders and partners from all ages. Putting our riders and their level out of the shadow, and having a good time along the way.
After years and years of Canadian education and thus, envy, through films or stories, this film is a good reminder for us that you can ride everywhere if you have dedication and use some friends and shovels.
This is our first big serious project as filmmakers, we started from nowhere with limited experience and money. We are now very happy about this whole adventure that will hopefully call for other ones.
The film is presented by Alltricks.com In association with Hope technology and Adidas eyewear with additional support from Ghanzi and Commencal. We can’t thank them enough for their support.
Ghanzi made a t-shirt for the movie, in organic cotton, you can order it here: Hexagone t-shirt
It is a volunteer project, so if you like what you watch, please share our story. More infos here.

L`esprit Europèenne n`est pas une esprit vantard, a face d`internet et marketing moderne nous devons changer..
Les U.S. ont leur world cup maintenant (windham), donc sa devrait suffire.
Quand tu vois Champery ou Hafjell, c`est quand meme autre chose
Faut garder en tete aussi que l`ont a maintenant de très bon bikes made in europe, et sa sa boost et sa fait plaisir.
e.g. Lapierre, YT, Commencal etc... KTM et Q Bikes aussi qui vont faire le come back

Géniales certaines prises d'images : les scènes à travers bois notamment donnent l'illusion de la 3D, et les effets stroboscopiques sur les bikes qui surgissent en coin comme des flash de couleurs !
Bref un film avec des vrais plus-values par rapport aux vidéos classiquement visionnées jusqu'à présent ; les prises de vue et les artifices opératoires ne trahissent pas non plus l'un des protagoniste permanent de la vidéo : la Nature - Chapeau Messieurs !
don't you just want to know our type of lense ?
would be easier =)
I'm sure your friend with the BMW will know, if not don't worry...I won't lose any sleep
Great film anyway, thanks again.
