Emerson Morgan has been staying busy over in the U.K despite lockdowns and everything. He had his Isolation video for Fit drop last month, and now he’s back again with another dialed edit for Animal Bikes! Emerson takes his pegless style to work on a ton of spots making for a real good watch. Hit play and check out what he cooked up!
Swatch – Matthias Dandois Welcome Video
It has been a long time since we’ve had somebody get a fresh watch sponsor! Matthias Dandois now has no reason for not knowing what time it is thanks to his new sponsor, Swatch. Check out this welcome video where Matthias goes to work on spots around New York City putting his amazing flatland and street hybrid style to work! As always, Matthias finds plenty of ways to blow our minds with his riding, and his ability to go from a street style move like a 180 out of the back of a semi trailer directly into a flatland combo is so damn crazy. Hit play and enjoy!
“MATTHIAS DANDOIS
KEEP MOVING KEEP CREATING!
“Hey!” says our BMX flatland and street ninja.
Living between New York and Paris, Matthias spends a lot of time in airplanes, but that doesn’t stop him from grabbing some of BMX’s most impressive titles. His career started rolling back in 2002 and he was crowned World Champion for the first time in 2008, at the age of 19. Ever since, he put seven more of those in the pocket, together with dozens of other titles and mentions. Quite impressive right? We know. But, not as impressive as his fear of snakes though– ask the girlfriend, she surely has some good stories to share.
Self-nominated: restless, stubborn, and clumsy, Matthias splits his creativity and imagination between the action sport and content creation, his other passion. Always searching for new places to ride, and pushing the boundaries of different riding styles, our progressive ProTeam athlete surely is a perfect fit for Swatch.

BMX News 6/26/20
Oh yeah! Another week has flown by and that means that it’s time for Brant Moore to give you a full update on the best BMX videos, the latest news and newest products that popped up over the past week. As always, Brant gives you the recap with some insights up top, then you can check out everything he discusses in full down below!
Sunday Bikes – Erik Elstran “Hometown Quarantimes”
We’re huge Erik Elstran fans, so when this new video for Sunday Bikes popped up we were sure today was going to be a good day! Here’s a fresh video Erik whipped up from solo sessions cruising a ton of spots with no shortage of his unique and creative approach to riding and tricks! The riding is amazing and the film work is clean! Do not pass this up!
“Over the years I have spent a decent amount of time riding by myself. BMX is all about the community and sharing the experience with friends, however, riding by yourself provides a different kind of satisfaction. I personally like a balance between the two. While riding solo you have complete control of when/what to ride, and for how long you may want to try one thing. Sure, traveling and exploring new territory is always rad but there is also something to be said about riding familiar terrain and seeing new potential in old spots. Like unlocking new levels in a video game, the more tricks, confidence, and bike control you obtain, the more options you have at a spot.
This quarantine has been a strange time for just about everyone. I’m grateful I was able to spend the onset of it riding a bike (one of the best things you can do for your mental health) at spots I grew up with. Take care of yourself (stran) y’all!
Video by Erik Elstran.”

25 Years of X Games – Top BMX Moments
We’re not sure how you can pack 25 years of amazing riding into 12 minutes, but the X Games have compiled some of their top BMX moments into this video for your viewing pleasure! Most of these are mega ramp and vert clips, so we’re not sure if there’s another one coming for park, dirt or flatland. Either way, these were definitely some heavy moments over the years.
