Leave a Comment

Whenever Matthias Dandois drops a new The Flat Side of Things video, you know you’re going to see some insanely dialed flatland riding that you most likely won’t be able to comprehend unless you are a seasoned vet in the flatland game! The riding in this is all tricks and combos Matthias hasn’t done before, and basically he ended up with an absolute must see BMX video. Even if you don’t ride flatland, you’ll want to check this out. You will also want to make sure your jaw has a soft place to land because it’ll definitely drop watching this. Take a look!

“6 min of BMX Flatland tricks I have never done before.
Filmed over the past 8 months in New York, Paris, Geneva and Saint Raphael.
Some of those clips took way too many tries hence the self filming.

HaroZona

Leave a Comment

The past few months have been weird and challenging to say the least, and it has cut back on travel time for pretty much everyone. Some of the Haro team decided to load up for a road trip to Arizona where they spent some time exploring street spots and parks, just to get out and ride something new. Here’s a look at what they stacked for clips during the trip! Needless to say, the crew consisting of Chad Kerley, Dennis Enarson, Matthias Dandois and Alex Leibrock delivered and there’s plenty of heat to check out in this!

“Suffering from communal cabin fever caused by the Covid lock downs, we got the crew together and hit the road as soon as we heard word that cases were declining and restrictions easing. Weary not to venture too far during these uncertain times, we kept close to home and cruised through the desert to the great state or Arizona, aka HaroZona!

Swatch – Matthias Dandois Welcome Video

Leave a Comment

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.

Leave a Comment

Matthias Dandois coming through with a fresh video filled with footage from some of the flatland sessions he has been getting in out in the streets of a very quiet New York City! The lockdown might be keeping people down, but it looks like Matthias is making the best of it!

“I LO(ckdown)VE NY
My DIY love letter to the city that never sleeps.
New York City might have gone to bed for a lil while, but The Big Apple is tough and will awake stronger!
filmed at dawn by my tripod 8 different mornings.
Song by LCD soundsystem – New York I love you but you’re bringing me down ” – Matthias Dandois

What Does It Take – Danny Macaskill

Leave a Comment

Matthias Dandois teamed up with Red Bull on a new Podcast series called “What Does It Take“. To Kick things off, Matthias sat down with Danny Macaskill to get his story from how he got his Pro career started way back in 2009 on up through what he has going on today. Obviously Danny is a MTB / Trials guy, but we know a ton of BMX guys who are into what he’s doing. Hit play and give this a listen since it’s a good one. Obviously with the two different accents it’s a little tricky at times, but otherwise it’s a real good listen. Check it!

“For the first episode of the What Does It Take podcast, I went to London to meet Danny Macaskill. We sat down to talk about Danny growing up in Scotland, being a bike mechanic, having success from one day to another, trying tricks hundreds of time, having multiple injuries, spending days to film a trick, working on the craziest projects, dealing with fear.

Matthias Dandois – Covid-19 BMX Workout

Leave a Comment

Looking for a good BMX workout?

If you’re stuck inside and can’t ride due to quarantine or mandatory shelter rules in place to reduce the spread of the Coronvirus, you’re probably looking for ways to stay active. Matthias Dandois decided to put together a video where he shows the BMX workout he has been doing for the past few years to help him not only stay in shape, but improve his riding as well. This isn’t riding, but it should help out! Grab a yoga mat, hit play and follow along! We would imagine this is probably a lot of stuff he learned from those high end trainers Red Bull athletes get.

“We can all agree this Covid-19 situation sucks.
And staying home is the best thing you can do right now.
BUT! Staying home does NOT mean sit on your couch and stare at your phone.
I have had a workout routine the past 3 years that has helped me becoming a better BMX rider, preventing injuries and most of all staying in good shape.
I feel like this is the perfect time to share it with you.
Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions in the comments.
Stay safe, Stay home.
Much Love, Matthias.” – Matthias Dandois

Check out Matthias’ Instagram for a look at what this helps him don.
