Swatch – Secret Spots with Matthias Dandois

Leave a Comment

Swatch released this new 12 minute video featuring Matthias Dandois taking us for a ride to a bunch of secret spots from throughout this massive city! Matthias brings a unique approach to street spots since his style mixing flatland and street makes it so he can put spots to use unlike a lot of others. Hit play as he explores the city!

“Secret Spots explores the high-octane world of some of the most extreme and acreative sports, getting to know the talented professionals who’ve spent years sharpening their skills to become world champions and inspiring athletes.

Paris is a hundred cities inside of one. A mass of cobbled, bustling streets press up against the sprawling business district; the metro rumbles along beneath, while nature sits side by side with the city. Matthias Dandois keeps his cool there, and he shows us how to capture this under his wheels, making it all look easy.” – Swatch

Matthias Dandois – Unlocked Down

Leave a Comment

This year has been a weird one for the world, but it has unlocked some pretty amazing spots normally not available to ride. Matthias Dandois took advantage of a quiet night in Paris to film this new video filled with amazing riding at a ton of incredible spots. Needless to say, you won’t want to miss it!

“Paris is the most visited city in the world and is always full of energy and surprises.
The streets that were once full of cars, tourist and pedestrians suddenly became quiet and empty in November.
From the Champs Elysées to the Eiffel Tower and going through Montmartre or Paris Opera house, It made a perfect playground for BMX riding and some never-seen-before footage in the French capital who fell asleep.

When was the last time you saw a drone fly over a toptube mid trick? Take a look!

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!
