What Does It Take – Danny Macaskill

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.

With most of us under some sort of quarantine or just dealing with shutdowns caused by the Coronavirus, the sessions have slowed down a bit and there have been fewer new BMX videos popping up than usual. Matthias Dandois got bored and decided to get outside and practice a little social distancing with a solo flatland session. Here’s a look at what went down in this video that Flat Matters uploaded for everyone to enjoy!

“Breaking the weekly upload FM exclusive cycle, in order to keep you entertained during the Coronavirus pandemic. Many of us are already facing total lockdown, and if not, you are about to….
Matthais Dandois got in contact with a fresh new clip, switching back and forth front to back wheel like a mad man for episode 9 of the Flatmattersonline exclusives after being in quarantine himself for a few days.
I’m still taking in Kio Hayakawa’s amazing line, and Matthias throws down this belter for us all. Thanks Matthias, stay safe out there everyone. And let’s use flatland to help us through this difficult time, these clips are going off!!”
