Matthias Dandois – Ski Freestyle x BMX Flatland

Leave a Comment

It looks like Matthias Dandois isn’t done playing in the snow! Last week we got a look at his FLAT SUMMIT VIDEO filmed 10,000 feet up top of a mountain with freezing temps, a lotta snow and not much for oxygen. This time around he’s come down from the mountain to hit the ski hill where he paired up with a bunch of freestyle skiers to do this new video where he rides flatland while they jump him. Pretty interesting seeing this combo together a video. As always, Matthias delivers!

MATTHIAS DANDOIS – FLAT SUMMIT

Leave a Comment

Wow… Here’s one we’ve been waiting for since the trailer popped up last week! Matthias Dandois has released his new “Flat Summit” video and it is so wild. Not only is the riding really, really good, but the location is definitely an NBD since it’s up 10,000 feet in the mountains where it was freezing cold, covered in snow and light on the oxygen levels. Somehow, Matthias was able to take his amazing skills up there and knock out this edit! Take a look!

“World First! BMX Flatland above the clouds 3226m high!
With a temperature of -23°C, 62% of oxygen compare to sea level and a frozen slippery platform, it was definitely the most challenging shoot of my life but we pulled it off and I’m stoked on the result!

Matthias Dandois “Flat Summit” TEASER

Leave a Comment

Over the years we have seen Matthias Dandois do some incredible things on two wheels, and he’s done those things literally everywhere in the world. It looks like he’s been getting the itch to do something different again, and he had to go to some great heights to make it happen! It looks like he’ll be dropping a new video on February 18th from some riding time he got in at the top of the Aiguille Rouge mountain in France! We can only imagine how difficult it was to do this with the cold temps, slick surface and less low oxygen levels. Check the teaser and get excited!
