Matthias Dandois Rocks Austin, Texas

     It is no secret that Matthias Dandois has been in Austin, Texas for the past month. There has been a ton of footage that has been posted since his arrival here. The camera was on him from the moment that he arrived to the moment that he left. 1 particular video caught many peoples attention. Around 15,000 people in 7 days. “Whip it”. It became an internationally success over 99 different countries. This made it the #1 video on BMX Freestyler to date. During the French Connection I had the opportunity to do a very quick informal interview with him. You can view that below.

North Island Padre Jam 2010 Wrap Up

All week long there has been something being said about the North Padre Island Jam. If you happen to miss out on what was happening I will fill you in. The contest/jam was held on March 20, 2010. The BMX Freestyler van was loaded up to capacity with Tod Miller, Alex Johnson, Kenny Boucher, Adam DiClaudio and Matthias Dandois. We arrived to the location to be greeted by Aaron Frost and the rain. Other riders kept showing up as we all waited for it to stop raining. It finally stopped around 3 p.m. and everyone was itching to ride. We were going to ride wet or dry. There were leaf blowers and squeegees to dry up the riding area. Around 4 p.m. the sun started to show its face and it also helped dry things up a bit. So the jam started a little late but everyone was in great spirits. It’s not every day that we all get to see each other and we spent the time socializing with one another.

The Contest was in Battle Format for both AM and Pro. The Battles were as follows for

AM Class

Round 1

Paul M vs Hector Garcia ------ Hector Moves on
Johnny Tamayo vs Rad Dad ----- Johnny Moves on

BMX Freestyler going Mobile

Due to the restrictions of a free Vimeo account, BMX Freestyler is now a Plus member. The main benefit is that there is more room to upload videos through the week. A very cool perk is all the videos uploaded are now made avalible to your smart phones. This doesn’t include the videos that are embedded at this time. We will be working on posting up links to the mobile Vimeo site so you can watch BMX Freestyler videos on the go. It has been officially feild tested by David Weathersby and it worked on his I-Phone and videos are now working on my My-Touch.

Chadwick- He has always helped with Video production but he has taken things to a new level and making several web edits for your viewing pleasure. We have been working more and more together as a team to provide new coverage for you.

Jim Mckay-He is stepping up to create a whole new section on BMX Freestyler that has never existed before. We will leave it as a surprise for now. Stay tuned as a new section pops up.

Tod Miller & Kassandra Wright – Both Tod and Kassandra have been helping with filming as well. Kassandra made her début with the Pro section of North Padre Island Jam. Tod has helped before and is looking to keep helping when he is needed.

Josh Duffek- Josh has been helping BMX Freestyler for many years now. He has a Flatland Channel on Vimeo and he doesn’t miss a thing. He provides videos from the net that he has found great enough to share with everyone.

Big Props to the ATX Flatland Crew and everyone that helps out to make BMX Freestyler a great resource for Flatland and ATX Coverage.
