Meet Matthias Dandois

Say "Hey!" to Swatch Proteam athlete Matthias Dandois, the nine-time world champion BMX flatlander from Paris. Matthias's saddle-dancing journey began in 2002, and he was quick to rise to World Champion for the first time by 2008, when he was just 19. His innovative style, extraordinary talent and passion make him an awesome match for the Swatch Proteam.

A self-described restless, stubborn, and even clumsy individual, Matthias channels his creativity not only into action sports but also content creation.
