“Hey!” says our BMX flatland and street ninja.
Living between New York and Paris, Matthias spends a lot of time in airplanes, but that doesn’t stop him from grabbing some of BMX’s most impressive titles. His career started rolling back in 2002 and he was crowned World Champion for the first time in 2008, at the age of 19. Ever since, he put seven more of those in the pocket, together with dozens of other titles and mentions. Quite impressive right? We know. But, not as impressive as his fear of snakes though– ask the girlfriend, she surely has some good stories to share.
Self-nominated restless, stubborn, and clumsy, Matthias splits his creativity and imagination between the action sport and content creation, his other passion. Always searching for new places to ride, and pushing the boundaries of different riding styles, our progressive Proteam athlete surely is a perfect fit for Swatch.
