As part of the BCN BMX PRO The Nike 6.0 Standby Barcelona competition saw 5 countries go head to head to film and produce the best street film in Barcelona. Countries included France, Germany, UK, USA and Spain; each team consisted of one lead director, one filmier and four riders. All of the countries had just one week to film and edit their piece in a bid to bag the overall prize of €10,000.

Carlos Maqueda: “The trip is over and I’m pretty happy to be a part of the Nike 6.0 Standby Barcelona Spanish team. It was an intense week filming. Hand in hand with Toni and 4 of the best and nicest riders on the planet, even under the burning sun in Barcelona. Sergio, Nil, Rubio and Melo destroyed every single spot they hit, with tons of style and some of the most creative lines. Thanks to the people who did this possible, we had a good time and we wanted to show it in our edit. Every team in the contest did an amazing job. Congratulations to the winner… its incredible work.”
