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 filmer 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 - All teams voted on each other to give the final results. Team USA claims 3rd place. This was the first video

dropped at the premiere and the only reason those few in the audience weren’t screaming was because they were sitting s

lacked jawed or were the other directors who had their heads in their hands.

With an all star line up on both sides of the camera the US crew hit banger after banger and produced an edit that you’ll need to watch a bunch of times just to take it all in. This section is a total onslaught on Barcelona architecture with no regard for new or hallowed turf - it was all there for the taking.
