Join Flatland BMX riders Terry Adams and Matthias Dandois LIVE on @RedBullBike this Friday, April 24 at 1pm ET / 12pm CT where both riders will be streaming from their homes. Terry will be streaming from his garage in his hometown of Hammond, Louisiana and will be joined by Matthias who will be going live from his apartment in Manhattan.
They will be sharing the screen while social distancing. One does tricks while the other narrates the tricks and interacts with fans. They switch it up, go back and forth, have some fun banter - trying to one-up each other.
Terry Adams: "Flatland is my heart and soul," he says. "I will do everything I can to help it grow." Growing up in Hammond, Louisiana, a small town about an hour outside of New Orleans, Terry discovered Flatland BMX when he was 12. Terry began competing in flatland contests at 16, and since then has amassed an impressive number of awards and accolades, including an X Games gold medal and two NORA Cup wins. These days, in between competing and continuing to pioneer his discipline, Terry is now widely regarded as the ambassador for flatland, taking part in demos all over the world.
Matthias Dandois: Matthias was crowned the world's best BMX flatlander at the age of just 19, but the
victory was the culmination of six years hard work in the sport. Dandois began life riding street in his native France, but in 2002 he saw someone riding flatland in his local skatepark and fancied his chances. For him, it was a truly life-changing choice that paid dividends – he shook up the sport well before his world championship triumph. He was hailed as one of the most inspiring next-generation riders and hasn't looked back since, virtually dominating the BMX Flatland world stage, and has enthusiastically been crossing over the disciplines of flatland and street.
WHEN: FRIDAY, APRIL 24 @ 1PM ET/ 10AM PT
WHERE: The BMX ride & chat will be broadcast live from @redbullbike on Instagram
