Flatland BMX champions and Red Bull athletes Jorge “Viki” Gómez from Spain and Matthias Dandois from France are slated to welcome biking enthusiasts at the PhilBike Expo 2015 and a series of activations from Sept. 30 to Oct. 5, 2015.
Gómez, who turned professional back in 2000 at age 19, is a two-time World Championship Series winner who defines flatland biking as a “fight between mind, gravity, and physics combined with movement inertia; a way of surpassing the limits of your imagination.”
Throughout his 15-year career, the Spaniard has gained global recognition by claiming multiple championships at some of the most prestigious Flatland competitions: European X Games, Asia Championship, and the Red Bull Circle of Balance – styled as the sport’s version of the Superbowl. His participation in competitions and exhibitions has brought him to more than 45 countries in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Born in Paris, France, Dandois has been involved in the sport since 2002. Back then as a 13-year-old, he was first into street riding until he saw another biker practicing flatland at his local skate park. Interest piqued, he decided to shift to the new discipline. Six years later, he was declared the best flatlander in the world.
