Matthias Dandois Facts

1. His parents had recognized his interest in cycling at a very young age and had gifted him a BMX bike to practice. They had also built him a BMX Flatland track in their back garden so that he did not have to wander to a special coaching/training facility.
2. Before he had dedicated himself to a career in BMX riding, he was also interested in athletics and had represented the Essonne Athletic club at the regional level.
3. Around this team, he was also highly interested in soccer and had dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player. He had even played the sport at a local level for about 7 years after which his coach had urged him to try something else. It was then that his hobby of riding around his hometown with his friends had drawn him towards biking and cycling.
4. By the time he was 16 years old, he had made a firm call to pursue BMX riding as a career. He would start his training regimen at around 10 in the morning and would not return home by dusk.
5. In 2014, at the peak of his powers, he had suffered a devastating foot injury while trying to execute a basic stunt. He had used the injury-enforced break to improve his dietary habits and learn several techniques to improve his patience.
6. He is also an accomplished photographer whose work has been featured in Vogue Arabia.
