Prop’s Bio: Adam Banton

Props just uploaded Adam Banton’s bio from issue 60. It’s a little crazy to think that this bio is almost 5 years old but a lot of stuff he did in it still stands the test of time. To get a little insight on how Adam feels about this interview, hit up PropsBMX.tv.

Watch the bio and then hit him up on the internet:

Matthias Dandois interview

Matthias has a well-deserved interview up on the ESPN site. If you’re wondering what all the hype is about, check out his full section in our 2011 Edit. My favorite quote from the interview:

What does flatland mean to you? Not much, I don’t ride flatland anymore, I ride BMX. If you would ask me what does BMX means to me, I would say that it’s a good way to have fun.
