Casio G-SHOCK / Berlin / BMX Flatland
During the Summer in Berlin, we’ve filmed a new video for Casio G-SHOCK, from Peru, Latin America.
We went to many locations in Kreuzberg- Friedrichshain & Mitte to catch the flavor of the city and have a better approach to the urban scene.
Have a look to the final result!

Nippon BMX Flatland
Sport Documentary
After my first trip to japan in 2010, I have got really impressed, how big and organized was the Flatland scene at that moment. For this time in 2013, I had the idea to film more and produce a longer video instead of the usual clip of only tricks. We’ve decided together with Irene Rojas Erlenbach from Wildschnitt, to produce a short film documentary about the development of BMX Flatland Culture in Japan. That’s how I decided to stay a longer time, to get really involved in the scene. It was a really exiting and productive time over there. Just melting with japanese riders, showed me many things about their scene and the way of thinking they have to develop the sport all around the country.
Fortunately BMX riders Kotaro Tanaka and Hiroshi Uehara got really exited about the idea, so we started to film in many locations around Tokyo. We had also the opportunity to travel to Kobe and Sanda, where we met more local riders!
After these two trips, I have got a ton of material of riding, locations and so on. But for us as filmmakers, we wanted to know more about the development of BMX Flatland as sub-urban culture. We have prepared a questionary to Kotaro and Hiroshi, two of the main promoters of the sport in Japan. The thing was, if we wanted something really original, we should have the interview in their own Language! Kotaro and Hiroshi managed to translate their speech to English for Global understanding, Arigato!
I hope this short film documentary not only helps Japanese scene, also it should help all of us: riders, promoters, brands, etc to understand that if we push together the sport, we will have in the future a stronger and healthier community! ONE LOVE BMX FLATLAND!
Thanks to all the people, who supported this project. We really had a good time editing during many days and hours this project, pushing ourselves to have the video as clean and interesting as possible!
ARIGATO GOSAIMAS!
