BMX Couple Interview: Mitchel Schotman (NED) & Dorte Balle (DEN). 

The Move. Dorte, you made the move from Denmark to The Netherlands to live with Mitchel. That’s a big step.

What made you decide that The Netherlands was the right place for you at this stage of your career, and was it an easy decision?
Dorte: I’ve had the thoughts for a while before deciding it of course, but I knew I at least would stay in Denmark till the 2025 Worlds was over. But after that it just felt right and about time to come live with Mitchel and start our chapter together.

What has been the biggest challenge since moving?
Dorte: That Mitchel hasn’t been much home because of training camps. And that I miss my family and friends from Denmark.

What has been the nicest surprise about living in The Netherlands so far?
Dorte: To meet a lot of nice people and new friends here. And to be close to Mitchel, his family, and their dog.

Name: Quillan Isidore
Age: 29
Hometown: London, England
Occupation: Coach

You recently stepped away from racing and are now focusing on coaching. Looking back, how would you sum up your BMX career and what the sport has given you over the years?
Quillan Isidore: I was very fortunate to compete in the sport for 20 years - professionally for half that time. I enjoyed a very successful amateur career with a world championship win at 16 but, more importantly laid a good foundation for what was to come. Plenty of emphasis on the fun / skills element. Built great relationships with my many people worldwide which I’m grateful for.

From my junior onwards my career was rife with injuries. It was very much two steps forward, one step back. The worst being, a broken femur or two broken ankles and a wrist (in one accident) and too many to list… This however, created a very resilient personality and attitude. The inner belief of knowing I was capable of much more led me to the somewhat small success I had.

I can be proud of 7 x world cup finals with a podium in there and a handful of euro wins etc.

European Round 1&2 of 2026 in Verona, Italy! Enjoyed the trip & track a lot! Finished the weekend with a 5th place in the semi and a 1/8 final.

Got a win on UCI Friday, followed by two 4ths at the @usabmx rounds. Solid and consistent weekend, and happy with the progress!
