As part of the BCN BMX PRO The Nike 6.0 Standby Barcelona competition saw 5 countries go head to head to film and produce the best street film in Barcelona. Countries included France, Germany, UK, USA and Spain; each team consisted of one lead director, one filmer and four riders. All of the countries had just one week to film and edit their piece in a bid to bag the overall prize of €10,000 - All teams voted on each other to give the final results.
The UK team storm into second position… These guys are

Guest Irishman Jason Phelan sets the scene from the get go putting a line in the sand for this 5 minute UK banger.

Matty Lambert: “Barcelona has played such a massive roll in the BMX street scene and to be invited back with 4 of the best street riders, representing your country, is something of an honor. It was an intense week filled with a hell of a lot of riding, crashes and good times! Standby, hands down, was the best project I’ve ever had the opportunity to be a part of.”
