Standby Barcelona - 3rd Place USA
15 July 2010
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.Team USA claims 3rd place
This was the first video dropped at the premiere and the only reason those few in the audience weren’t screaming was because they were sitting slacked jawed or were the other directors who had their heads in their hands.
