Belgium is the place for cyclo-cross. ‘Cross is the national sport, with races drawing tens of thousands of spectators and the riders being household names.
Matt jumped right in at the deep end, taking on the race course in Niel, Belgium, speaking to Sven Nys (arguably the greatest ‘cross rider of all time) and getting pro tips from up-and-coming star Tom Meeusen.
We got some absolutely stunning shots at this race, so, if you like ‘cross, please SHARE this video!

Awesome. I wanna go to Belgium.
Chapeau Matt… Brilliant!
Well done Matt!
I don't do cross but I like seeing Matt fall
I was in Gavere yesterday watching the cyclocross… I came from Spain to see it… and I just loved it! Check my instagram at @asierjl
Often see people asking about the instrumentals you use as beds, but this is the first real time I've liked one enough to want to source it; trouble is Toydrum – Flowers (on the outro @ 3:44) is a bugger to search for, as you can imagine the results… (And yes, I'm aware there's a link to it on iTunes, but that's not what I'm after and I don't use iTunes anyway.)

…Gave it another go as I'm a persistent sod who believes in hardwork for true crate digging:

…And on reading their lengthy blurb on their FB about page, it's now obvious why I liked them given their musical careers and the people they've worked with…
belgium is the best
Cycling, running…the only thing missing is the swimming pool. Lol
Whats the song at the end? I can't seem to find Flowers by Toydrum, are you sure its called 'Flowers'
seems like everyones riding ridleys??
This is why Matt is my favorite presenter! Dude just rolled down the hill like a chubby bulldog lmao!
@3.22 – very funny! 🙂
This video makes me want to race cross. Knowing all along I'd crash probably more than Matt, and finish dead last (if I finished at all) in the lowest category.
