Mateusz Szachowski

Freelance writer and photographer

Warszawa, Poland
Also known as Mateusz Szachowski, this (still) young fellow has fallen deeply in love with doing extraordinary things. While obtaining an ability to survive reality with skateboarding in 1999, then finding extreme biking circa 2004, he always sought pleasure in creating emotions. From making people laugh as his prime goal, through storytelling with deep roots in avoiding problems at school, till capturing moments on his camera, he is still on the run for more.

As he kept on making people cringe with his bike skills and inevitable persistence to “jump one more time” he put all his effort to catch up with his talented friends while trying to stay in the bike world as an employee of brands like Red Bull, Dartmoor Bikes, PlusSizeBMX.com, rasoulution and finally his project: szachimat visuals.

All this happened while he becomes a trail boss and manager of Bike Park Kazoora and finished university.

Now he is a happy freelancer with Worldwide reach of customers.
