Swatch is an amazing company. Not only do they produce some of the raddest watches around, including those old colorful classics, but they involve themselves in action sports and do it properly. In an effort to promote their FMX athletes like Mat Rebeaud and Robbie Maddison, Swatch has put a massive amount of resources into creating some of the best mini-bio's I've seen in a long time.
I was able to get my hands on a few shorter web clips from Catch the Moment: Mat Rebeaud and they're simply bad-ass. Check out the first webisode below and if you want to view the entire half hour show, click here. More to come.

Leyba is a bitter, retired FMX rider that likes to sit in his cubicle and call the professionals of the sport wussies for not pulling 360s and double backflips. He claims he quit riding FMX before flips were even invented... yeah, right.
Cliff Talley
Making FMX videos exciting is easy. Making them look good is not. Cliff Talley does both of these well and still manages to find enough time to piss off his neighbors with his Travis Barker-esque drum skills.
Chris Tedesco
You've seen his photos on the covers of Transworld, Racer X and more. You've also seen his tequila shooting skills at your local dive bar. Ladies, Chris is single and looking to mingle.
Grant "Goba" O'brien
FMX in Australia wouldn't exist if it weren't for Goba. Well, maybe it would, but it wouldn't be nearly as cool. I don't know why, but we can't quit calling him gobalobadingdong — it just rolls off the tongue.
Tes Sewell
Tes is the dude that's always involved in everything that's going on in FMX. How he does it, we don't know, but that's the reason we hired him to share his plethora of FMX wisdom in the form of a monthly column.
