The 2013 Flatmatters Online Award Winners are!!!

As 2013 draws to a close, I can proudly announce the results of the first FlatmattersOnline Awards! It’s been a tough process, but a fun project to undertake nevertheless I’m sure you will all agree. If you are looking at the videos and analysing what’s good about a rider and his tricks and why that stands out above another rider more than you normally would, that can only be a good thing. Why not put some thought into something you love so much?!

Congratulations to all the winners! I will be sending out the medals in the new year, as well as hopefully interviewing each of the winners about their year! Let’s celebrate, time to party. 2014 is almost here!
