The 2017 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards


Design credit: Johann Chan.

Yesterday I celebrated 9 years of running Flatmattersonline. Thank you for all the positive feedback on the site and on my social media, it’s pretty amazing to me that the site continues to grow going into it’s tenth year. Next year I have some bigger plans with the site that I am really excited to get working on in the new year.

Now its time to get to the 2017 Flatmattersonline Year End awards and if you have already scrolled down before reading me ramble on you will have noticed that I have changed a few of the categories to reflect more of what is going on with the site. “Innovation of the Year” and “Brand of the Year” are gone and replaced with “Most Progressive Rider”, “Outstanding Contribution”, and “Line of the Year” which is something I wanted to do last year but didn’t get around to it. This year you will also notice the awards are evenly matched 5 each for myself as the editor of flatmattersonline and 5 for you the reader.

Without further a due, it’s time to start researching and digging back through the year at what’s gone on.
