  2. Man, choosing between the 2 S&M edits for best of year is way too hard… White and Olsen need to co-own that title. =)
    Congrats to all the nominees! 2015 was definitely a year of new boundaries for flat…

  3. Really thought James McGraw should have been on the rider list – competing for over 25 years, just outside the top 10 the last two years on the World Circuit with no major sponsor while running a business, making it to all the big jams and putting on a big comp that gives riders a chance to win free travel to said comp (who else does that?) all while riding at a high level in his mid 40’s. True freestyler – his dedication to flatland is immense. Total respect!

  4. Thanks for your input Prasheel. However, all the companies nominated earned it. Since the riders vote. It’s good to see that despite the negative intentions of a few the flatland world isn’t fooled and the riders see which companies are out there doing good and promoting the sport. Congrats to igi, ares, deco, heresy and quest!

    • Sorry Dane, for me video parts and edits are two different things.Thats why I left John’s video part out of the top 5, it’s something more than edit. I loved something daily, theres nothing else really to compare it to within the scene. Against all odds is more of a lifestyle video, I can’t speak for everyone else but thats my two cents.

    • SameThingDaily 3 was the most memorable video I watched in 2015.

      It began with John Yull having an “I have a secret” look in his eye at Battle with Alliteration. Then it continued with me running downstairs to the movie room and opening an empty DVD case.
      It culminated with a viewing a few days later at TD2 when I had to not live-Tweet the premier because I couldn’t take my eyes off.
      The last scene gave me goosebumps.

      Huge props to Dane for inventing the series.

  5. Congratulation to all..and happy new flatland year..Just a question. Are we voting for this to have the winners? cause i see no dead end for voting.Thank you
