This video was insane back in the day, and still I watched this today and theres parts that are killer today, and parts where you are left thinking wow that particular trick hasnt progressed much at all? Andrew Arroyo blew me away on this video, so smooth, junkyard glide to death truck,hang five step around to halfpacker, eons ago…Puente xft coasting frontyard?? people only just doing that now…Classic Jones,Gouin, Brandt footage, this stuff is golden.

This is one of Peter Olsens contributions, keep an eye out for more blasts from the blasts in the next coming week or so.. Let us know what you think..

Last week I wrote on this blog that Hotoke is underrated, ive been been watching this edit below a fair bit lately and thought id stick it up, insane ease of which he pivots from two footed hang 5 to xft crackpacker flip to steam, buttery, one of my favourite riders for sure, much respect.

Enjoy the vid, from 143 onwards..

Awesome to see Rob Alton still riding, and progressing…

Stuart Dawkins @ Seventies has kindly sent flatmatters “the ten years of backyard boxset”, 6 dvds, featuring Backyard 1992, KOC 1992, Behold the wonders that never cease, Angus, Unlock your bmx, Location, Last Resort, Word, Livid, Less is more, From Love to hate and back again, number 10, and the Anthology break down of the ten years. Plenty of flatland contained within this gem! Audio commentaries also as bonus, flatland wise from likes of myself, Amos Burke, and Dave Beveridge.

One of highlights is Dylan Worsley’s section on Angus (1993), what I want to know to win the Backyard boxset is:

Where did Dylan Worsley reside in the UK? Was it?

1) Weymouth
2) Southsea
3) Worthing

The answer was Worthing…

A lot of entries thought it was Southsea.

The winner out of the hat, was……………Chris Taylor from Manchester…………. Congrats!!!!! Awaiting your address Chris, so check your email! 🙂 Fantastic prize!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered, good bit of fun.

Keelan emailed details of contest hes putting on, more information, such as rider invites etc coming next week…

hi guys, just letting you know about a comp myself and lee musselwhite are holding on 25th and 26th july, its called ‘world bmx battle’ its gonna be huge!, the most important thing about this contest is that it is put on by the government (council)- no companies or sponsors invloved, so this is a massive step forward for flatland, the government are fully supporting a flatland event which shows they are now taking flatland as seriously as other sports and paving the way for more flatland,
it is going to be bang in the middle of the busy city center of my hometown ‘leicester’, free for the public to watch, and held on a weekend where it is very busy in the city, gonna be a stage with big tv screens/music e.t.c so its gonna be a huge contest with a huge audience and it will be 1 on 1 battles! there will even be a noise-meter so show how loud the crowd get for each rider!

Great edit, with banging riding for Ucchie and Tsutomu Kitayama. Enjoy!
