Matti Rose Bikecheck!
Intro: Effraim.
Photos: Provided by Matti.
Many of you might not know the face behind DeepBMX, Autum Bikes and the new Bloody Shins Webstore. The guy that brought flatland back to the annual Masters/Worlds contest! That face is Matti Rose! Matti burst on the flatland scene around 1998/99 on a blue GT Show. Matti is perhaps best known riding wise for his signature backwards timemachine flip to upside down megaspin.
As always I try to cover a large spectrum of riders and styles to keep things fresh. Nowadays Matti is well overdue some coverage, peep his pimped out Autum ride right here! Thanks for all you do for flatland Matti!

Throwback Thursdays with Steve Mulder!
Steve Mulder BMX flatland 1995 from Burd Phillips on Vimeo.
I posted this before but maybe you missed this one the first time round. Steve killing it back in 1995! Digging the old feel that comes through with the quality, as well as the forgotten moves that get dropped in this one, one handed/multiple straddle-roni’s, plus so much more. Amazing riding!
