Trek back more easily through some of the best edits here: https://www.flatmattersonline.com/category/must-watch-edits
A couple of FAQ’s I should clear up:
What is innovation of the year? – This award could be a for bike part design, a trick invented, a new style, anything like that!
What does Breakthrough rider of the year mean? – A rider thats pushed himself from the norm, to being a recognised top professional, this could be via contest or via video. Essentially breaking through the ranks, perhaps from 20th at contest to top 5.
Drop me a message if you need anything else explaining. Good luck to everyone! Get voting!

James McGraw – A Year in the Life
A Year in the Life from James McGraw on Vimeo.
James breaks this one down for you: “2013 Has been nothing short of amazing for me. For me this was the best year I had on two wheels. I rode for me not contest or money and personally it paid off. I have to thank first and foremost my wife and kids for letting me follow my passion. I have to thank London Bikes for supporting an old dog like me. Next I have to thank Yellow designs bmx stunt team and a Big shout out to Robert with Bmxfreestyle team for having me along this summer. I am not only a rider but also a huge fan so shout outs to my inspirations, Vickey G, J-Dub, Jason P, Mattihias D, Hiro M, Sir James White, Alex J and the king of Style Uchie. As for others who inspired me with their kind words and friendship I say thanks Todd Carter, Rick Allison, All of the Austin Crew and Jim McKay. I’m out see you next year.”
