Jason Plourde – Transitions from Global Flat on Vimeo.
Jason Plourde has one of the most powerful styles I have seen in flatland, stomping long back wheel lines with decades at the beginning is not the norm! Jim McKay stepped up and edited this incredible footage that Jason has been working on for the past year, don’t miss this!
It’s been a while since a full Keisuke Tanigawa edit dropped, and this gets progressively more out of hand as the edit goes on! At around 2:31, The xft ankledeath ride in boomerang kick to opposite xft hang five on the right foot jump through the frame to spinning ck on the same foot is incredible, i’ve already rewound this several times to comprehend what’s going on! Definitely give this one a watch! Thanks to Flatism for sending this in!

So far a great response to the Flatmatters Online Awards 2013! With close to 100 votes already in! 26 days left to think about your votes and get them in – Deadline is Monday 30th December at 3pm GMT!
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!
