Lookback: September 2015 – Flatmattersonline 2015 Year end awards

September is always one of the busiest months of the year, and this year was absolutely off the chart. Take a check through my highlights and you will see what I mean!


September 4th will be remembered for Martti Kuoppa’s, 10 Stemlashes! You can always count on the boss to raise the stakes, as if this isn’t enough the description hints of a return to KGB? Great news! Someone looks like they are ready for flatark…

Must Watch! Dez Maarsen – Lost Tapes Pt 3

This last week has been out of hand with amazing edits and it continues right here with Dez Maarsen and his “Lost Tapes Part 3” edit! From the opening combo, forward karl half packer one handed two footed pivot xft steam body varial to halfpacker line at 00:38 I was gripped to this, other highlights for me include the forward karl pivot backwards spinning xft spinning steam shove it halfpacker pivot xft steam line at 2:02 (so many switches with very little deadtime!).
Dez is known as a front wheel killer, but also shreds on back wheel too, I loved the two footed backyard gliding gerator pivot xft turbine pivot back to two footed backyard around the 2:50 mark, and the ending hang ten pivot backwards spinning karl to xft halfpacker line is ridiculous! Enjoy this christmas treat from Dez!

Respect!

Dominik Nekolný – Christmas is BACKwheel

What a good day it’s been for edits, hyped to see some new Dominik Nekolný footage and even more so especially as he’s riding back wheel! The triple Degroot style undertaker line at 00:25 is so clean, digging the focus and pushing one concept in this, and in typical Dom style, the technique is perfect! Look out!
