Matthieu Bonnecuelle – 2015 Flatmattersonline Breakthrough Rider of the Year Interview
Intro/Interview: Effraim.
Photography: Max Cassagne, Tom Sevisual, Stephane Bar.
I think of the phrase “Action speak louder than the words” when I see the riding of Matthieu Bonnecuelle, he chooses to do the hardest tricks that many thought impossible or simply have not thought of.
Whether we talk about his no handed whiplash at BMX Cologne in 2014, the double xft backwards whiplash he dropped last year (see his Axiom Leviathan edit below), the riding speaks volumes. This young ginger haired man from the south of France continues to paint a fresh picture with his flatland riding.
It’s time to interview this amazing talent that was voted by many of you as the Flatmattersonline Breakthrough Rider of the Year, without further a due, welcome to the Matthieu Bonnecuellle interview.
Must Watch! Mateus Beckmann – SAMPA BMX MB Frame Promo
In terms of the flatland/street crossover it’s of course debatable, but I would say no one right now is as progressive in that style of riding than this young prodigy from Brazil, Mateus Beckmann!
5:30 of fresh flat/skatepark footage that leaves you scratching your head, is there anything this young talent cannot do.
I’m already on the fourth watch before I posted this, some of the highlights so far include:
-180 hop backwards manual junkyard line at 00:26.
-The x-fted BB manual to decade out of the two footed backyard line at 1:36.
-The huge 5 off flat bank half cab whip out around 2:18.
-Inward direction half bar flip decade at 2:37
I could go on, definitely worth watching this young prodigy do his thing and kill it hard on all terrain. Motivational!
Throwback Thursdays with Shintaro Misawa
At least once a year it is worth reposting this epic part from flatland jedi, Shintaro Misawa filmed between 2007-2010! Few can move around the bike and execute moves with buttery style like Shintaro, well worth a rewatch!
