James McGraw is quite rightly very excited about the contest area for the 2016 Battle in the Rockies contest in November. Take a look! Here’s what James had to say:
“Finalizing the details for this years battle but the venue this year is the best we have ever had 55’000 sq ft every rider will have their own space.”

Matthias Dandois and Alex Jumelin are finally back in Paris, and this week bring a great how-to hitchhiker episode, including some great variations to boot!
Dub has been working on his amazing inside switch b rolling brakeless undertaker all winter long and has come up with 8 new variations in this amazing new “Upgrade 2: Undercover” edit, from the opening inside switch b undertaker to two footed backyard I was gripped to this. If I had to pick a standout it would be the ant rider turbines directly into inside switch b undertaker out at around the 2:45, furious! This is amazing, hitting the rewind, take a concept and push it as far as you can!

Owen Bohn is without a doubt one of the rising stars on the flatland scene right now, peep this really nice back wheel line he just dropped for his Progress series. Really liked the no-handed junkyard turbine around the 00:27 mark!

Making the most of rainy day in Trinidad, hit play for a fun edit by Kestrel Roopnarine the spinning dump truck line at 1:04 is pretty sweet!
It’s a good day for edits here on Flatmatters, and as always Giannis brings so much variety to his edits. The highlight of the 58th episode in his freestyler series is the hitchhiker jump to xft hitch jump back to hitch at the 6:39 mark. In a year and half, Giannis has brought 1250 combos to us all! Amazing talent!
The legendary annual BMX Cologne contest is just a few weeks away, feel the Old School vibes in this Domplatte Köln 1987 edit!
Amazing new edit by one of the most underrated cats in the game, Takuya Higa! The Light of Dawn really comes alive at the 1:28 mark with a super nice inside x ft karl bar flip direct to hitch turbine line, my favourite line of this edit is the jump to xft inside karl backwards xft spinning steam flowed into xft karl turbine jump to spinning hitch, great stuff from Takuya and yukipkoproject!
