The Bike Days weekend was awesome as always. Dustyn Alt took home the second place. I wanted to try something new, spur of the moment idea as Dustyn downloaded his run to his YT channel back at Dan hennig’s house after the contest. Let’s discuss his run, and get insight into his run.
Watch his full run again here:

FLAT × STREET from TATSUNARI SAKAI on Vimeo.
It’s a busy day here at Flatmattersonline HQ! Amazing production on this new flat/street edit out of Yuki Sakai. Feeling the mix of typography and the visual in this one put together by Tatsunari Sakai. Go watch this!
Something a little different this morning featuring Viki Gomez, Viki teamed up with the Luxembourg Tourism Board along with local street riders Peter Recking and Bijan Kesseler. And show the still very unknown Luxembourg to the world, enjoy the ride!
Daniel Fuhrmann sent in details of a flat jam/contest happening this Friday in Berlin at the Mellowprakr, so your going to have to be quick. One for the German riders checking out Flatmatters that can’t make the Fise contest?
“On Friday 11th Matti from Autum bikes in cooperation with Kunstform will run a flatland jam and on saturday there will be a BMX Flatland Contest at the BMX festival Highway to hill at the mellowpark in Berlin. The highway to hill bmx festival is one of the best bmx events in germany and i’m happy that flatland is now a part of it. As well german riders can earn some points for the german flatland champions there.”
Flatland is full of surprises, the contest floor is a level playing field, and Dustyn Alt sprung a big one this weekend at Bike days taking home the second place spot with a one touch run and nailing his banger first try. Dustyn was in some heavy company, tomorrow I will drop a lil’ insight video into his run and some of the battles he faced during his run. Congratulations to Dustyn once again on the second place, enjoy his run!
The lifestyle is often missing from the modern day edit, just trick, trick. It has become the norm, the Aloha jam post earlier today reminds us of the “other side”. Romulo Guerra & Fabiano just dropped this really nice edit that shows their routine in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, “Velho” is Romulo’s best friend and he practice at Romulo’s home spot in the morning, and Romulo practice at night after he arrives home from his job. Refreshing to watch this!
A couple of months back out of the contest season, Matthias Dandois spent a month over in So Cal working on a street/flatland part for Haro. During that time he took a savage slam which you can see first clip in which resulted in a big medical bill. So its safe to say Matthias put some work in on this edit, this was fun watch and the last rail is a beast! Balls of steel doing that, not to mention the rest which is nice mix of flatland and street, go watch it!
It’s been a full weekend of judging for me with the Bike Days contest in Switzerland, and the Am Master of Creativity contest! Congratulations to Inigo Arroyo Gutierrez who took the top spot in the AM Round 1 contest, well done to everyone who made the top 25!
Plenty of awesome entries and stoked to see 43 riders taking part giving it all they got.
Matthias Dandois celebrated his 29th birthday in style winning the Bike Days 2018 contest in Solothurn, Switzerland followed on the podium by Dustyn Alt who had an amazing run and banger trick, Dustyn was followed by Dominik Nekolny on the podium. It’s been a great weekend in Switzerland, one of the best contest floors of the year and always good vibes.
There is still a shed load of old school footage out there, and I am still going through Danny Sirkin’s channel and finding awesome footage that is perfect for Old School Sundays. This week we have Craig Le Page’s run from 88 AFA Masters, enjoy this one!
