Later today I am flying out to China for two weeks for the Fise World Finals and the UCI World Championships taking place in Chengdu. Updates will be a lot slower on the site during the next two weeks (back in the UK on the 11th November).
A real treat tonight from over ten years of footage primarily from the Mid West scene in the USA. Anthony Schneidewind is not only one talented rider, but also quite the film maker. Featuring the likes of Chris Armstrong, Ron Monis, Todd Gully, Seth Johnson, Chad Gale, Kestrel Roopnarine, Dan Hamilton, Marty Clark, Anthony Schneidewind, Chase Gouin, Jean William Prevost, Mates Tucek, Will Redd, James McGraw, Matt Wilhelm and many more.. This one is well worth your time and attention, and all in dedication to a special man who touched all of our hearts, RIP Hiro Tsuchida.
Short and sweet, James White is back again sliding across his fresh basketball court riding spot in the rain no less.
Thiago BB 41st Birthday Edit from Adam Guild on Vimeo.
Thiago BB out of Brazil celebrates his 41st birthday with a solid edit put together by the man behinds Doses, Adam Guild. Happy birthday Thiago BB!
Some nice progression out of Tamás Varga from Hungary, smooth as you like turbine whiplash at the 1:03 mark. Thanks for sharing Tamás!
Pure gold from the BMX archives with great flatland footage from 1992 from the King of Concrete, Rider Cup and various UKBFA contests (Mansfield, etc) featuring the likes of Chase Gouin, Dylan Worsley, James White, (yours truly) Effraim Catlow, Amos Burke, and many more. Worth a watch, straight up BMX!
This one is kind of hard to watch, as the footage focuses on three riders at the same time, Moto Sasaki ended up taking the Japanese National Championships in Okayama.
What a response, we got from the first episode of FlatSnitches. Myself and Pete are super stoked and humbled by all the feedback. FS is a labour of love dedicated to being an educational resource on the history of trick inventions for flatlanders spanning across all generations of our artform.
What we realised after the first episode is that these are episodes that can be updated as useful information (“art of facts as Pete calls it) comes forward. This wasn’t something we considered when we started FS.
We had numerous riders, for example reach out with further information about Jesse Puente doing the Plasticman after we published the first article. Articles can be updated much like tricks are, you get a refresh every so often and learn more about tricks you love to do on the daily.
Like clock work, it’s Friday and a fresh Nick Watts edit to get your teeth into from his sessions in his backyard riding spot. Some nice variations experimenting with switch foot mega spin half whopper to fire hydrant, Nick rules!

Misato rips on a bike, whether training his students at his flat school in Japan, practicing at his spot, or on the big stages of the Fise World Series. Not only does he throw down some of the craziest and lines on his bike, but he is one of the most chilled riders on the circuit. Dusty Tweedhope catches up with Mr Ito, really enjoyed this chat with Misato!
