Old School Sundays with Derek Schott
Not seen this run before from Derek Schott, worthy of this weeks OSS! The man who invented the rolled (and drops it second attempt at the end of his run!), and a whole lot more besides. Derek was so good, watch this one the whole way through, the run builds after a few early mistakes.
The Green Mile BMX Flatland Consciousness

2020 AresBikes Aplus & A/Kid Comp PV
I said many times here on Flatmattersonline, York Uno and AresBikes over in Japan really do a great job feeding the next generation into flatland. Minato Sato stars in this short promo video for the Ares kids’ bike, love this!
Jeff Desroche – After Accident 1
In 2010, Jeff Desroche was hit by a truck while he was walking on the side of the road. It’s taken Jeff nine years to get back to a point where he feels like he can progress again doing what he loves. Flatland! One of the best styles in the game for sure, the way Jeff moves around the bike is something else, so stoked to see Flatland can help and does help in your mental health. This Part 1 in a three part series, really looking forward to the next parts. This is so good, flatland really does matter!
Voodou Jam – Japanese Style
Great footage from the recent Voodou Jam in Japan, not to to be confused with the Voodoo Jam in New Orleans. Hit play for some killer riding from the likes of Masashi Itani, Enoki Takahiro, Shinde Yoshihiro (look out for the wild rock walk type move at the 2:30 mark), and I can’t ID the shredder on the green bike who won the jam, amazing riding!

Big congratulations to Dominik Nekolny who won the 2019 Nora Cup Flatlander of the Year award on Saturday night at the Voodoo jam, presented for Our BMX by Chad Degroot. By all accounts Dom gave a heartfelt speech which I hope someone has recorded when he was presented with the award.
Here’s what Dom had to say about winning the award:
“This cup stands for all the fucking hard work I put in this year, and all the sacrifices I made to get where I’m now today. And believe me it was a lot – I’m kind of glad it happened like this, cause I am not used to get things easy and I really wanted to deserve it.”
