Scotty Cranmer and Big Boy met up with Kip Williamson, Chad Degroot, Marco Dejesus and Scott Weaver to try and conquer some of the moves from the 101 Tricks freestyle book at Degroot’s shop as he was moving out. This is a fun watch, and with Scotty’s YouTube following, it is great Scotty is covering flatland!
Episode 7: Flatmattersonline exclusives with Sebastian Grubinger
The Flatmattersonline exclusives are becoming a thing, and Heresy rider Sebastian Grubinger just came through with a belter!
Sebastian’s riding always commands my attention, whether it is a must watch video part or a too good for Instagram clip. His riding is always fresh, and I love that he put in some work into getting this clip done for episode 7, (watch the failed attempts, the fact he shows the falls is awesome!)…
We went back and forth discussing the bar flip ride-out, as I was trying the bar backwards hang 5 to bar flip out. I got injured whilst Sebastian was trying to get this clip done, and as you can see he makes it look easy and not only that adds in an awesome ride-in that flows so well with rideout, and middle part of the line before getting to the rideout is so technical. The whole line together like that is ridiculous, and something we have come to expect from one of the best video riders in the game!
Thanks Sebastian for contributing towards the series, episode 7 is in the bag.
The response since I announced the Flatmattersonline exclusive clip will be a year award has been amazing, and already a few heads are working heavy clips for future episodes.
Who’s got next weeks clip? Episode 8 is on the horizon, same time next week….
Must Watch: Austin Luberda / Daydream
Let it be said that I was a fan of Austin Luberda’s riding the first time I met him at Battle in the Rockies around five years ago. There was something about his riding that set him apart from everyone else in the arena, it was instantly recognisable. It’s not something I can ever put my finger on exactly why, it’s one of those situations where you can just recognise it and of course appreciate his talent.
Daydream is Austin’s latest project, and like the title suggests. We all write down our dream moves, but can you get them done? The slick editing and not to mention Austin’s memorising riding that could also put you in a dream state adds to this project a lot. What did I just watch? There was so much going on in this edit, and Austin still despite back wheel becoming more and more trendy, find new ways to make me scream at the laptop. Let’s take a different approach to my normal Must Watch edit description style, this time you tell me what’s great about this edit and why Austin stands out….

Episode 6: Flatmattersonline Exclusives with Varo Hernandez
Welcome back, it’s that time of the week!
Episode 6 of the Flatmattersonline exclusive clips features one of the smoothest young flatlanders on the contest circuit… Varo Hernandez from Madrid, Spain. I feel Varo is on the verge of breaking into that elite top 8 in the contests, and I am stoked he got involved in contributing towards this progression series of clips I have been posting every Wednesday. That last switch brakeless, is amazing!
Today, I also have a BIG announcement! (and I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this earlier…)
The line of the year award will now become the Flatmattersonline exclusive clip of the year award! It’s time to get filming, and send in your best clip.
Big thanks to Varo, for stepping up.
Who’s got the next clip?
