Part 1 of my Decade on Flatland piece caused quite a stir amongst the flatland community. It is healthy to hear the opinions of how are art form/sport progressed over the last ten years. In my mind, it’s thought provoking, and gets you thinking about your own personal riding. In Part 2, I fire the same questions as Part 1 to X-foot pivot master Bruno Zebu, Mr Same Thing Daily himself, Dane Beardsley, and Sam Foakes, who has discarded the traditional pumping mid-trick technique for pretty much the last decade. The opinions contrast from Part 1, once again grab a cuppa and treat yourself. I am really enjoying putting these articles together, hope you enjoy reading them.
Enjoy this quick line from Tyler Gilliard, fresh haircut and all and some nice front wheel flow to boot…
Plenty of content to get you pumped for the weekend flatland sessions, Max Cassagne sent in this rad Winter Jam edit from Toulouse, France featuring Matthieu Bonnecuelle, Kevin Jacob, Joachim Sontag, Stephane Suini, Renaud Laspeyres & Maxime Cassagne. Enjoy!
3rd place battle between young ripper, Kio Hayakawa vs the experienced Moto Sasaki from the Chimera Games in Nagoya, Japan last month.
The official One Love Jam edit just dropped, and it’s a banger! Good vibes and great riding from the biggest jam in flatland at the legendary elementary school riding spot in Newport Beach, California. Hit play, and get stoked!
The Flatmattersonline exclusive clips are building nicely, George Manos hit me up this week without even being asked. Super hyped on seeing the clips build, just three weeks in. And already three great clips from Pete Brandt, Sietse van Berkel and now Heresy rider, George Manos.
Its pegruary, and George doesn’t even care, he’s out there doing his thing.
Do you have a clip?
The format is simple, film a clip and holler flatmattersonline at the end, send it in:

Thanks George, for stepping up for episode 3!

Darin Wright just came through with the trailer for the up and coming full edit from the epic 2020 One Love Jam a few weeks back. This one is short and easy on the eye, and flows good! Looking forward to the full version…
