It’s not often I promote myself on the site. A few weeks ago I caught up with Jon Dowker and Anthony Berardi for a chat for an episode of the BMX Banter podcast.
We discuss my roots in riding, the U.K. scene, why I run Flatmattersonline, competing across the globe for thirty years, my new edit, plus my views on so many rider related topics such as Instagram vs Videoparts, and much more.

Francois Debroux introduces Episode 32 of the hang 5 Podcast….
“For this episode I sat down with smooth rolling Sietse Van Berkel from Holland.
He has been in the game for 20 years and slowly but surely cemented his place among the elite with a win at Master of Creativity in 2018 and now being invited in events such as RedBull Circle of Balance and the Japan X Games. Lots of insights into his philosophy and vision for our artform.
PS – due to some unfortunate technical issues, the sound might be low at times, I recommend you use headphones for listening to this episode.”
