Solid edit right here from Spanish stylecat, Varo Hernandez to celebrate being welcomed to Action Wheels, the first BMX shop in Madrid. Love the direction Varo’s riding is going in, one of the smoothest in the game, plus some quality filming and editing. This is really good!

Must Watch: Sebastian Grubinger / Reminiscence
I have no idea what’s going on right now with all these amazing edits, but I love it! We are currently in “Must Watch” season a few months earlier than I anticipated.
And this man, Heresy’s Sebastian Grubinger’s continues to be one of my favourite riders, video parts were made of this guy and he doesn’t disappoint here revisiting some classic Grubinger lines that still hold up to this day. I’ll be watching this one for a while, and you might well be too!
Highlights for me:
00:28: peg to peg boomerang to switch foot backwards peg wheelie pivot to backwards rolling straddle-roni.
1:09: Whiplash around the bars to Karl 360 bar flip out.
1:39: A forwards bar flip Karl line I’ve wanted to see Sebastian re-do for years.
Must Watch: James White / Pivitski
When I said yesterday that it’s “Must Watch” season, I wasn’t joking. Right here, we have a contender for edit of the year when we get to the 2024 Flatmattersonline Year-End Awards in December. Years of bike mastery have gone into not only the technique (the back wheel line at 2:23 springs to mind as a standout) but also the ability to wait for the right timing and not rush it, to execute rolling so slowly out of an almost stationary hitchhiker at 3:49.
There are so many details in James’ riding that are second to none; check the ender at 4:37. Going back for my fifth watch of this before I post it, this is already a classic in my mind.
I’m a big fan of the multiple angles in this as well as the black and white, which give this a fresh feel compared to his previous edits.
Must Watch: YOKOSUKA UMIKAZE JAM 2024
It feels like Must Watch season is upon us, and this Yokosuka Umikaze jam edit that Jimalog put together is full of good vibes and bangers that we need to talk about, and particularly the last line Yu Katagiri does at 4:13, in a run by the sounds of things. One of the best lines of the year and this edit is on rewind, and James White’s edit to look forward to tomorrow. Life is good, lets discuss this one in the comments!
George Manos: Dragpazen
There is much to be admired about George Manos riding, the man does what he wants and doesn’t follow what anyone else does. This “Dragpazen” edit gave me the feel of a survellience camera watch George’s section, I always really liked the experimental feel where tricks aren’t necessarily finished, but he’s showing his sketchbook of ideas. True artist.
Milkshake Mixtape: Thiago BB & Anthony Schneidewind
One of the great things about social media and technology is collaborations with riders you might never meet are possible, here we have Thiago BB from Brazil and Anthony Schneidewind from the USA, great to see projects like this. Enjoy!
Rodney Williams: Session 2
Think about this, some of Rodney Wiliam’s one hit links are longer than your sessions at home! The man’s endurance is something else, more power to Rodney!
Sebastian Grubinger: Never Lost But Found
Sebastian hit me up this morning, asking what he would do with this footage. Put it out on Instagram and Youtube I replied. Here’s what Sebastian had to say:
“Recently found a CD with old files on at home. Surprisingly riding clips I totally forgot about. Not sure what what we filmed for back then. Must have been around 2005/06. Filmed by Markus Redlberger in Linz(A), Ajka(H) and Vienna. Good times & great memories!”
Jason Forde: Vortex
Plenty of updates from across the globe to get you hyped, lets get to it! Jason Forde just dropped this new “Vortex” edit with a nice mix of old and new moves battling the windy conditions. As Jason commented its all about time on the bike!
