Alexis Desolneux, Matthieu Bonnecuelle, Jigen Omotehara, Sebastian Grubinger, George Manos, Jeanne Seigneur, Takahiro Enoki and Peter Olsen get together to bring you Heresy’s second mixtape. Love this quick fire format, and am already hitting the rewind. Must Watch time!
Congratulations to Heresy team, with Sevisual in the mix. Why break a winning formula?
The Nora Cup nominees for 2025 are in for Flatlander of the Year, the nominees are Julien Baran, Kio Hayakawa, Yu Katagiri, Yohei Uchino and Yu Shoji! Who does your your vote go to?
Lee Musselwhite just came through with a banger edit to start the week here on Flatmattersonline, after numerous watches in my opinion, I think this is some of Lee’s best work to date.
From the opening move at 00:12 with the multiple crashes, you know Lee has put some work into this “Entropy” edit.
No filler in this edit, my favourites being the forwards no-footed backyard one handed, aka the “Minesweeper” body varial out at 00:12, 00:42 the pivot out of another of Lee’s signature moves the Phoenix, the minesweeper pivot ending in two footed forward death truck out opposite at 1:42! Mix it all in with Lee’s spider glide move nailed to perfection.
The Wu Tang track goes hard with Lee’s riding too.
Thank you Lee for taking the time on this one, edit of the year just went up a notch.
Always curious to see what George Manos is up to, and something that’s not said enough is it’s great to see riders just out their having fun. Ultimately what this whole BMX thing is all about, and George manifests this really well in this new flat/street jib edit, “Kybanario” that gives me shades of Simone Barraco.
Yesterday, I got a surprise from Alexis Desolneux over at Heresy HQ!
Jigen Omotehara is the latest addition to the Heresy team, that is growing again, that is pretty amazing news in the current climate.
Not only the news, but also a great, short and sweet edit to boot that Heresy and Jijen managed to keep quiet until this release.
Jigen has a unique style and flow to his riding, the edit is around 2:20 long, so this is a easy one to digest.
The line at cross foot crackpacker pivot line at 1:46, had me hitting rewind quite a few times, all of his lines are unique, love the switch pedal 5 footjam and flips steam at 00:35.
Sevisual on the editing skills, nice track, great to see a good riding edit in the middle of summer. Totally not expecting this!
Get used to the name, Jigen Omotehara has a big future, kudos to Heresy for having the foresight to pick him up!
Congratulations to Yohei Uchino who took the win yesterday at the X Games in Osaka, Japan followed on the podium by Moto Sasaki and Yu Katagiri. Best trick format for this years event, you can watch the full flatland event from the 1:31 mark on the livestream video below…

After Fise Montpellier, Julien Baran met up Jigen Ometehara in Paris, and in between sessions filmed this high level game of bike. This is a fun watch!
Great to receive this video edit in my inbox, I’ve seen Danny riding on instagram, but watching back to back like this is another ball game. Danny lives out in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and comes from a Flat/street background, as this edit eludes to.
Lots of unique takes on tricks with style to boot, make this one a really interesting watch.
Keep on progressing Danny, and filming, love this!
This was a nice surprise in my inbox, James White and Johann Chan went in search of the perfect flatland spot in South West London this week. Great filming and vibe to this one, and the requested double hang glider at the end is perfect.
Great to see some fresh Yu Katagiri and Takato Moriya footage out of Japan, throw in a TEP posse edit and you know your onto a winner. Great mix in styles between Yu Katagiri, Yuta Watanabe, Sota Watanabe, Kota Ikeda, and Takato Moriya.
Yu’s banger at 1:10 had me hitting the rewind numerous times to work what he did, good mixes in styles between all the riders, short and sweet with Takato finishing their visit to Osaka at 2:53 with more back wheel craziness.
I love to see this out of the Japanese riders, we don’t see enough of these guys on the site!
