Kevin Jones: BMX Hall of Fame 2022

Posted on by — 8 Comments ↓

Congratulations to Kevin Jones, finally inducted to the Bmx Hall of Fame last weekend! This accolade has been a long time coming, when you think about Kevin’s contributions to modern day flatland and BMX in general it is hard to measure it truly. The inventor of the Hang 5 would be enough to have Kevin listed on the Hall of Fame, but there is so much more (as you all know or should know), there’s the Hitchiker, Backpacker, John Doenut, Circle K, Time Machine, Dump Truck, Death Truck, and many many more.

His video parts on Mark Eaton’s Dorkin’ in York videos have helped shape and change the progression of modern day flatland forever.

His acceptance speech during the award ceremony is so humble it speaks volumes of the man himself! You can tune in at 1:01:43 mark.

Fight the Winter 2022 Road Trip

Posted on by — Leave comments ↓

There was no way for Malte Orth to organise the annual Fight the Winter contest earlier in the year, so it was time for him to hit the Road. He was on the Road, February to March 2022. His Mission was to ride with as many of the riders from Germany as possible, that came to the ‘Fight the Winter’ Contest at one time. Love the concept of this one, flatland is a community thing and be dope to see more edits like this!

Chris Young & Pete Brandt: Clocktower Sessions

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Two Flatland Assassins, Chris Young & Pete Brandt took over the Clocktower in San Francisco, California recently for a session in the Fall whilst Chris was in town. Flatland is all about different styles, and friends pushing each other, and this comes through right here with Chris’ glass smooth flow across the granite marble riding surface, and Pete’s attack mode on both and front/back wheel make this one a fun watch, look out for Pete’s last line at 2:58!

Joe Cicman: Like Heaven 2022

It’s Flatland Assassin Friday today on FM, first up this great edit from Flatland Meme master, Joe Cicman! Joe is a master of multiple hitch jugglers, multiple Jaffa whips (love the line at 1:57!), and looks like he’s been putting in a lot of work dialling in his original lines at the Terradome this past year. I’ve often thought about having an edit with one set camera angle, Joe’s done. Kudos Mr Cicman, go watch this one!

Must Watch: Giannis Caternellis / Freestyler #120

Posted on by — 55 Comments ↓

120 Freestyler edits from the prolific Giannis Caternellis, this one kept through the system until now. What a treat from Giannis, that opening line is absolutely bonkers in difficulty level alone, and made me ponder a question I would like to ask the flatland community. If a rider is doing a combination of tricks that no one else touches yet its been done before in parts but combo’ed differently. Is that original?
The backpacker jump to hitch and then one footed hitch at around the 3:15 mark is ridiculous and its a good case in point. So much take in here, a definite Must Watch for your Sunday feed!
