Giannis Caternellis – Don’t Touch the Bars
Let’s kick off the last day of 2016 with a good watch from Giannis Caternellis! Here;’s what the man himself had to say:
“SPEAKING OF RULES LATELY LIKE DON’T TOUCH THE TIRE,DONT’ TOUCH THE SEAT, DON’T DROP THE BIKE ETC I WAS THINKING WHAT IF THERE WAS A RULE IN FLATLAND LIKE “DON’T TOUCH THE BARS”. I HAD A LOT OF FUN MAKING THIS VIDEO! JUST REMEMBER: RULES IN FLATLAND ARE ONLY MADE FOR BREAK THEM!”
Lookback: June – The 2016 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards
June got off to a banger with Quentin Pelorson’s Seeking Part 3 edit on June 2nd. From the opening downside whiplash pedal 5 stepped beautifully into x-ft halfpacker, this edit really caught my attention. Quite possibly my favourite line is at the 1:13 mark, I’ve already rewinded this part twice to work out what happened, I could go on and on here.
Oleg Efimov – One week in Paris
Oleg Efimov sent in this nice edit from one week in paris with a great description, here’s what he had to say about the trip.
“This september i and my girlfriend went to Paris for one week. My girl is proffessional speed climber take a part in world championship. For me this trip was a dream! When I was kid and before go to ride i’m always watched flatland video from Opera spot with Alex, Pokemon, Aude, Matthias and etc. I always wanted to ride an Opera, but when my dream almost realized, and I arrived at the Paris, all the riders have been busy all week and I rode alone through famous spots.
Anyway it was dope week, my girl won world champion title, I rode all day long at Paris spots, and I hope next time Paris riders don’t be too busy.
Pete Brandt – Shredding the Clocktower
Bene Pfriem took a trip north up the coast to San Francisco to visit Pete Brandt. Pete as usual was on fire, this didn’t take many tries to make. From the opening hitchhiker darkside, this is a really good watch! Camerawork and editing on point, thank you Bene and Pete for this one!
Lookback: May – The 2016 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards
Springtime is here, and as we all look forward to the summertime. The contests are more frequent, everyone is getting more riding time, and the content on FM grows.
It’s not often we kick off month with a Must Watch edit, but we did that in May of this year, and boy was it a treat!
Japanese flatland legend, Hiroya Morizaki teamed up with Taichi Kunieda to drop these two brand new amazing back wheel lines. So great to see Hiroya is still pushing hard, hitting the rewind again!
Ramón López Colón – December 2016
The end of the year edits continue, today is the turn of Ramón López Colón. Love the multiple whiplashes at the 1:23 mark.
Lookback: April – The 2016 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards
The clocks go forward one hour, that feel good factor that the extra daylight brings, more riding time equals more time filming and documenting what you do. April was a busy month!
Deco’s Chad Degroot kicked off the month and had this to say:
“Since I starting riding my head wants me to learn as much as possible and this includes bars backwards tricks. The beginning of this link I learned this day so to make more smooth flow and no scuffing. The middle has been a gem and great feeling to whip the backend around with no brakes and keep speed. The end is bars backwards and played a huge head game for a bit because I had to push so much momentum to get into the backyard position and pump to keep speed. Real excited to move past the 15 second persona and get onto the longer story of this trick.”
Andrew Sheltraw – Return to Mentor Headlands
Fresh new edit out of Andrew Sheltraw, here he returns to Mentor Headlands Skatepark and grabs a session, lot of slick boomerang variations whilst dodging skateboarders and sometimes not as you will see from the video.
A Wicked Ride – Joe Johnson Scene
Great scene from the “A Wicked Ride” movie, this scene is themed around Joe Johnson and one of his creations, the Tailwhip Air. Good job on this Scott Moroney out in New England.
