Falls from 2010-2016 from Adam Guild on Vimeo.
Almost all the edits I post here on Flatmattersonline feature the finished article in terms of riding, Adam Guild here bucks the trend in this edit that documents “Falls from 2010-2016”.
Here’s what Adam had to say:
“After several years off you decide you want to ride again, let this video be a warning- it’s a tough road ahead and only the strong survive.”
With a lot of what I call the :Video heavy weights” filming for Master of Creativity this year, you can forgive me for thinking the year was kind of done with regard to Must Watch edits and the like. How wrong I was? What stood out the most for me in this new “fall” edit from John Yull was the progression he has made on the power mower saran wrap stall moves that are totally groundbreaking, and of course throw in John’s multiple foot jam decade skills! You have one hell of a Christmas treat, thanks John!
As I like to do with Must watch edits, here are my personal highlights:
00:12: Half lash to foot jam head grab one handed stall to smith out.
00:49: Footjam decade land right foot peg left foot pedal kick to peg wheelie decade out. Very tech!
1:00: Bars backwards saran wrap stall direct to foot jam decade!
1:23: Halflash to regular side smith stall switch to power mower to decade.
1:31: Bar spinning power mower stall one handed to foot jam decade!
1:38: Double foot jam decade with a quick no handed one footed stall thrown in just to throw the difficulty up some, not to mention originality!
2:05: Bars backwards Candy bar saran wrap stall to bars backwards foot jam decade out, one of the wildest clips for sure!
2:17: John is on a death wish here with the banger clip, double foot jam decade with the second decade one handed! WTF!!
Hitting the rewind yet??
March is always a good month, springtime is coming and after a long winter its nice to be able to ride outside again. Not to mention generally there is a whole lot more content coming through from riders worldwide.
On the first day of March, Paul Chamberlain just dropped a real nice promo for the Down Underground 2016 series, filmed at his local riding spot in Summer Hill. Plenty of awesome hang 5 variations in signature Paul Chamberlain smooth style, well worth watching again.
It seems a lot of riders are documenting their Christmas sessions, I am catching up after a day off yesterday. Alejandro Marques documented his Christmas Eve session, check it out!
This strikes a different chord than what I usually give the “Must Watch” tag for, I really enjoyed the insight of this video with Matthias talking about contest riding, judging, flat/street, creativity, muscle memory and for the finale he creates a new “NBD” move at 6:43! Turbine two footed backyard jump half backwards decade to boomerang to right handed halfpacker! Grab a cuppa and enjoy this one!
As Christmas draws closer Giannis Caternellis just sent in a fresh new edit inspired by the interviews we did over the last month, here’s what he had to say:
“I am not afraid to talk about originality, it’s not a taboo subject. Originality sometimes comes naturally, other times you have to work hard. It doesn’t matter, the result is the same. I am not any special rider, I’ve said it before, I am only a soldier of flatland and the last interview I did with Effraim I searched deep and I mean really deep to my soul to find why I started flatland, why I continue and why is so important to me…
Flatland is a part of me, it;s in my blood. It’s not about if I love or hate flatland. I am flatland. That’s it. The message I want to send to all flatlanders around the world is that don’t be afraid to be different.”
Zols ETM is always on point with regular updates from the Nagaoka Niigata, Japan scene. Today it is the turn of Hiroki Kawakami, enjoy.

"FUMIYA KANNA" Welocome to the team 'ENEMY' from Shinya Kanna on Vimeo.
It’s a good week for edits as Christmas 2016 draws closer, here’s a fresh Fumiya Kanna Welcome to the Enemy Team edit to get your teeth into! Shot on what looks like a rooftop location, glass smooth floor and a wicked sunset, the vibes are good! The nose foot jam jump to steam at 00:24 gets me every time, look out for the backwards steam bar flip jump to crackpacker at 1:28 and the ender at 2:10. Fumiya’s riding is easy on the eye. enjoy this one!
