Must Watch: Brandon Fenton/ Lashed Out
The whiplash road of progression in flatland, not many walk the walk.. Brandon Fenton is one of those guys, that’s taken the time to master the skill, commitment and balance point. Offloading a few years worth of variations, there’s numerous examples to highlight.
2:10: Just off a foot jam, how many backwards whiplashes Brandon can do, not to mention spot envy. 10 backwards whiplashes is so hard, backwards bar variation at 3:09 too!
2:44: Opposite side downside whiplashes might be one of the best looking flatland tricks ever, here Brandon makes it look easy…
4:36: Regular backwards whiplashes rebate to opposite backwards whiplashes.
5:30: Opposite whiplashes turbine no scuff to backwards whiplashes.
And many more like I said, the lonely road of whiplash progression seems few and far between in modern day flatland world. Loved this edit Brandon put together, a pure artist unlocking the codes and his technique is on point. Respect!
The Last Jam at Amsterdam Indoor Spot
The guys in Amsterdam organized a jam at their legendary indoor spot. Infamous for the Dez Maarsen videos over the years, the crew organised one last jam before the spot gets demolished soon. Juan Niables made the trip from Paris to hook up with the scene and celebrate the spot one last time. Well worth a watch, hope the Dutch guys find a new spot soon..
Alexis Desolneux: The Lost Tapes
Johann Chan recently found old footage of Alexis Desolneux from a trip to Paris in 1994.
Alexis went on to become a pioneer in brakeless riding, so it was nice to re-visit this old (pre-brakeless) footage and re-cut it to music we listened to at the time.
Music: Reclamation by Fugazi.
Marton Szilagyi: Over 54 Part 1 & 2
Catching up on edits after the Flatmattersonline Year end awards, here are two beauties from Marton Szilagyi, aka OG Marton. This man does not age, and has one of the biggest trick bags in the game, always a treat to see what he’s up to. Well worth a watch!

Shane Khajehnoori: 2024 Year End Flatland Edit
Shane Khajehnoori adds a little flavour to the Degroot walk around in this sick 2024 year end edit. Great to see some fresh Shane footage, its been a while. He’s still out there smashing it, this is good and worth a watch!
George Manos: Soothenight
It’s been a good year for George Manos, already a couple of edits deep! George’s edits always feel like to me, a sketchbook full of ideas and directional hints of where his riding is going. Really amazing that as he digs deeper more options unfold still in pegless riding.
Couple of standouts here: The slow carved nose manual to stalled nose at 1:22, and the last trick, which is like an ankledeath no handed pedal karl to hang nothing sat on top tube at 1:40.
Looking forward to seeing where this direction goes, and thank you George. Respect!
