Great documentary that follows Japanese flatland heavy hitters, Yu Katagiri, Moto Sasaki and Yu Shoji as they prepare and compete in the Japanese National Championships. This is really worth you sitting down and watching this one, great insight from both Yu Katagiri and Yu Shoji, and Moto. Grab a cuppa!
Matti Hemmings: Velodrome Session
The current UK Flatland Champion Matti Hemmings, comes through with almost 12 minutes of footage in what looks like one session. Matti is dialled and has a big bag of tricks, lots to take in here. Love the Karl on the fork locked in at the 5:29 mark, its a good day for edits on Flatmattersonline!
Leo Claro: 2023 Compilation
12 minutes of Leo Claro footage from the past year, so good to see one of Brazil’s finest still going hard as ever. He has the stem lash on lock, well worth watching when you got the time…
Must Watch: James White / White Noise
Need some winter motivation? James White delivers an amazing mixtape part showcasing his year-long efforts no matter what the weather.
As James notes, it covers everything from front-wheel to back-wheel action, including unique pedal grinding scuffing circle k’s. Pay attention to the opposite (1:07), switch foot (2:50), spinning opposite (3:25), and switch foot spinning (3:42) – an untapped direction and trick concept.
The combos featuring this concept are also noteworthy. James’s progression and fun approach shine throughout. He skillfully crafts an engaging video. Share your thoughts in the comments!
