Crank up your volume and get psyched for today session. Nick Watts is so good to watch, couple of standouts for me in this edit that I wish to highlight: the line at 00:08 and the movement when he rebates the bike back is just incredible and the flip upside down mega spin kind of stalling out the scuffing to smith out at 1:08 made my day! Quite reading my description and go watch this, Nick Watts rules!

We don’t see enough of Keelan Phillips here on Flatmattersonline, so today I am stoked to share his latest November 2018 edit. keen has one of the most solid and best styles in the game. Always refining what he is doing, each line is pretty much perfect technique. Go hit play and get stoked for your session today!

Must Watch – Austin Luberda / Autumn Flow
Starting the week off with a banger with Austin Luberda, I have had the pleasure over the last five years at Battle in the Rockies of watching Austin come through the ranks from Amateur to now modern day a top professional rider that has a shot of taking the win every time he competes.
If you are familiar with Austin’s riding, which I hope you are. You will be aware the man is blessed with natural flow, over the last few years Austin has added his own style and unique lines and movements to this flow. This edit “Autumn flow” hits hard from the very beginning and contains a scary pivot move that Austin makes look easy (which I will talk about in a moment. As with Must watch edits as I didn’t really talk about James Whites’ last video I will resort back to familiar territory and highlight what I liked about this edit.
1:07: The flow and the intricate switches in this line, caboose body varial without kicking and ending in the x-ft straddle pedal time machine! Super good!
2:14: Lung spin / one handed time machine body varials without touching the tyre. I don’t believe I have seen this variation done before and always with Austin’s riding, so stylish!
3:05: For me the move of the edit and something I was thinking I would never see, if you learnt the scuffing version of this back in the day you will know how difficult this is. Austin of course in 2018 is doing this junkyard turbine blindside body varial to time machine (switch handed) without a hint of scuffing. One of the moves of the year right here! Take a bow Austin, blown away!

Vancouver Flat Jam Sessions
Vancouver Flat Jam – Sessions from Level Up on Vimeo.
This week has already been awesome for content here on Flatmattersonline, and it continues right here with a beauty from the summer Vancouver flatland jam. A couple of riders travelled from FISE in Edmonton over to Vancouver for the flat jam and enjoyed some wicked sessions the day before the jam. The first day the crew rode the circle spot which is small but overlooks downtown Vancouver. On the second day everyone travelled by ferry to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, and rode a couple cool spots including one on top of a mountain and in a forest. Lot of flatland history from Vancouver, Canada. Stoked to see this today!
Riders: Jean-William Prevost, Hidenoi Ishizaki, Percy Marshall, Tall Pall, Greg Pratt, Francois Debroux, Cory Fester, and Joey Kyllo.

Good vibes from Nantes, France and a fresh new edit from Dwix for today. The jam took place a few weeks back in a great hall called “Les Machines de l’île.”
Riding skills from Charles Paty, Gilles Laurent, Dwix himself, Fred Page, Malo Tostivint, Robson Luiz & Kalix Jouanneau. Heresy came through with the prizes, big up!
Giannis Caternellis – Freestyler #97
It looks like Giannis Caternellis is blessed with endless summers down in Athens, Greece! And today we have his 97th in his freestyler series where it looks like he lowered his seat a little bit for some cliffhanger and dark side based moves, hit play and enjoy this one!
TGM is back!
After a lot of work behind the scenes, countless council meetings, the TGM is back resurfaced and just in need in a lick of paint. The TGM locals enjoyed their first session on the freshly tarmac’ed spot, hyped for the guys down there. Enjoy this one!
Must Watch – James White / Stop the World
The man James White does it again, unless you have been living under a rock or something it’s hard not to notice James White’s riding on social media. He seems to be everywhere, and this new “Stop the World” edit featuring a classic Black Rock and Ron track hits hard like you would expect, yet retains a fun element and stoke factor. All these details plus mixing the riding to a great tune that describes what he is doing, and give you an uplifting feeling that makes you want to go and ride.
Ultimately this is what it is all about, I am still in awe of the bike control involved on the no-handed “still b” at the 1:52 mark and that ender I was waiting and the cut at the end!. Rather than list all the highlights, I think this edit is about the whole package that just left with a great feeling and immediately on the rewind for the whole video, brilliant work throughout.
