Episode 49: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Josh Briars

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

YO!!

We are getting so close to the elusive 50th episode!!! UK rider, Josh Briars came through with a lovely flowing whiplash to hitchhiker line ending with what I call the Degroot undertaker. Chad if you are reading/watching this, what do you call that trick?
Josh filmed this line at the Millennium Square spot in Bristol, UK yesterday, so this is literally hot off the presses. Josh celebrated his birthday yesterday to boot, happy birthday Josh!!
Great to see Josh back on his bike after a few injuries.

Thanks Josh for contributing!
Whose got that elusive 50th episode, happy to say that will be dropping Wednesday and its a banger!!

Episode 48: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Stephen Hearn

YO!!!

We are back on track with the Flatmattersonline exclusives and closing in on 50 episodes… No one better to get this back on track than Stephen Hearn. One of my favourite riders, if you aaren’t familiar with the name.
Check this video part from Create filmed in 2006 (link below), in my opinion one of the best video parts ever. Stephen does not mess around when it comes to trick choice and right here for episode 48 fires out a smooth half hiker around the world back to half hiker and pivots into an opposite xft halfpacker, like I said before not an easy trick/line selection and Stephen makes it look easy.

Enough of my rambling, go watch and show some love. Thanks Stephen for taking the time to contribute.

Who’s got episode 49, dropping Sunday…..

Unseen Sam Foakes line from the TGM riding spot in West Norwood, London back in 2008. Sam does through with his infamous stalled cliff into a ridiculous line. Thanks to Mizo for sending this one. Good times at the TGM.

After a missing a beat for the first time, we are back!!
Mark McGrade from Dracut, Massachusetts stepped up for episode 47, as we get closer to 50 episodes of the Flatmattersonline exclusives.
Mark comes through with a an awesome invisible hand elbow glide line, with an inside half hiker turbine to ankle death out at his home riding spot with some nostalgic banners in the background to boot.
Thanks mark for stepping it up!

Episode 46: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Kevin Arredondo Vasquez

YO!!

It’s time to get back on track with the Flatmattersonline exclusives after a short break last week. One of the main exciting things about producing these exclusives is not knowing who’s next to step up, and with the help of Robert Victoria… We have a fresh name to me, Kevin Arredondo Vasquez from Costa Rica!
Kevin comes through a smooth back line ending in the infamous Adam Kun no-handed lawnmower spin, I’m not sure what Adam calls it. Maybe the Kun spin?
Thank you Kevin for contributing, who’s got the next clip?

* Clips are currently run out, so if you want to feature here on Flatmattersonline send in your clip. Instructions how to do so, are at the end of each exclusive video.

YO!!!

Welcome back, after some technical difficulties we are back! Episode 45 of the Flatmattersonline exclusives with Chris Böhm, Chris is one of the most energetic riders in the game, the man is all over social media like a rash and makes life work as a professional flatlander. Chris comes through with a heavy freestyle line, especially like the hang 5 switch foot ankle death switch in this one. I don’t recall seeing this too much, I am sure that will change now, this switch is amazing!
Thank you to Chris for contributing, we are edging closer to the 50 mark.

Regardless of no contests or not in 2020, it has already been a great year for Terry Adams. TA has really knuckled down and got to work under the MK Format regime, and looks in better shape physically and riding wise than ever before.
During the global lockdown, Terry won the Game of Bike against Alex Jumelin, Matthias Dandois, Martti Kuoppa, Frank Lucas and Travis Collier, that’s a stacked group of heavy hitters!
This edit features a bunch of clips from that Game of Bike plus his regular instagram posts, put it altogether, and you have a banging edit!

Episode 44: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Satoshi Ojima

YO!!!

What’s up everyone? It’s time for episode 44 of the Flatmattersonline exclusive. It is a really good feeling when I get a FM exclusive that I wasn’t expecting, for me doing this it really feels like it’s working when this happens.
Satoshi Ojima stepped up for 44, Satoshi is from Osaka Japan and has been riding for 17 years. He drops a heavy line with two halfpacker pivot to opposite xft hikers in one line, what I liked about this the most was the feeling I got from watching it.
I thought about the struggle, and the push to document and push his riding, this is what these clips are all about.
Thank you Satoshi for contributing, I shall be keeping an eye out on him for sure.

YO!!

What’s up everyone? It’s time for episode 43 of the Flatmattersonline exclusive, this episode features New England flatland legend, Jim Cavanaugh!
43 is the BMX magic number, Jim comes through with an awesome back wheel line for this feature. I feel like I have already used this term a lot during the intro’s for these exclusives, but it seems like the “flatland lifers” out there are contributing more and more, and thats awesome.
I grew up reading and watching Jim ride on the Radazine, Wire ‘zine and videos, stoked to meet Jim a few years in a row at the One Love jam, and as you will see right here. Jim is still going hard to this day, respect!

Thanks Jim for contributing.

Episode 42: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Lisias Tabarelli

YO!!!

Welcome back, it’s time for episode 42 of the Flatmattersonline exclusive. Ep. 42 features Brazilian flatland lifer, Lisias Tabarelli.
Love the ankle death tomahawk in this episode, this gave me a real 90’s throwback and reminded of some the moves Chase Gouin helped pioneer. Lisias contributes a lot to the flatland culture, especially in Brazil with his blogpsot site.
Thanks Lisias for contributing, who’s got episode 43?
