Tyler has such a fast style, great to watch, and delivers a banger for us all…

Episode 51: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Will Redd

YO!!

We are back on the road towards 100 episodes of the Flatmattersonline exclusives, today London Bikes CEO, Will Redd comes through with Episode 51!
Over the last five or so years, I have been lucky enough to get to see Will ride in person at the Battle in the Rockies contest in Colorado. Will is one of the most skilled riders in the game, such a strength in depth to what he’s doing on a 20 inch bike.
And he comes through right here with a amazing twist on the forward side glide, an old school flatland trick comes with a new school twist and that’s what freestyle is all about!

Thanks Will for contributing, whose got episode 52?

Episode 50: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Austin Luberba

YO!!!

We made it, 50 episodes of the Flatmattersonline exclusives! Thank you to everyone who has contributed towards the series that has helped inspire us all, particularly during the lockdown period.
When I started the FM exclusives again with episode 1 dropping on January 23rd, I was out in San Francisco and had the idea to start the series with Pete Brandt. I never thought we would be still doing these exclusives at 50 episodes, but now the exclusives in my opinion have become a staple of the site.

The 50th episode took a few twists and turns with people offering, but work commitments getting in the way. This however, worked out really well, Pete Brandt was the first exclusive and this year celebrated his 50th birthday, and still shows no signs of slowing down at all.

One of the new generation of pros to come out of the US, Austin Luberda from St Louis, Missouri came through with the elusive clip. I found it quite fitting that we start a new chapter with the new generation. Austin comes through with an absolutely hammer line, the gliding junkyard blindside pivot is absolutely amazing and he keeps the pace going throughout. Austin is a real name to look out for, I hope he can make a mark into the international contest scene at some point. Thank you Austin for stepping up. Whose got episode 51? Hopefully dropping Sunday….

Let me finish by saying…These clips have reached all generations of flatlanders, and that is the real beauty of doing these. Seeing all the different styles come through and inspire us all, thank you everyone who has stepped up once again….

Episode 49: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Josh Briars

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…..

Episode 47: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Mark McGrade

YO!!!!

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!
Whose episode 48? No idea currently and that’s exciting!

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.

Episode 45: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Chris Böhm

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.

Whose got episode 46? Dropping Wednesday…
