MATSUDO YEAR END JAM 2014 from JIMALOG1985 on Vimeo.

On December 28th 2014, the annual Matsudo Year End Jam took place at Matsudo,Hall 21 of Forest in Chiba, Japan. As we come to expect and love from japan, there is a whole mix of generations in this fun edit from Jimalog! Look out for Kazuya Hirayama who drops some crazy forward and regular death truck lines at 6:24 and 9:23, and that last line from Akihiko Takahashi is super nice! Don’t miss this, plenty of good stuff from some unknown shredders and household names Takahiro Ikeda and Shuichi Osada and many more!

The Flatmatters Year End Awards 2014 / The Must Watch edits of November!

Posted on by — Leave comments ↓

Deadline day today for the 2nd annual Year end awards, today we go through the best videos of November and December! First things first, check out what went down in the month of November!


“It’s great to do fancy edit with crazy cameras and after effect but sometimes it definitely affects the riding quality. Matthias went back to the basic with this new edit: One tripod, One iPhone and 3 months to film the hardest tricks he can do on a BMX bike. As simple as that.”
Check this latest edit from Matthias Dandois for La Cremerie Bmx, great to see him back riding and starting to create new tricks on his bike, from the 4:00 minute especially stood out for me as Matthias pushes new tricks front and back wheel, and the last two bangers from 4:48 – no handed spinning halfpacker whip to crackpacker and backwards spinning framestand tomahawk to pendulum halfpacker! Stop what you are doing and enjoy this one!

Olivér Kállai just sent in this amazing KTGM Jam edit, filmed in Budapest, Hungary during the summer. Great riding from the likes of Pal Gyenes, Oliver Kallai, Gabor Szmetanko, Denes Katona and many more. Highlights on the first watch were Oliver’s nose wheelie multiple whiplashes line at the 2:38 is amazing, and Denes Katona drops an ridiculous xft jumplash xft hitch juggler line at the 5:50 mark, but theres a ton more from a whole heap of riders and styles. This is a good watch!

IGI Flaternity

IGI Flaternity from IGI BMX / FAREAST / DUB on Vimeo.

If you didn’t know already, Battle in the Rockies was amazing! Dub’s video soaks up some of the Colorado vibes nicely, read on and hit play to see what went down, and also notice Dub won the contest, and didn’t include himself in his edit, this speaks volumes about the man!:

“Here is the IGI Flaternity edit, riders from all over the World converged on Colorado Springs to take part in Battle in the Rockies. We were all crashing at James McGraw’s house and Dez called it the Flaternity house, this edit is in the honor of all us riders jammin’ together and having a good time!
We tried to get as many runs as possible from as many riders, one run per rider featuring the likes of Thomas Noyer, Masashi Itani, Takuji Kasahara, Jason Plourde, Alex Jumelin, Benjamin Hudson, Chad Degroot, Dez Maarsen, Dominik Nekolny and Bobby Carter!”
