Must Watch! Jean William Prevost – Double Trouble

Double Trouble from IGI BMX / FAREAST / DUB on Vimeo.

Happy New Year everyone! The 1st of January 2015 is here, and already a Must Watch edit that dropped late last night! 2014 was an amazing year for Dub, check out this Great new edit from the man himself, the stand out for me is the incredible first combo and especially the opposite forward rope-a-roni step over into his signature Forklift combo around the 00:20 mark, flowing side to side with so much style that we now come to expect from one of the worlds best flatlanders! Can anyone ride the back wheel like Dub?!

The Flatmatters Year End Awards 2014 / The Must Watch edit(s) of April

In April I made the decision to make it harder to get that “Must Watch” tag about a month or so ago, one man noticed and understood (James White), it’s one of those things I can’t win really. Sometimes in the past via feedback from a broad spectrum of riders I have been too easily giving that “Must Watch” tag away. With amazing videos such as Moto’s, Dub’s, and Owen Bohn. I left them at the top of the site for the day, thats my way of saying, “Hey flatland world, this video is awesome, check it out! I’m more thinking unless it is something I think is completely off the charts, and never been done before, edits only will get that tag. It’s great to see/hear riders are striving to get that tag, nice to know people are taking notice.
Hope that explains my way of thinking.

With that being said, here is the video I picked out this month as standing out and pushing new ground, particularly the spinning karl on pedal at 1:10, and the two footed backwards steam on the pedals jump to regular steam at 2:44. As always there maybe other edits that stand out for you, so take a look through the archive to right hand side of this post for all what went on in April!

The Flatmatters Year End Awards 2014 / The Must Watch edits from March

I have already received a ton of votes for the 2nd annual Flatmatters Year End Awards, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to vote so far! Last year I spent hours and hours going through the site checking every video, this year I started logging edits as they dropped to make life easier, well at least try to! It’s fun going back through the year and seeing how things developed. Today I go through the Must Watch edits from March 2014!


Dub was working on this at the Guru Jam in 2013 and now has it down! Amazing balance point on this two footed death truck on the pedals! Dub is always pushing so theres no telling where this Forklift move will head? You definitely don’t want to miss this one! Continue reading

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

Yesterday I began the mammoth task of going through the year month by month selecting the best edits, today we move onto February. How are you finding this month by month breakdown, is this helpful towards voting?

Last years Flatmatters Online Editorial Choice for Rider of the Year and Readers Choice for Most Progressive Rider came through with an amazing edit for his Awards Interview! And by the looks of it right now he is continuing his personal progression at an amazing rate! There is so much to rave about, but the backwards manual whopper out at 1:07 and the hang five pivot xft steam pivot circle k at 1:40 is incredible! Continue reading

The Flatmatters Year End Awards 2014 / The Must watch edits of January 2014

It was fitting that the first Must watch edit of the year went to Flatmatters editorial vote for Rider of the Year 2013!

Flatland is all the better for it! Continue reading

Must Watch! Alex Jumelin – BMX Winter Part 1

bmx winter edit part 1 from alex jumelin on Vimeo.

It really does not look like winter down in New Orleans, make sure you don’t miss this new edit out of Alex Jumelin who drops a couple of new things I haven’t seen before. On the first watch, the backwards flail to peg to peg boomerang at 00:52, and the cross foot nose manual jump to regular nose manual 2:55 stood out the most, these two combos had me hitting the rewind, and theres a lot more. One of the great things about flatland, you might take something different out of the edit than me, if so, what stood out for you?
