Must Watch! Simon O’Brien – Colony 2014

Posted on by — 45 Comments ↓

We are celebrating 6 years of Flatmatters tomorrow, it gives me great pleasure to publish this Must Watch Simon O’Brien Colony 2014 Edit! Everyone knows Simon is one of the greatest flatlanders to ever touch a bike, there was a time where he seemed have a lil’ deadtime and now it is so great to say Simon is back! Just watch this edit, there are so many points that are worth rewinding in this edit, the first that stood out to me was the 360 flip ride in a’la Andrew Faris to backwards halfpacker at 1:22, the nose manual full boomerang direct to backwards backpacker at 2:09, and the forward karl halfpacker stop dead kickflip to backwards halfpacker ender at 3:29 may all have us talking for years + Simon kills it on the deck of the ramps! Does it get any better than this? Simon is already filming for an up and coming flatland dvd with Stewart Munro, I’m excited to see what is next? This is incredible, hit the rewind and thank you Simon for taking the time to do this and share with us!

Must Watch! Matthias Dandois – The Flat side of things

Posted on by — 32 Comments ↓

“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!

Plenty of discussion about Ucchie’s last trick in this awesome “Breakthrough” edit for G-Shock. It’s not too often that I give a video the Must Watch tag for one particular trick. At 2:17 Ucchie drops an absolute banger, rewind time! For all of you that missed this the first time round, enjoy this!!

The second part of Dez’s Lost Tapes Pt 2 series just dropped filmed at the beginning of 2014, this had me hitting the rewind several times to understand what he did.

Must Watch! Mateus Beckmann / Flatland & Street 2014

Incredible new edit out of Mateus Beckmann, it appears the young prodigy from Brazil can drop bangers in street (x-hand tooth hanger anyone? Smith hard 180 bar) and of course Flatland, the steeziest one handed brakeless smith I think i’ve ever seen and the x-handed rolaids as the final banger are so good! Pure BMX, this is awesome to watch!
