With Sevisual behind the lens and Rob Alton on editing duties, here is the AM and Pro highlights video from the Sport Zone Verseny contest the other week over in Hungary with great riding from the likes of Dominik Nekolny, Martin Drazil, Matti Hemmings, Keelan Philips, Fülöp Vidakovich, and many more. Great to see grassroots events like these being so well attended, this looked like a lot of fun including the longest mega spin contest. Anyone dizzy?

Must Watch – Matthieu Bonnécuelle / Riding Waste
RIDING WASTE from NUAGE BMX on Vimeo.
Isn’t the saying “Another man’s waste is another man’s treasure”, well god damn my mind is blown this evening with this footage of Matthieu Bonnécuelle shot in 2015/16. Matthieu in my mind is like a mysterious figure we don’t see a lot of, but when we do it is a treat for us all.
And such is the case here, second clip in at the 00:17 mark – backwards facing messiah no handed double backwards facing whiplash to backwards facing messiah. I screamed loud at my laptop, the bike control on this clip is out of this world and it continues there are so many surprises in this edit.
00:39 and a steam bikeflip to backwards ice cream! Hit the rewind, wow! I love how I have no idea what’s coming next, exciting!
1:00 – I think this might be my favourite clip of the edit, backwards facing whiplash to body varial jump rideout!
Pretty much everything Matthieu does is a highlight to be honest, let’s talk about this one in the comments section. I am going back to watch this one again.
Who will be the 2018 Flatmattersonline Rider of the Year?
The exclusive content here on Flatmattersonline keeps coming. Whilst I was out at the annual Battle in the Rockies contest a few weeks back, I caught up with some riders to ask them who they thought was the Rider of the Year as a prelude to the up and coming FM year and awards that will be open to vote from 17th December.
10 Years of Flatmattersonline – The Final Episode
Today marks the final episode of the 10 Years of Flatmattersonline series! The name “Flatmatters” first appeared on a collar I did with with my Adidas for King of Concrete 2000 and one of those riders on the rise around this time was Paul Chamberlain. I have kept in touch with Paul over the years after he left the UK for a new life in Australia. Paul went off on a tangent from the questions I asked, so I decided I would put him last in the episodes and let him tell his story about me and Flatmattersonline. Hope you enjoy the episode and the series!
The next decade is already in motion….

SWIRL MMXVIII – Thomas Deschenaux from BRE∆K YOUR NOSE on Vimeo.
This week has been uber busy for me here at Flatmattersonline HQ, so much so that I completely missed this amazing new edit from Thomas Deschenaux! There is something in the water in France with regard to the nose wheelie game, the spinning nose manual to backwards pedal 5 at the 1:48 mark is beautiful. Don’t sleep on this edit like I did and check this one out!
