Scott Powell – Decade Anthology Bonus: BB NB Triple Wiper

Decade Anthology: BB NB Triple Wiper from scott powell on Vimeo.

Like me did you think the amazing Scott Powell Decade Anthology series was over? It turns out we have a few days left. The man can’t be stopped! Scott explain all:

“Bars Backwards Brakeless Triple Windshield Wiper.
This is one of two variations that although is at the highest of difficulty levels, I could not seem to find a place that fit “right” into the Anthology, so I am releasing these now as a “B-side” due to the request from several riders.
*NOTE* In the video I am running a 35mm stem and a 26mm offset fork. With the bars backwards (reverse) it completely changes the center of balance for the trick; virtually forcing you to re-learn the trick over.”

Must Watch – Scott Powell / Decade Anthology: Decade to ORB

Decade Anthology: Decade to ORB from scott powell on Vimeo.

The ORB (Upside down decade) has been around for years, until today I haven’t seen a different way into it other than straight ice cream. This decade direct into ORB opens up a lot of possibilities for the future and I am sure Scott is already doing those (or on his way too) and recording them. How long can this Anthology continue for? Day 35 and still going strong!

Minato Sato Ares Bykes Pivotal

Big news to start the week here on Flatmattersonline!

Flatland specific seats are a rare thing due to cost of the mould to make a seat, so this morning I was stoked to see Ares Bykes are releasing a Minato Sato signature pivotal. The seat looks like the classic KHE Watanabe especially the underneath section which is all so important for grabbing and comfort. Flatland Fuel are taking pre orders right now.
