June got off to a banger with Quentin Pelorson’s Seeking Part 3 edit on June 2nd. From the opening downside whiplash pedal 5 stepped beautifully into x-ft halfpacker, this edit really caught my attention. Quite possibly my favourite line is at the 1:13 mark, I’ve already rewinded this part twice to work out what happened, I could go on and on here.

Lookback: May – The 2016 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards
Springtime is here, and as we all look forward to the summertime. The contests are more frequent, everyone is getting more riding time, and the content on FM grows.
It’s not often we kick off month with a Must Watch edit, but we did that in May of this year, and boy was it a treat!
Japanese flatland legend, Hiroya Morizaki teamed up with Taichi Kunieda to drop these two brand new amazing back wheel lines. So great to see Hiroya is still pushing hard, hitting the rewind again!
Lookback: April – The 2016 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards
The clocks go forward one hour, that feel good factor that the extra daylight brings, more riding time equals more time filming and documenting what you do. April was a busy month!
Deco’s Chad Degroot kicked off the month and had this to say:
“Since I starting riding my head wants me to learn as much as possible and this includes bars backwards tricks. The beginning of this link I learned this day so to make more smooth flow and no scuffing. The middle has been a gem and great feeling to whip the backend around with no brakes and keep speed. The end is bars backwards and played a huge head game for a bit because I had to push so much momentum to get into the backyard position and pump to keep speed. Real excited to move past the 15 second persona and get onto the longer story of this trick.”

Must Watch! John Yull – Fall
With a lot of what I call the :Video heavy weights” filming for Master of Creativity this year, you can forgive me for thinking the year was kind of done with regard to Must Watch edits and the like. How wrong I was? What stood out the most for me in this new “fall” edit from John Yull was the progression he has made on the power mower saran wrap stall moves that are totally groundbreaking, and of course throw in John’s multiple foot jam decade skills! You have one hell of a Christmas treat, thanks John!
As I like to do with Must watch edits, here are my personal highlights:
00:12: Half lash to foot jam head grab one handed stall to smith out.
00:49: Footjam decade land right foot peg left foot pedal kick to peg wheelie decade out. Very tech!
1:00: Bars backwards saran wrap stall direct to foot jam decade!
1:23: Halflash to regular side smith stall switch to power mower to decade.
1:31: Bar spinning power mower stall one handed to foot jam decade!
1:38: Double foot jam decade with a quick no handed one footed stall thrown in just to throw the difficulty up some, not to mention originality!
2:05: Bars backwards Candy bar saran wrap stall to bars backwards foot jam decade out, one of the wildest clips for sure!
2:17: John is on a death wish here with the banger clip, double foot jam decade with the second decade one handed! WTF!!
Hitting the rewind yet??
Lookback: March – The 2016 Flatmattersonline Year End Awards
March is always a good month, springtime is coming and after a long winter its nice to be able to ride outside again. Not to mention generally there is a whole lot more content coming through from riders worldwide.
On the first day of March, Paul Chamberlain just dropped a real nice promo for the Down Underground 2016 series, filmed at his local riding spot in Summer Hill. Plenty of awesome hang 5 variations in signature Paul Chamberlain smooth style, well worth watching again.
