Comprehensive edit from the riders warm up before the Bike Days 2016 final by Niyaz Zaripov. Featuring the likes of Alex Jumelin, Matthias Dandois, Jean William Prevost (look out for the antrider turbines to inside switch b undertaker at 6:28!), Yohei Uchino, Moto Sasaki, Dominik Nekolny, Lee Musselwhite and Kevin Nikulski. Always good to see the riding outside of the contest run.

I think of the phrase “Action speak louder than the words” when I see the riding of Matthieu Bonnecuelle, he chooses to do the hardest tricks that many thought impossible or simply have not thought of.
Whether we talk about his no handed whiplash at BMX Cologne in 2014, the double xft backwards whiplash he dropped last year (see his Axiom Leviathan edit below), the riding speaks volumes. This young ginger haired man from the south of France continues to paint a fresh picture with his flatland riding.
It’s time to interview this amazing talent that was voted by many of you as the Flatmattersonline Breakthrough Rider of the Year, without further a due, welcome to the Matthieu Bonnecuellle interview.

Must Watch! Mateus Beckmann – SAMPA BMX MB Frame Promo

In terms of the flatland/street crossover it’s of course debatable, but I would say no one right now is as progressive in that style of riding than this young prodigy from Brazil, Mateus Beckmann!

5:30 of fresh flat/skatepark footage that leaves you scratching your head, is there anything this young talent cannot do.

I’m already on the fourth watch before I posted this, some of the highlights so far include:

-180 hop backwards manual junkyard line at 00:26.
-The x-fted BB manual to decade out of the two footed backyard line at 1:36.
-The huge 5 off flat bank half cab whip out around 2:18.
-Inward direction half bar flip decade at 2:37

I could go on, definitely worth watching this young prodigy do his thing and kill it hard on all terrain. Motivational!
