Joel Schallhorn’s latest edit comes with possibly the longest and most detailed description that describes his journey, including his entry for Master of Creativity. Let’s run with it!
Great edit from the Adelaide Down Underground Round 1 contest by Matt Wotton featuring the likes of Simon O’Brien, Paul Chamberlain, Lee Kirkman, Shane Badman, Andras Pentak and many more. Good vibes down under!
Congratulations to Matthias Dandois who won the annual Fise World contest in Montpelier, France this weekend. The event didn’t quite go to plan as todays finals were rained out, so the result from qualification stood from Friday! Ideal birthday present for Matthias, followed on the podium by Alex Jumelin and Joris Bretganolles!
Congratulations to Pedro Melo taking the top spot in Round 1 of the Master of Creativity online competition and everyone who made the top 25 cut! You can also check out the top 25 results below and an edit Martti Kuoppa just put together of the top 25, link below for the rest of the results!

When I started Master Of Creativity I had no idea how popular it would get so fast. I received many entries and a lot of messages, where riders expressed their excitement about the format.
Which made me feel, that I truly want to give back something to the riders out there and the first idea was, that I am going to build a brand that will be the first sponsor of Master Of Creativity.
Soon after the idea of 7Grounds was born and here I am, launching my own brand, which will donate a portion of each sale for the Master Of Creativity competition (my dream is to run a video contest that has a prize money).
I know that the world is packed with t-shirt brands but I also feel, that world is not full of t-shirt brands that really care about the lifestyle of Flatland BMX. Here it is.
I am keeping the selection to very limited, because that´s the way I do things. Each item purchased from my shop will be numbered by me and when the item is sold out, that´s it, it´s not available anymore.

I have a team too, it will be me, Thomas Noyer and Peter Olsen.
Thank you for riding Flatland! Let´s keep the tradition alive!

Every 15 years, the city of Paris empties the Canal Saint Martin to clean it. When I heard that, Matthias Dandois instantly thought it would be cool to do some photos inside. With the help of Red Bull and Hadrien Picard, Matthias was able to make a video and get some photos done at what I can imagine was an incredibly hard spot to ride at! Not to mention it is also MD’s 27th birthday today, Bon anniversaire!
QuestBMX – Enjoy It. from Quest BMX on Vimeo.
Yesterday we published the trailer, today it is time for the full team edit, entitled “Enjoy It”. The Quest crew gave a nice description for this one!
“A quest can be defined as pursuing something difficult to attain. That joy you feel when you accomplish a long sought after goal makes the years, months, weeks, and days of hard work all worth it. As riders, this is why we ENJOY IT.
Enjoy It. is a project that was meant to not only showcase the 2016 team but also have fun. Filmed throughout the beginning of 2016 in the USA, Canada and France. Each team rider pushed themselves to put something new on video.
We hope the video gets you motivated to ride every time you watch it. Above all, we hope you ENJOY IT.”
