The rumour mill has been going a while on this move and now it’s all official! Keelan Phillips is now riding for Haro Bikes here in the UK! Here’s what Keelan had to say about the move:
“Pretty happy to say that for 2016 i’ll be riding for @harobikesuk! Weird how things come around my first ever bike was a Haro, looking forward to this!”
Looking back, May was a crazy month in the year, check through my highlights from the month….
Sean Fontenot’s riding always has me on the edge of my seat, check this latest short edit where he states “I’ve always been good at G-turns, but bad with nose manuals. I’ve decided to correct that.” Shot with Konova K7 Slider (aside from last shot) Sean’s riding is so explosive, amazing stuff at the Globe spot in Long Beach, California!
Flatland legend, Trevor Meyer kills this Chiacgo parking lot between shows on the front and back wheel. This is well worth a watch!
At the age of 43, Todd Carter has made the move up to the Pro ranks and is arguably riding better than ever. Check out this great edit he just put together to celebrate, it’s going down for real!
Kenshiro Ojima just dropped this nice edit with Spaceark shop owner and rider, Mitsuhiro “Tsumiki” Izumi shredding in Kobe, Japan! Mitsuhiro has some unique boomerang combos on lock, give this one a watch!
15 Days until Hoffman Bikes 25th Anniversary, Hoffman Bikes just dropped this awesome extended part with Day Smith, featuring parts from Madd Matt, Until Monkeys Fly and Testimony video parts.
“In the late ‘80s, Kevin Jones revolutionized Flatland riding. In the early ‘90s, Jones and a select few took what he started and pushed Flatland to years ahead. One of those riders was Day Smith.
In late 1993, Day Smith and a few other southern California flatlanders packed up and headed to the 3rd round of the B.S Contest in Oklahoma City. Day Smith competed in Oklahoma City and scored a 2nd place win. Day’s riding style was a style that Mat Hoffman knew needed to be a part of Hoffman Bikes. Shortly after he received his 2nd place trophy, Mat asked Day to join the Hoffman Bikes team.
For more than a decade, Day road for Hoffman Bikes. He continued to pushed the flatland limits and, to this day, pushes Flatland riding to new levels. Day’s sections in Madd Matt, Until Monkey’s Fly and Testimony are still 3 of the best flatland video parts of all time.
Day Smith also contributed to improving and designing Flatland-specific parts. In late 1994, he worked with Kris Gack to design a new Flatland-specific peg. This design became the Day Smith “Loc” Peg; one of the most sought after and best-selling Hoffman Bikes pegs.”
The description for this one is bang on the money, so I’m going to run with it…
“Pete Olsen’s pivot game is on point! Dude’s taken his style to the next level and if you enjoy flatland, you should indulge immediately!”
Olsen is awesome!
THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL EVER CREATED FOR FLATLAND!!!
Quentin Pelorson in France teamed up with a new technology startup with 4D technology and created Flatland Tricky App. With this app, riders can watch tricks performed from any angle. If you want flatland to grow tell everyone interested in learning tricks to download this app. It is the next best thing to having a personal instructor with you at the riding spot. Check the review Bobby Carter just did on the app.

George Manos explains this dark new edit:
“A dusty underground corridor. Windowless, Lightless, Void. A path for things that crave for existence. Inspiration, Imagination, their Father and Mother in the House of Material World. And the Feeling, Wonderful. -G.M.
The clocks go forward in April, and the riding level and contest season takes on more momentum as we all get psyched for the summer. What happened in April? Here are some of the highlights as I dig back in the crates at some of the key moments…
Dane Beardsley’s amazing section from Samethingdaily3 is now online mixing up flatland, trails, ditches, concrete parks, street, Dane can do it all! Flatland wise, look out for the No handed backwards death truck line at 2:20, xft shove it mccircle line at 3:47 and a whole lot more! A Good Friday treat for you from Dane Beardsley, pure BMX! A great way to start the month of April!
After Keisuke’s amazing backwards manual jump to two footed backyard earlier in the week lets take it back today to 2009 and his amazing Mingle part. Beautiful back wheel riding right here!
Workouts, sessions at an amazing looking riding spot, plus a look through Barre’s year in which he won the Belgium Championships, hit play for this one!
