One of the great things about flatland, is the trick names and vocabulary we use. Bruno calls the steam jump to teakettle at 00:08 a tomahawk, here he gets three of those switches in one combo.

Joey Bransford – Help a fellow flatlander
Joey Branford – quick flatland session from Zack Gerber on Vimeo.
Sunny Sigh hit me up today with some tragic news, the York PA flatland scene are reaching out for the flatland communities help. Here is what Sunny had to say:
“I don’t know if you know Joey Branford, but he is a long time PA flatland rider (a York Jam staple, does school events with Stephan Cerra, etc). He is facing an utter tragedy right now–both his mother and brother were murdered just a week ago. Some friends are trying to raise money for the funeral costs since that is something that should not even be on his mind at this time.
The flatland community is very small, but it would be amazing if everyone supported a fellow rider like Joey. Currently they are about 50% away from the goal and with enough small donations from a lot of people I sincerely feel the goal can be exceeded.”

Must Watch! Matthieu Bonnécuelle – Binary Reflections
BINARY REFLECTIONS from HERESY BMX on Vimeo.
Matthieu Bonnecuelle’s “Welcome to Heresy” edit is finally here, self filmed and edited. From the opening backwards fork wheelie to forward steam at 00:19 you know you going to watch something a little bit special, and it continues with so many incredible original moves, two footed front yard on the forks half whip out at 00:51, the Backwards 5 on frame at 1:16 is hard to see with the sunlight but incredible balance nevertheless, from 1:48 the Binary codes kick in and everything gets a lil’ bit crazy. The no handed double whiplash at 2:17 is like the holy grail of impossible flatland tricks, now done, recorded. At 20 years old, this kids future is so bright! This is winning the internet today!
