Diversion TV Retrospective – Japan Yokohama MM21 – Diversion Video Mag Issue 5.0 (Part 1)

Bobby Carter breaks down this weeks Diversion TV retrospective! Epic!!

“We get the jump off this week with Diversion 5.0 Japan! At the time this video was produced, there was no you-tube and facebook to see what was going on. Dope riders were coming to America and Europe, but there was little to no information about the amazing scene that was developing over there. In many respects the scene was way more developed in Japan than America or Europe. They were just not so connected with the rest of the world. Check out this video and step onto the land of the rising sun! Don’t miss Ucchie on the front wheel!!!”

The Flatmatters Online 2013 Awards!!!


Design: Johann Chan.

Today as I celebrate 5 years of Flatmatters Online! I am excited to present to you the “Flatmatters Online Awards 2013” – it’s been an idea of mine to have awards for a few years now. This year felt like it was the right time to make this happen and step up and award the flatland world for all their hard work. One of the only true ways I felt I could do this was to have more than one category. There are 9 medals up for grabs (see photos). Please spread the word as much as possible, trek back through the year, check out the categories. And submit your vote when you have decided (as long as its before the deadline).

Thank you Flatland!
