If you are on instagram, you will have already seen this amazing line that has been a few years in the making. A dream trick that Heresy’s Peter Olsen makes a reality after a few years digging deep to get this done, it’s a good day for edits here on Flatmattersonline.
Take a bow Peter, this deserves some love from the flatland community!
Congratulations to Yu Katagiri who won the Chimera A Side contest this weekend over in Japan, followed by Kio Hayakawa and Yu Shoji. Like I always say, really hope to see some footage of this event soon, with the Jeep Real Games going right now too in Japan, theres plenty of amazing footage about.
If anyone finds anything before me, you know what to do…
A few weeks ago, the sad news Flatland lifer, Lee Edwards passed away broke online. I asked his good friend, Hector Garcia to write something for the site to remember Lee by. Rest in peace Lee, thinking of all family and friends during this terrible time.
Lee Edwards. August 27, 19 – Sept 30, 2021.
It was Sept 30th, around 10am, and I was getting ready to head out the door for a barber appointment. After showering I see that I missed several calls from Jesse, my friend Lee’s oldest son. I immediately feared the worst, after learning the night before that Lee had been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. I quickly return Jesse’s call and those fears were confirmed. “My dad’s heart just stopped, along with some other complications, and they’re trying to revive him”, Jesse shared. I immediately jumped in my truck and made my way to the hospital.
Congratulations to Spanish shredder, Varo Hernandez who just joined the Fly Bikes team. If you have Instagram, head over to his profile and check out his full ride, dialled!
Congratulations to Alex Jumelin who won the 2021 French National Championships this weekend at the Fise flatland academy in Montpellier.
Alex was followed on the podium by Matthias Dandois and Varo Hernandez, with Julien Baran being the third place ranked French rider.
Good to see events continuing to happen, as we approach the end of 2021. Hopefully some footage soon from the contest. Props to everyone involved.
It’s a good day for edits on Flatmattersonline, first we had TJ Perry’s baby edit and now we have Hoffman Bikes very own Matt Wilhelm drop a banger that you do want to miss featuring lots of classics from Wilhelm’s huge arsenal of tricks!
There is so much to take in, can anyone spin as fast as Matt on this planet? Not to mention all the crazy switches that Matt throws down. This is getting rewinded right now, great to see the 360 dump truck move once again, absolute banger!!!
TJ and his wife found out they were expecting shortly after the Spring online AFA contest wrapped up in the spring. He decided he didn’t want to be doing the same old tricks and set out to progress as much as he could over the summer.
The result of that time dedicated to progressing is awesome to see and refreshing to watch, something about the snap you get switching with front brakes that is lost in brakeless riding in my opinion.
Really enjoyed this one, and look forward to part 2! Congratulations on the baby news too TJ….
Big news just came through on my instagram feed that surprised me, and maybe you too… Varo Hernandez has had an amazing contest season, making his way up to the top of the contest season and he announced he has just left We The People!
Varo hasn’t announced what the future holds, but sounds like another ride is forthcoming soon…
