Episode 64: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Gabriel Alves Gomes

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

YO!!!

I love surprises at Flatmattersonline HQ, when it comes to exclusives. A new face to me, Gabriel Alves Gomes comes through with a banger for episode 64!
From the smooth execution on the hand scuff backyard to the no-handed gliding lard yard/gerator/dick trick (whatever you care to call it), and sealing the deal with a steep brakeless smith decade. The exit is so important in flatland, and can really finish off a nice line, and turn into a great line.
The brakeless smith when executed properly is a real riders trick, separating the men from the boys, and Gabriel out of Brazil certainly stomped his authority on this clip. Super stoked!

Thanks Gabriel for contributing, look forward to seeing more from the Brazilian shredder.
Episode 65 will drop on Wednesday, hold tight!

YO!!!

It’s Sunday 6pm GMT, and time for episode 63 of the Flatmattersonline exclusives. This week we have a feature with Joe Cicman, this Joe’s third FM exclusive. Right now he has the record for the most exclusives since I started these back up in January 2020.
Forgive the pun, but “Fact or Freestyle” is this the world’s longest no-handed steam?
Fanks Joe for contributing, whose got the next clip?

Before Kevin Nikulski made the move from Berlin to the warmer climate of Lisbon, Portugal he teamed up with the Freedom BMX crew and filmer Raph Jeroma-Williams to treat us all to a super stylish “Timeless” edit. If you like me, and you are a little bored during lockdown, and fancy something to watch today… This edit is worth your time and attention, Kevin kills it!

Wethepeople and Eclat have recently been making a real shift back into the flatland market, it is great to see them working hard on products that cross over between their main market BMX market (street/park riding), but yet can be used for flatland.
Check out the release of the “Hybrid Hub” switching between cassette and freecoaster which just became a whole lot simpler. The guys over at Lux BMX take the hub apart and explain all well really clearly.

The Flatmattersonline exclusives are back and flowing, every Sunday at 6pm GMT is what I am aiming. The exclusives started back with a boom last week when the Women’s UCI World Champion, Irina Sadovnik came through with an amazing x-handed hang 5 to x-handed whiplash out for episode 61!

Can we get to 100 episodes I asked?

TJ Perry hit me up shortly after 61 dropped with an awesome fire hydrant step crackpacker to two footed front yard to crack 360 flapjack clip for episode 62! Great to see TJ back after a 5 year hiatus, he’s gone from riding the roughest parking lot to becoming a real estate agent and owning his own property with his own personal garage spot now making tyres last for months!

It’s great to see TJ back into riding, TJ just celebrated his 35th birthday on Friday, go show TJ some love for this awesome front wheel line. Thanks for contributing TJ, whose got episode 63?
Get in contact and send in your clip. let’s keep this going!
