Lighten your ride, Bizhouse just shared this FM exclusive with us!!
Whilst the Flatmattersonline exclusives have dried up currently, I was stoked to hear from Shawn White over at Bizhouse HQ this morning.
The great news is Bizhouse is still out there, and Shawn continues to make Niche flatland parts no matter how small in order to make your bike ride better.
Cause in point right here: I never really paid attention to excess weight as such:

It’s been a few years since I was at the Ruhr Games, and this year’s event is just a few weeks away. The first big live flatland event on the calendar since Covid 19 began to my knowledge, so there are of course a lot of questions during these uncertain times. Today I catch up Andy Zeiss and Frank Lukas who are working on the event together, it’s time to meet the faces behind the 2021 Ruhr Games flatland organisation!!!
Old School Sundays: Jason Davies R.I.P
Last night the sad news that UK rider, Jason Davies had passed away broke online. Jason could do it all at a high level, flatland, vert, mini, dirt, skatepark riding. During the 80’s Jason excelled in flatland, and was one of the first UK riders to make the trip stateside competing in the AFA masters and came back here in the UK swinging with a bunch of new tricks and style after each visit. During the 90’s and early 2000’s, Jason later in his career made it as vert rider, and competed in the X games for many years, living stateside.
This weeks OSS is dedicated to Jason, who helped inspire me in my younger years. Such sad news, thinking of all his family, and friends and the BMX community during this difficult time.
R.I.P. Jason Davies.
