Bakteria 4: 2006

Unintentional Brazilian theme running on FM right now, funny how stuff like that happens. Forty minutes of great riding from the likes of Claybom, Pekeno, Patrick Coelho, Arroz, LéoClaro, Wagner Gordo, Nêne, and Felipe Gonçalves. Grab a cuppa when your bored and soak in some of the Brazilian flatland scene from 2006!

Throwback Thursdays: Proseed Issue One – Side A

Tomorrow I have an exclusive interview with one of original heads that helped create the King of Ground contest series in Japan, Yasuyuki Takeo. One of the most requested videos on the site, is anything KOG related, and in my mind one of the best contest videos ever done is by the Juicyvision crew “Proseed”, Issue one – side a right here. So much good riding from the King of Ground contests and local events too. You really do want to sit down and give this one your attention.

Throwback Thursdays with Albert Retey

My long standing memory from my first contest turning pro, was Albert Retey’s winning ride at the World Championships in Limoges, France 1993. If you were there you will know exactly what I’m talking about, if not one of the classic runs of all time. Certainly one of my favourites, the music and the vibe from the crowd still gives me goose bumps to this day! Albert Retey, what a rider!

Throwback Thursdays: Flatland Manifesto #1 / 2001

Man, I miss Flatland Manifesto! Shane Neville put so much work into these flatland video magazines, if you missed these it really is worth your time to sit down, and take all this in.Thank you Shane! Issue 1 featured the La Revolution from Toronto, How to Pinky with Cory Stratychuk, ESPN B3 in Anaheim, California (this section rules!), Art Thomason Interview and more. So much good riding, 19 years ago. Wow!

Throwback Thursdays: The Pete Brandt Flatmattersonline Interview

If you have already been scrolling through today’s updates, you will have seen the 50th birthday teaser that Jim McKay is putting together for James McGraw’s and Pete Brandt’s 50th birthday tomorrow! This seems as good a time as I have ever had to repost the Pete Brandt Flatmattersonline Interview, it’s time to take a trip down memory lane. Real pleasure putting this one together!

Throwback Thursdays: Suzuki BMX Masters 2006

Great edit from the Suzuki BMX Masters 2006 by Global Flat, that Alejandro Marques recently re-uploaded. So much good riding in this from the likes of Justin Miller, Adam Kun, Kotaro Tanaka, Martti Kuoppa, Matthias Dandois, Viki Gomez, Nathan Penonzek, and many more. Well worth watching this one….

Throwback Thursdays with Yu Katagiri

With so many edits dropping each year, it is so easy to overlook edits in the flatland scene and just in general actually. My following post is about a photoshoot with Yu and Ryo Katagiri, Naoto Tamaru at the Flatpark, and that reminded me with the exception of the Sensual video there really has been much of Yu Katagiri on the site.
For this weeks TBT, let’s go back to his amazing edit from 2018, hit play and get stoked and this kids talent….

Throwback Thursdays with Martti Kuoppa

MK in action from Martti Kuoppa on Vimeo.

The big news this week, Martti Kuoppa relaunched the iconic brand, Junglerider after a ten year hiatus. It’s a no brainer to dedicate this week’s Throwback to the man I called “The boss”. Watch this part back, this would be a Must Watch without a doubt if this dropped today, timeless flatland and many of these switches remain untouched….
