Today we have a nice exclusive courtesy of Stewart Munro and Simon O’Brien, Stephen Hearn’s part from Landscapes 3. Stephen is a certified savage, rolling skills for days and the “Welcome to Jamrock” track fits his style perfectly.

Nice edit from the Toronto contest this year before the Covid-19 pandemic hit us all featuring Jean William Prevost, Terry Adams, Joey Kylio, Issi Orbe, Juan Niebles ansJean-Francois Boulianne.
The female flatland scene is growing, whether it be the contest scene or outside. New faces are appearing every year, Paula over at Rad Girls just dropped in this great annual edit from riders across the world. Good vibes and long may it continue, keep busting out ladies!
It’s been a good day for the Frenchman, Matthias Dandois who not only announced the release of his signature shoe. Matthias just took the top spot at the UCI World Championships here in Chengdu, China. Top eight make tomorrow’s final.
Huge news today from Chengdu, China. Vans have just announced the signature Matthias Dandois Vans shoe. Is this the first signature flatland shoe?
I just got a first look here in the UCI flatland area, there’s a nice flatland specific detail to this shoe. A small protective area in the middle of the shoe to protect your foot against the fork. The black and pink colourway is dope, stoked for Matthias and flatland on this one. Well deserved!
The womens class is gaining momentum at each stop of the Fise World tour, Melissa Zucchiatti was on hand to document some of the riding and once again dropped in some awesome photographs to share with the Flatland World. Enjoy!
