We are celebrating 6 years of Flatmatters tomorrow, it gives me great pleasure to publish this Must Watch Simon O’Brien Colony 2014 Edit! Everyone knows Simon is one of the greatest flatlanders to ever touch a bike, there was a time where he seemed have a lil’ deadtime and now it is so great to say Simon is back! Just watch this edit, there are so many points that are worth rewinding in this edit, the first that stood out to me was the 360 flip ride in a’la Andrew Faris to backwards halfpacker at 1:22, the nose manual full boomerang direct to backwards backpacker at 2:09, and the forward karl halfpacker stop dead kickflip to backwards halfpacker ender at 3:29 may all have us talking for years + Simon kills it on the deck of the ramps! Does it get any better than this? Simon is already filming for an up and coming flatland dvd with Stewart Munro, I’m excited to see what is next? This is incredible, hit the rewind and thank you Simon for taking the time to do this and share with us!

Wow! Rewind edit
Truly amazing! Happy 6th anniversary Effraim what a way to begin!
this video speaks for itself. absolutely ridiculous and the last trick WTF
What is going on with that last trick??
Killer section, ramp stuff was cool too.
Damn! Someone’s been putting in work! Not sure I can understand what happened in the last clip without being in the matrix and being able to see code like Neo, but it was pretty fricken sick!
That ender was like some sort of magic trick! So crazy.
Amazing overall. Last trick stole the show.dreamlike!!
Last trick = slantland?
Incredible edit! The world needs more riders like Simon!
In case anyone needs a reminder of why Simon’s name always comes up in discussing the top riders of all time…
Pure magic, good to see he’s got the fire lit.
Wow – amazing!

And I think he wins squeaky headset of the year on top of it all.
