Throwback Thursdays – Cory Fester / Battle in the Rockies Video Contest
For a couple of years I would meet up with Cory Fester at the Intrikat Jam in Long Beach California, and pieces of this amazing line for the 2014 Battle in the Rockies come into my mind. I remember hours of crashing on the last switch handed fork wheelie jump through the frame to backwards halfpacker in the LBC underground, Cory’s dedication is next level! Five years on, this line is still absolutely cutting edge. Respect Cory!
Matti Rose – KOG Asakusa

Space Brothers Podcast with Chad Johnston
Episode 43 of the Space Brothers Podcast is a must listen! Kip Williamson and Chip Riggs catch up with the man behind inTRIKat, Chad Johnston where they dig deep into Chad’s riding roots, getting into making videos, pegless riding, riding for S&M and a whole lot more. This is absolutely amazing!
Matt Wilhelm – The 25 Year Challenge
Matt Wilhelm revisits his old riding spot where he rode as a kid at Brandt Park in Oak Lawn, Illnois 25 years later. Great idea for an edit, and amazingly enough, Matt was in a Hoffman Bikes t-shirt back in the day already and still is in 2019. Well worth a watch!
Battle in the Rockies 2019 Pre Jam
Great edit from the Battle in the Rockies pre jam by Anthony Schneidewind from the Colorado Springs Convention Centre with a halloween theme running throughout. That’s got to be one of the biggest contest areas ever, quality riding from all levels in this one. Enjoy!
Old School Sundays with Gerry Smith
As it’s our 11th anniversary this week here on Flatmattersonline, I figured this weeks OSS would be dedicated to a run that helped inspire me during my younger years. This run from the 88 AFA Masters in Kansas was talked about for years and indeed we are still talking about here on FM in 2019. So ahead of the time, Gerry Smith! Hyped to watch this again this morning..
