This weekend coming up, the Sportzone contest is supported by the Hungarian Cycle Federation and the November 23rd contest will also be the Official Hungarian BMX FLATLAND Championship with Junior, Girls, Amateur and Pro Classes. It will run together with the Veres BMX FLATLAND Contest and we will take out highest places to find the Hungarian Champions. 200m2 of a new perfect flatland floor the only of it’s kind in Europe!

Great production on this new “Higher Ground” edit from the stylish Dan Hennig, Dan possesses one of the best bike flips in the game right now, 1:19!
If there was an award for the most productive guy on the scene, it might well go to Nick Watts! Every week a new edit, plus a full part on Landscapes 3. The man cant be stopped, hit play for the latest. Love the smith decade at 00:22. Great start to the week on Flatmattersonline!

The finals day at the UCI World Championships was a great day for flatland. The day started with Women’s flat and four riders knuckled down and give it their all, Irina Sadovnik was battling a knee injury and with the help of Trish and her medical skills she was able to ride. Sometimes when you are faced with a physical obstacle such as an injury your focus is heightened. The injuries were stacking up in China and kind of became one of the main topics of everyones discussions during the two week trip.
Lionel Cardoso on the MIC duties, and David on the decks. props to these guys who killed it throughout the series and the two weeks in China!
Outside of the Fise contest in Chengdu, Claude Hickman took break from hosting the lifestream to mix things up with this best friend challenge creating something a little different for you the viewer at home. Alex Jumelin vs Terry Adams, who knows each other better? Watch it right here!
I just got round to watching the Fise Chengdu Mens Final, what a great end to the year for the Fise World Series. We had a different winner at each stop this year which really shows the level right now. This time it was Moto Sasaki’s day, taking his first win in 12 years of trying for him and Matthias Dandois finsuihed second with Dominik Nekolny in hid. It was enough for Matthias to take the year end title. When you have the time, it is certainly worth watching this final unfold. Amazing times in Chengdu, China.
The man behind the UK Flatland Championships, Matti Hemmings is getting ready for the Sportzone contest coming up in Hungary soon, Matti has a big tricktionary front and back wheel. Give this one a watch!
I am still playing catch up after China, and what a way to start our Friday posts. You can count on Nick Watts who must have had more edits than any other rider this year. Back in the day I heard this style of riding referred to as “uprocking”, and it seems to ring true with Nick’s riding. Switching back and forth, almost at random and he’s reacting to the moment literally. Uprocking freestyle at it’s best, have you seen his amazing section from Landscapes 3 yet?
Marton and the Haro Masters from og pictures on Vimeo.
Marton Szilagyi goes back to his Haro Master roots and performs tricks from the Old, Mid and New School. Martin definitely as I call it “went to school”, as always with OG Marton’s videos great quality. and I would expect no less from one of the best riders to ever do it out of the European flatland scene. Great concept video. Respect!
As I was looking for a throwback video today, “R” just dropped a video comment in the comments section on the site (thanks “R”) and I haven’t watch this edit in years so why not roll with it I thought too myself. Shinichi Kiba & Moto Sasaki warm up for the BMX masters contest back in 2008 edited by Alberto Moya, well worth a watch!
