Japanese Flatland Documentary FT Yu Katagiri / Moto Sasaki / Yu Shoji
Great documentary that follows Japanese flatland heavy hitters, Yu Katagiri, Moto Sasaki and Yu Shoji as they prepare and compete in the Japanese National Championships. This is really worth you sitting down and watching this one, great insight from both Yu Katagiri and Yu Shoji, and Moto. Grab a cuppa!
Matti Hemmings: Velodrome Session
The current UK Flatland Champion Matti Hemmings, comes through with almost 12 minutes of footage in what looks like one session. Matti is dialled and has a big bag of tricks, lots to take in here. Love the Karl on the fork locked in at the 5:29 mark, its a good day for edits on Flatmattersonline!
Old School Sundays: AFA Masters Austin Texas 1987
The opening Kevin Jones footage is legendary in this compilation from the 1987 AFA Masters, also featuring the likes of Chris Lashua, Dennis McCoy, Maurice Meyer, Dave Nourie, pure old school vibes….
Voodoo Jam 2019: Recap
Great recap edit from the 2019 Voodoo Jam in New Orleans, by the talented Mickey Gaidos!
Brandon Woldridge: Messiah to Pedal 5
As the title says, Brandon Woldridge locks in on Messiah to Pedal 5, simple as that right?
Leo Claro: 2023 Compilation
12 minutes of Leo Claro footage from the past year, so good to see one of Brazil’s finest still going hard as ever. He has the stem lash on lock, well worth watching when you got the time…
