York Uno puts a lot of work into the grassroots flatland scene in japan, really enjoyed this new Kaitaya BMX Kids School edit. And an interesting technique to staple scuffing tricks such as the caboose and lard yard on a small bike, worth watching.

Giannis Caternellis – No Pegs #6
Giannis Caternellis had some bike problems last week, so rather than not ride he took off his sprocket chain and pegs and most the most of the good weather in Greece. Hit play for some nice pegless skills, stationary brakeless and pegless whiplash plus the last trick pegless is crazy. Go watch this!
New S&M Intrikat for 2018!
There have been plenty of rumours going around that S&M are no longer making the popular Chad Johnston designed Intrikat frame. I was stoked yesterday to see Chad post on his instagram a new frame in production that will squash the rumours. From the look of the photo the new version will have a slightly lower stand over. Available in black and raw clear, no word on sizes, but should be available soon no doubt.
Throwback Thursdays with Dan Rigby
It’s always amazing to go back through the archives of Flatmattersonline and look at previous articles, interviews and edits and whilst I was searching for a good Throwback for this week. I came across a Dan Rigby Interview I did back in February 2009, with a edit that still stands up today, I said it back in 2009, Dan Rigby was so underrated. I’m lucky enough to have been competing in the X Trials/X Games era and saw a lot of what Dan could do in the contest arena and practise, but this edit is next level and it was filmed in 2003!
Go watch this now and look out for the last dump truck full body varial to death truck, that I think still to this day is one of the best back wheel tricks ever done. Let’s discuss this in the comments section.
