Scott Powell: Chenga Session
Brant Moore was recently passing through Chenga with the Work BMX team, and got to witness the Scott Powell show. One of the comments watching this stood out to me, about flatland being much more impressive in real life. I heard that a lot with the street riders at the Chiba X Games. Enjoy this quick edit when you get a moment!

The Kio Hayakawa Flatmattersonline Year End Award Interview
Intro/Interview: Effraim.
Photography: Kio Hayakawa & Hikaru Funya.
Kio Hayakawa!! This young talent from Japan is making big waves in the global flatland scene. I met Kio for the first time at the X Games in Chiba, Japan and it was obvious the man is on a mission. Riding more than anyone else at the contest, and so consistent on all his new tricks. It’s kind of daunting to see, and I would imagine even more daunting for his competitors.
There is something wonderfully pure about his riding, and his work ethic. It’s kind of cheesy to say the future is bright for Kio, because he’s already here as is proven by his X-Games gold medal. He kicked the door down, and shouted loud and clear his intentions. His riding does the talking, hammers getting dropped with an amazing consistent ratio.. Let’s get into this interview with two years in a row Flatmattersonline Rider of the Year, and of course X Games Gold Medalist, welcome to the Kio Hayakawa Interview…..
