Congratulations to Ryo Katagiri taking the win at the recent Chimera A Side contest in Japan, followed by his brother Yu, and the Flatmattersonline Rider of The Year Kio Hayakawa in third podium position. I have been looking for footage of the event and so far nothing. If anyone finds anything, please send it over….
Great news today, waking up to the news Nick Watts is on Colony BMX! This is so well deserved, I am personally a big fan of Nick’s style and his Welcome edit comes through with plenty of amazing smith decade transitions, and his entries to forward ropes, wow! Over to the Colony TM to add to the stoke….
“Ever since the early ‘90’s I’ve been in awe of the riding from Nick Watts.
His take on flatland has always been so amazing and unique. Fast forward 30 years later and that riding is even more unique.
I’m so stoked to announce that Nick has officially joined the Colony family. If anyone follows Nick on Instagram @nickwattsbmx you will know what I’m talking about. His style is so refreshing and a great mix of old and new riding.
I’m really looking forward to the years ahead with Nick on a Colony. I know Nick was so stoked receiving his first ever sponsorship package in all his riding years. Seeing him like a kid at BMXmas was golden. Cheers for the good times ahead Nick!… Clint Millar.”
Loving these throwback raw edits from the legendary King of Ground contests, I don’t know about you at home, but I enjoy seeing the realistic footage with makes and falls included. This edit features the likes of Hiroya Morizaki, Viki Gomez, Martti Kuoppa and more.
So good to see live events beginning to happen across the globe, today we have the Starbike Control 2021 over in Colombia for your viewing pleasure.
In this edition of FLAT SYSTEM Dub catches up with his friends Jean François Boulianne and Bergeron who recently came back from a 5 month tour around the USA during the pandemic. They tell us about how it was to travel by road during these times, and they discuss the US scene, the lack of a new generation coming through, and many other things including Van life and the best riding and camping spots they encountered on their tour. Great to see Dub putting these out regularly!
