With the covid pandemic stopping a lot of events over the past recently, it’s been a while since the flatland community have had the chance to get together. Nothing but good vibes, from the 2021 York Jam that popped off this past weekend. Soak up the vibes in this great edit from Steady Focus media featuring the likes of Dane Beardsley, James McGraw, Dave Nourie, Isaiah Jordan, Yellow, Matty Cranmer, Bryan Huffman and many more, with cameos from the Hoods to boot. Such a good edit!

Terry Adams: ELEMENTS Part 1 / Earth
ELEMENTS Part 1 – Earth Featuring Terry Adams from Modify Content on Vimeo.
Elements, as a series, has the visual directive to break down action to it’s most simple substance. Over four installments professional Terry Adams puts his mastery on display immersed in one of the four classic elements; earth, water, fire, and air. Each element brings with it, it’s own challenges and unique beauty. This is well worth a watch, if you haven’t already!
Moto Sasaki wins Japanese Flatland Championship!
Congratulations to Moto Sasaki taking the win at the Japanese Flatland Championships for the third time in a row, followed by Kio Hayakawa and Hiroya Morizaki. Hiroshi over at 430 came through with a video already for you all to watch! Pro Class starts at 4:55:34…
Must Watch: Matthias Dandois / Off The Grid
I am so late to the party on this one, the title is somewhat ironic to me although I realise it’s a reference to Vans. Matthias Dandois is in the public eye every day, social media posts, public appearances, travelling, the list goes on and on. I often say to Matthias, I have no idea how you cope with all the demands on your life and stay at the top.
This edit is absolutely beautiful, filming, editing, tune, and the multiple backwards spinning steam line at 2:58 is amazing. Give this edit some attention today, and you’ll be stoked for your session.
Few better sights in flatland than MD doing his thing, and representing our culture so well!

Cory Fester: The Hang 5 Podcast
It’s not very often lately, that I drop what I’m doing to dedicate two hours to listening to a podcast.
Cory Fester has always been one of my favourite riders, but also a great human! This is a must listen, Francois Debroux sits down with Cory to talk all things flatland, from calling out Matthias Dandois for a battle at Flatground, travelling, judging contests, working on videoparts, and so much more…
