Old School Sundays with Dave Nourie
The old school vibes are flowing strong in this great run from Dave Nourie at the Moreno Valley contest back in 1995. Listen to that crowd. Thanks Snakebite BMX for the upload!
Terry Adams wins AFA Dream Run 2021
I’m a little late posting the Pro Class results, congratulations to Terry Adams who took the win in the Pro Class with an amazing run packed with progression, originality, and difficulty to boot. Terry was followed on the podium by a man on a comeback, Matt Wilhelm who showed he’s back on a mission. In the third place podium Toon Pakphum threw down a three minute combo that just knocked Bruno Zebu out of the top three, that’s how high level this contest was. Congratulations to everyone throwing down during difficult times, I had a lot of fun judging this event along with Joe Cicman and Austin Luberda.
Thanks Todd Carter and James McGraw for putting this on, and helping keep the flatland community together.
There’s talk of another event later in the year, so stay tuned!
Episode 71: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Rodney Williams
YO!!!!
What’s up everyone?
It’s that time of the week, today we drop episode 71 of the Flatmattersonline eclsuives with none other than Rodney Williams!
I called out Rodney a few episodes ago, and he comes through with an awesome switch foot circle k 360 bar flip to switch foot pedal circle k into one foot cowboy squeaks and goes back and forth a few times between the switch foot pedal circle k and one foot cowboy squeak.
Rodney is one of Flatmattersonline biggest supporters and its time for you at home to show some love back to Rodney! Let’s hear it in the comments section, this is kind of a short combo by Rodney’s standards!!!
Thank you Rodney for contributing, whose got episode 72?
Episode 70: Flatmattersonline Exclusive with Thiago Balzano
YO!!
It’s time for episode 70 of the Flatmattersonline exclusives, this episode we have a feature with Brazilian rider, Thiago Balzano. Thiago has been living in the Washington DC area, USA for about eight years now and is a dedicated Flatmattersonline reader.
Thiago reached out to me, and let me know the exclusives have really helped push him as a rider and he wanted to use the exclusive as motivation to land a hitchhiker to crackpacker. And as you will see, he hits this line clean, he mentioned that the side step style out of crackpacker to steam was causing him the most problem.
This was really a joy to hear, this is what the exclusives are all about. It’s you and your own personal progression, and using documenting the line to help push forward your own development.
This works on so many levels, I could go on and on.
This did give me an idea, the Flatmattersonline exclusive Line of the year award went to Kio Hayakawa last year, what about if we add a Reader Line of the Year that’s not for Pro’s. This is for riders like BZ, Thiago and whoever comes forward, readers of FM, it makes sense to me.
Does it make sense to you?
Let me know your thoughts, and I’ll announce next week if it’s happening.
Thanks for contributing Thiago!
