Ride Fast – Live Slow: Brian "Yellow" Gavagan from Jim McKay on Vimeo.
Throwback to this awesome edit by Jim McKay featuring Colorado shredder, Brian Gavagan from 2014. Brian can do it all, and has fun doing so. It’s been a while since I saw this, and not sure I posted this the first time round.
Saudi’s finest, Khaled Huerta keeps on bringing the heat literally! Hit play for a heavy front line, so much flow!
YO!!!
What’s up everyone?
It’s been a minute since a fresh Flatmattersonline exclusive, and today we bring it back in style with one of the best to do it… Hoffman Bikes very own Matt Wilhelm!!
This exclusive kills two birds with one stone so to speak, its been a while since I have seen any Matt Wilhelm footage. Whilst we were judging the AFA Dream run contest , it came up in conversation that Matt was down to film an episode, and today he drops a brand new line that I have never seen before.
Ice Cream turbines on the bottom bracket, and a BB Ice Cream bike flip out in brakeless style that Matt suits completely. Hell yeah!!!
Thank you Matt for contributing, whose got episode 60?
Whilst BSD is not a flatland brand so to speak, James White and Amos Burke have been using this frames and products for a good while now. Yesterday, BSD launched “the Revolution Hub” and this certainly looks like it would work well for flatland. Official word below…
Introducing the new BSD Revolution hub…
A freecoaster hub that feels like a cassette hub, weighs the same as a cassette hub, has a pedal gap like a cassette hub and sounds like a cassette hub. Using the Planetary clutch system.
Hub features:
• 30% lighter than conventional freecoaster hubs.
• No gap when pedalling forward.
• Eradicates unwanted engagement on rollbacks.
• Feels and sounds like a cassette hub.
• No need for oversized hub bearings due to low axial load.
• Supertough hollow male 14mm chromo axle.
• BSD hubguards included.

If you need some motivation to start the week, watch this! You will all know by now, Martti Kuoppa has built a coaching programme from the ground up, and this edit features the riders benefiting from his regime.
Here’s the word from the boss himself:
“When I started MK Format online coaching a couple of years ago I had no idea how amazing it will be to work with all these dedicated riders all over the world and to be part of their progression journey. Feeling truly blessed to be in a position to share my knowledge about riding with each one of them.
I am very excited to present this “Timezones” -edit today with Pakphum Poosa-Art “Toon”, Joe Cicman, Oleg Efimov, Varo Hernandez, myself, Irina Sadovnik, Masato Ito and Terry Adams. One combo from each rider.”
Thiago BB 42nd Birthday edit from Thiago_BB on Vimeo.
Thiago BB has been stacking footage since his FM exclusives and celebrates his 42nd Birthday in his smooth as glass style. Belated Happy birthday Thiago, I am a few weeks late posting this!
Snappy new edit from Tyler Gilliard and MCA (sorry couldn’t Rider ID) enjoy a session at an amazing looking spot somewhere in Florida.
Starting the week with a beautifully composed edit by Raphael Chiquet mixing BMX with the Opera. I’m not normally a fan of slo-mo clips, but this style fits really well with the subject in question.
HERESY ZEPHYR TYRE from HERESY BMX on Vimeo.
I posted this promo for the new Heresy Zephyr tyre a few days ago on instagram, I am hearing lots of great things about this product. And Sebastian Grubinger throws down a heavy back wheel line for this, with Sevisual on the editing, you will not want to miss.
Ever wonder what happened to Seppl Pospischil? I’ve been curious a bunch of times when I see random clips pop up time to time from the early 2000 era. Seppl explains all below, great to see him riding and more importantly, enjoying himself…
“In fact, the last three years of riding BMX have been an emotional roller coaster. I’ve had back problems for a long time (who doesn’t have them) and a hip damage in between, which fortunately has healed. At the beginning of 2020 I destroyed my shoulder after I was finally fit again with my back. I used the break to clean up my archive and found various unpublished material (180+ clips!). In addition, I had to realize that I’m about to celebrate my 25th BMX anniversary in the BMX year 2020. So what could be more obvious than making a video out of the material?
To see the thing finished now has a “treat”. Serious flatland riding has unfortunately not been possible for a long time. But my back allowed me to cruise around in skateparks and on pumptracks. Often, against better knowledge, my ego came through, which was promptly acknowledged with lumbago. You just have to listen to your body more and switch to vacation mode if necessary. I had to learn that first. My kids and my wife are mainly responsible for the good vibes in the video. They forced me in front of the camera on our trips, even if I sometimes didn’t want to. For that a big THANK YOU and therefore also the home video character in one place or another 😉
Many thanks also go to SIBMX / Bodo Hellwig for 17 years of excellent support. And I would also like to thank Ali from Moto for the pedals and the kunstform BMX Shop for everything else.
Somehow this video comes full circle. 25 years ago I started BMX as a youngster in the skate park, now I’m back with my two boys. Let’s see what the future will bring … I’m definitely up for it!
Cheers
Seppl Pospischil
