Episode 22: Flatmattersonline Exclusives with Joe Cicman

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

You can count on Joe Cicman to throw a spanner in the works, during this scary unknown time for all of us. Let’s roll with it, three exclusives this week. And the joke artist himself, Joe Cicman is calling NBD, the first to get 2 FM exclusives back to back, at least in the new series as I did 30 odd clips back to back when I first started the FM exclusives back in 2010-11.

The control on this no handed rebate is something else, and I like the simplicity of the composition of the line rather than throwing this in a massive line where it would get lost. This is focussed, there’s a place for everything for sure.

On Sunday, I will be dropping a special FM exclusive dedicated to the Plywood Hoods, Kevin Jones and Mark eaton who celebrated their birthdays this week. Stay tuned for that.
Thanks again Joe for contributing and keeping us all on our toes.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Episode 21: Flatmattersonline Exclusives with Joe Cicman

Posted on by — 17 Comments ↓

Welcome back, it’s that time of the week where I introduce the latest exclusive for the FM series. And today, we have a nice treat from Joe Cicman!
Joe as many of you will know is quite the flatland joke artist, meme creator, and generally busts everyone’s balls all things related to flatland.
It’s often quite easy for me to forget how good of a rider Joe is, and he steps up for today’s exclusive with a move I think he calls a “Fajita Whip”. Joe can correct me and I am sure he will if this is wrong.

Fanks Joe, for stepping up for the 21st episode.

Accidentally deleted Omari’s clip having trouble with uploading episode 19. Apolgises to Omari, clip is back up now…

The response to posting Flatmattersonline exclusives twice a week has been absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for keeping this going during this difficult time for all of us… As we approach 20 episodes, without missing a beat so far, Omari Cato came through with episode 18!

I have no idea what’s going on with these back wheel riders grabbing the tyre, but I like it, and Omari drops something really fresh here!

Thank you Omari for contributing towards the culture.

Episode 17: Flatmattersonline Exclusives with Lee Musselwhite

What’s up everyone?
It’s time for episode 17 of the Flatmattersonline exclusives, this episode features UK shredder, Lee Musselwhite!
Lee is one of those riders that is lucky enough to have a home riding spot, this spot has really come into it’s own during the Covid-19 lockdown. We are in week 6 of the lockdown, and I wondered what effect this lockdown will have on riders without a spot’s progression the longer this situation goes on, it could be massive!
I hit up Lee, and asked if he would be down to film a clip, really liking the backwards boomerang concepts he’s working with here!
Thank you Lee for contributing towards the culture.

Episode 15: Flatmattersonline Exclusives with Benjamin Großjohann

Posted on by — 13 Comments ↓

With the Flatmattersonline exclusives dropping twice a week, the updates feel like they are coming thick and fast for me. One of my favourite things about putting FM together is the surprises I get, whether its someone I haven’t heard from in a while, a new video, some news, or in this case Benjamin Großjohann hitting me up with a clip for episode 15!
I haven’t seen much footage of Benjamin for a while, and he’s a name I don’t see on social media either, which is a rare thing these days.
Benjamin comes through with an amazing back wheel line holding the tyre that you don’t want to miss, filmed in Berlin, Germany. Thanks Benjamin for contributing!

Welcome back, switching things up as the lockdown continues for the COVID 19 pandemic. Instead of once a week dropping exclusives, let’s change things up to two exclusives a week and help entertain riders across the globe!
Terry Adams has his own riding spot at home, and threw down this amazing line cutting down the dead time between switches with the best OUTRO yet.

Thanks to Terry for contributing towards the culture.

Who’s got the next clip? Let’s keep this flowing….

It’s that time of the week…

Renz Viaje comes through with Episode 12 of the Flatmattersonline exclusives. Renz links the ever popular ice cream bike flip into a front wheel line with a savvy style at his backyard riding spot over in the Philippines. Isolation is alright for some. Thanks Renz for contributing!

Episode 11: Flatmattersonline Exclusives with Mates Tucek

If you didn’t already know, Mates Tucek is one of the most skilled riders in the game right now. Mates can do so many tricks, and his tricktionary grows by the week it seems.
He went in a refreshing direction for this 11th episode of the FM exclusives, that showcases some of the skill I am talking about. Pulling a trick opposite, then into regular. Not something you see everyday, thanks Mates for taking the time to do this.

Episode 10: Flatmattersonline exclusives with Dan Hennig

Posted on by — 18 Comments ↓

Whoa, we made it! Ten episodes in such a short space of time. Dan Hennig has been on a mission over the winter to get ready for the contest season, and of course we are all on lockdown after the COVID-19 pandemic shut us all down pretty much. Dan went out and dropped one of the best Flatmattersonline exclusives so far, at an awesome looking spot somewhere in Zurich, Switzerland, before he himself was on lockdown. Thanks a lot Dan for stepping up for the tenth episode, who’s got the next clip?

* In related news, who thinks I should do a 1-10 video recap of the clips so far? Let me know in the comments section. Thinking of various ideas, as we all face being on lockdown for three months….
