Lookback: May 2015 – The Flatmattersonline 2015 Year end awards

Looking back, May was a crazy month in the year, check through my highlights from the month….


Sean Fontenot’s riding always has me on the edge of my seat, check this latest short edit where he states “I’ve always been good at G-turns, but bad with nose manuals. I’ve decided to correct that.” Shot with Konova K7 Slider (aside from last shot) Sean’s riding is so explosive, amazing stuff at the Globe spot in Long Beach, California!


Flatland legend, Trevor Meyer kills this Chiacgo parking lot between shows on the front and back wheel. This is well worth a watch!


At the age of 43, Todd Carter has made the move up to the Pro ranks and is arguably riding better than ever. Check out this great edit he just put together to celebrate, it’s going down for real!

Aloha Jam – BMX Holiday 2014

Aloha Jam – BMX Holiday 2014 from Diversion TV on Vimeo.

I’ve been waiting to see this Aloha Jam edit, Bobby Carter explains all:

Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. Aloha Jam is not a contest, it’s a BMX Holiday to enjoy the craft and the magic of the Hawai’ian Island of O’ahu.
All are welcome, as all are important….as you can see in the video we have old school freestylers, mid school, and new school flatlanders. We also have street riders on the scene sessioning a nice manual pad and working on flatground techniques.
BMX not only brings us to together to share in the art, but it also brings us together as friends – as a family – to share life experiences. The day after riding everyone went on a snorkeling adventure at Hanauma Bay, which is the base of an ancient volcano.
For those who attended, the Aloha Jam BMX Holiday left incredible experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime! See you at the next event!
Aloha and Mahalo!
Thanks to Derek Takemoto, Duane Franklin at Bike Factory, Kala Yasuda, and all the riders that helped make this event possible! SHOOTS! \m/
