BMX Flatland VS Street Bike Freestyle
Here’s an interesting one we spotted over on Flat Matters that we’re kind of surprised we haven’t seen before! It’s kind of ironic actually because a few weeks back at the International Motorcycle Show in Minneapolis, they did a freestyle street bike demo and I was thinking how there’s a lot of similarities to flatland and that it would be cool to see the two together… This video featuring Lee Musselwhite and Lee Bowers is exactly what I imagined. Take a look!
“Two-wheel specialists Lee Musselwhite and Lee Bowers style it out for the very first BMX Flatland vs Streetbike Freestyle combination edit the internet has ever seen. Thanks to Kawasaki, Addict Clothing, Icon and Maxxis Tyres.

Editorial: Front Brake Perception
In The Union’s existence, we have worked with a lot of different photographers and filmers on original content. We have always wanted to work in some creative writing as well, but we didn’t quite know just how we wanted to go about it. Then, the other week Stuart Fenton hit us up asking if we would be interested in giving something like that a go and we decided to see just where we could take it! Today we are presenting you our first Editorial and we think it turned out great. Let’s take a look at this great piece by Stuart with with a perspective on Front Brakes and their current status…
“Over time every style of riding has had a moment in the sun, only to fizzle away and immerge reinvented years later. It’s the Double Helix phenomenon; when one style or fashion is in an ascent, another is in descent. In the context of BMX it means that riding is always evolving and never standing still. Over the last ten years we have seen a park riding boom, a trails revival and now we find ourselves perched firmly on a 3.5 foot waxed marble ledge. The same phenomenon can be observed through the popularity of freestyle era four piece bars, which ten years ago would have been laughable. Four piece bars were the badge of the BMX dinosaur, not the forward thinking BMX revolutionary! Additionally, we’ve also seen the popularity of once neglected front wheel manoeuvres, another remnant of the Freestyle days and the flatland foundations of BMX….
Shadow Conspiracy – Jono Hopping “Oldies but Goodies”
The Shadow Conspiracy dropped this banger of an edit featuring Jono Hopping crushing spots down in New Zealand and Australia from a year ago! It goes to show just how much crazy footage is just sitting and waiting to be seen! Hit play because this one does NOT disappoint!
“New Zealand Shadow rider Jono Hopping had been sitting on a bunch of random footage from his Kiwi homeland and neighboring countryside of Australia for almost a year without an idea of what to do with it.
Rather than let it go to waste, he gave it to Shadow TM and videographer Ryan Chadwick to put it all together. Hit play and check out the madman himself shred down under in some old but definitely still good clips in this brand new Shadow Conspiracy edit.
