Here’s a fresh Flat Matters exclusive Effraim filmed last weekend at the Guru Jam of Jean William Prevost coming in with a dialed new combo he just pulled. Take a peek!
“Whilst I was at the guru jam, I caught up with Dub to film a new combo which actually he said this was the first one he pulled. He wants to add a lot more to it but the ant rider turbines to shove it backyard into junkyard is so nice! Enjoy! More fm clips to follow…. – Effraim Catlow
Here’s the latest episode of Flatweb TV that I spotted over on Flat Matters! This episode is pretty special because they’ve got a few guest hosts, including Effraim from Flat Matters, to talk about the Guru Jam that’s going down in Ohio this weekend. Take a peek!
“In this special Guru preview episode of FlatWebTV, we talk to Joe Cicman, Danny Sirkin and Effraim Catlow about all things Guru Jam 2013. A live look inside the Terradome with Tyler Gilliard even nailing a half-cab whip on cue. Be sure to watch the live stream on the 26th (check out gurujam2013.com for details).“
This past weekend, Effraim Catlow brought the legendary U.K contest, The King of Concrete, back to the Southsea skatepark! It sounds like it was a big success and based on what we’ve seen from footage that has surfaced over the course of the week, it was loaded with good times and real good riding. Take a peek at the official press release below and then check out the entire list of results right here!

Our very own Effraim Catlow from Flat Matters has decided to step away from his sponsor, Junglerider. To bring the news and say thanks for the past two years, he put together this rad clip for you to check out!
“Unfortunately my signature e-frame isn’t going into production. In keeping with the Junglerider philosophy heres a clip I have been working on for a while, inspired by Martti Kuoppa and Sam Foakes. Thanks for the support Boss! Flatmatters!”
Effraim over at Flat Matters just dropped part three of the 2012 review he’s been compiling. This time around he’s got all of the best videos from September through the end of the December put together for your viewing pleasure. Go give all of that flatland goodness a look right here.
Effraim over at Flat-Matters dug through all of the posts he made over the past year and decided to compile a review of the best edits from 2012. He quickly realized this list is pretty massive, so he has broken it up into different parts. You can check out part one RIGHT HERE. Awesome.
