Spotted this new gem from GoPro that was just released over on Flat Matters featuring Matthias Dandois getting his waltz on with the help of a few of their cameras! Needless to say, this turned out so good since Matthias never disappoints when it comes to riding! It’s weird how music like this can go with BMX, haha.

Art Thomason – Brakeless Week 1
You know you are always in for a treat when a fresh BMX video from Art Thomason surfaces over on Flat Matters! It sounds like Art decided to pull off the front brakes and go completely brakeless for his riding for the time being. Here’s a look at some of the tricks he has dialed in since the decision in the first week. It looks like he had no trouble getting used to this one.
Michael Steingraeber – Blast From The Past
There’s no denying that BMX can be frustrating and as time goes on, you learn new tricks and like it or not, you forget some. We spotted this video on Flat Matters of Michael Steingraeber giving a few tricks he hasn’t linked together in nearly 13 years back together again! Take a look! Also, how old do you feel knowing that Hot In Here has been out for 13 years?
“So much to say here: I have been to riding for so many years, memory fails me, I confuse contests or forget them altogether. But I know 2002 was a great year for me contest wise. I used to do many tricks switch and I believe many riders remember me for that. My friend Calvin Tan recently asked me to do that again and I said it’s too hard, which it actually is. But I can still do a few of my old tricks, even if it’s shaky.
It was fun to challenge myself to do this one afternoon. And then I remembered stuff like this was once worth $US10,000 according to a few street riders. Fun times!
p.s.: Remember that song? Cologne Worlds 2002? I love it!”
