Effraim Catlow coming through with the goods from a single flatland session…
We’re always stoked to see what Effraim Catlow is getting into over in the U.K. Here’s a look at a video he whipped up from a session he was able to get in recently that went from just a session to filming a bunch of combos to make a full edits worth of riding. Take a peek! You won’t be disappointed.
“It’s been a long time coming, three years in fact since my last edit with Ollie Denny. During that time, I have been battling injuries off and on the bike, it’s been hard to get any rhythm. Ironically I just crashed on my roadbike a few hours before we filmed this.
Matti Hemmings popped down this past weekend, and quickly turned from “Let’s get a few tricks” to “might as well film an edit Effraim?”. In one session I did 7 combos I was pretty happy with, the ender though got corrupted. So That will have to wait for the next project.
If you listened to my interview with Scott O’Brien you will have heard me talking about this idea of releasing EP’s before the LP. let’s call this the One Session EP.
Thank you Matti Hemmings for taking the time to film in this “One Session” edit.
Tune: Mr Brown – The Time Stealer.”

Art Thomason coming through with some fresh footage from his flatland sessions as of late…
Whenever we check Flat Matters and we see Art Thomason has a new video, we get super pumped. It’s not every day that you get to see riding from a guy who spends his days working at NASA and his free time riding flatland. Here’s a fresh batch of footage from some of his backyard flatland sessions over the course of the past few months. As always, Art is dialed as ever, and it looks like taking the brakes off didn’t hurt things, either. Take a look!
“Here are a few tricks I have been working on over the past couple of months.” – Art Thomason
It’s not every day you see a kid this young crushing it…
We were just checking out Flat Matters when we stumbled across this video featuring young Takato laying down some real dialed flatland riding. What’s crazy is that Takato is only 8 years old and he’s already SUPER smooth and making it look so easy. If this doesn’t blow your mind, we suggest you grab your bike and give it a whirl… We would imagine we’ll be seeing more of this kid in the future. I was probably running around hitting myself in the head with a whiffle bat when I was 8 years old…
The annual Flat Matters Year End Awards are underway and the nominees for all the different categories have been announced. You can check out who the nominees for Best Flatland Rider to Most Progressive and Break Through Rider of the year are by visiting the Flat Matters website!

Here’s a gem we spotted over on Flat Matters that you have to check out. Viki Gomez released this new video of some of his latest Instagram clips from the flatland sessions he has been getting in over the course of the year. As you should know by now, Viki has a DEEP bag of tricks and is no stranger to cooking up some incredibly difficult combos, and that’s exactly what this is filled with. Hit play. You will be blown away by the clips in this, even if you don’t ride flatland.
“Freestyle is a big part of my riding and this compilations shows a kind of riding that borns and dies in the same day, Very proud to keep increasing my bag of tricks during all the trips! Small tricks lead to big tricks! Hope it will inspire others to keep on progressing!”
