Effraim Catlow – Coming Full Circle

June 23, 2014

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the people working behind the scenes running websites are actually riders and usually pretty good on a bike. Effraim Catlow is the man behind Flat Matters, for those of you who didn’t know, but he’s also a phenomenal flatland rider as well. This new video is loaded with some great riding that you won’t want to miss!

“Coming Full Circle
– I have know Effraim Catlow for a few years now we had always spoken about creating him a flatland bmx edit. In Early June 2014, we finally decided to go ahead and shoot. He wanted to create a edit that was true to his style of flatland. Things may have slightly changed since his would championship days, but Effraim’s passion, creativity and progression for flatland have only got stronger. We filmed at at the Brook Club in Portsmouth where Effraim as been riding most days for the past 5 years. This July the Brook Club will be demolished, It was a pleasure to be apart of this project and to also witness and document some of the last few sessions inside of the Brook Club.
