It has been a while since we’ve seen Phil Demattia‘s name pop up! Apparently he hasn’t been riding much lately, but he got in his first session in a year at Breaking Free Skatepark and absolutely crushed it. Plenty of lip tricks and combos that are so good. We’re not sure how he was able to ride like this with so much time off, but we’re stoked on it. Check it!
“Roc Bottom” – Phil Demattia & Tony Hamlin
So stoked on this one! Phil Demattia and Tony Hamlin‘s section from the “Roc Bottom” BMX video is now online. Between both of these guys getting crazy on the grinds and Phil mixing in some brakes to create some unique riding, you have one hell of a video you can’t pass up! Check it!
“DIG proudly presents the next Roc Bottom section featuring two of Rochester’s finest​ Phil Demattia and Tony Hamlin, one a kickflipping transplant from the UK and the other a local who has been a mainstay of the scene for many years. These two are familiar faces who don’t need much introduction, so press play and enjoy!”
“I think this section represents what it’s like to ride with Tony & Phil. Y’know, the kind of stuff they’d be doing any given session. Tony is an amazingly nimble bike rider, and Phil has accurate precision. I’d say 90% of Tony’s clips he was just messing around. Phil’s crankflips can’t be fucked with. He has a unique bike setup; two pegs on the same side as his sprocket. Giving his back left pedal / crank a nice open spot for grinding. The over pedal slide is so dope. Both of these guys kill it, and it’s cool seeing them in a split part. Next up is the dynamic duo of Cork & Ickspat (Nick Spath) who close out the video.” – Matt Smith

Eclat – Phil Demattia Boneyard Skatepark Edit
Phil Demattia has always impressed me with his crankflip abilities and unorthodox approach to riding in general. This edit he takes it up a notch and really displays amazing manual control to go along with everything else you know and love from Phil. Add in great filming and editing from Will Evans and a refreshing song choice and you’ve got your must see of the day.
Rampworx – Paul Ryan/Phil Demattia New Park Promo
Paul Ryan and Phil Demattia take a lap around the new Rampworx street plaza section. Both the ramps and the camera work are so dialed! The riders had to be on their game too, cause there is no room for editing in this one!
