Love the amount of flat coverage. As a mid school guy I was explained to the younger kids how we knew about the racing ,flat, and dirt scene just as much as rank and street because of things like Bmx plus, snap, and company vids like American muscle and dead sailor. So we knew about Greg romaro and NorCal pull, and we knew how day smith did in B3 just as much as nasty and Doyle are doing on the dk dirt circuit. I guess what I’m saying is this is really cool to see all the coverage and give some light to our sides of the sport other than just coasters and flat ledge content. Keep it up boys!
Kenny Vloggins well said dude, our bmx is really pushing hard to get back what was stolen. Stolen? Is that the right word I don’t know? Anyway keep up the good work guys !
couldn't agree more Kenny, flatland has always been treated like the red-headed step child, always nice to see the more mainstream coverage give some shine to flatland, hope they keep it up
I already commented on this a while back...but I just re-watched it. New thoughts - A) Takahiro doesn't switch rigs so he just knows his bike the best. Period. It took me two years to build my current flatland rig...And it is staying that way for a reason. B) Benjamin Hudson's slow, creeper style is gold. C) Alex Jumelin and Matthias Dandois have their own little microcosm thing going on from riding together...which is hard to do in the age of light-speed, global information overload. ...Now I'm going to ride and shut my grease hole.
If I wasnt snowboarding in the winter, i was Flatlanding in the Spring/Summer. These dudes are pro and make it look easy, but truth is there is Incredible Practice and technical knowledge involved. Always been a fan of flatlanding because i was afraid of Heights and ramps lmfao
ikeda is really good. But my problem with him is he needs to expand his style. Too many videos i see him do the exact same couple of tricks. with minor variations on the same tricks. I like the riders who have a wide range of tricks that they do really well.
The guy in the thumbnail has one of the dopest BMX's I've seen. Does anyone know what's the brand and model of handlebar he's running on his bike? I'd appreciate any help given☝️🤓.
The thumbnail I am seeing is of Takahiro Ikeda. The frame / bike is a Flamon..which is his company. They are, in fact, very cool. I'm still very down with full-on flatland frames. Here's a vid of the bikes - th-cam.com/video/gfTVhmwqiN4/w-d-xo.html
@@HexBMX I'll check out your link in a second. I just ordered a set of Hazard Lite rims, and am getting an update on my order. I'm trying to keep my customizations as Odyssey'd out as possible, but these bars may beat the Odyssey Bayou's (Terry Adams) in this competition for winning my mallet stem☝️😎!
It must suck to be Takahiro. You are so good that after a while, they can't even place you in the top three because of politics. He makes people look like they have no balance.
Ok, wait just a damn second.. 1st place!? "So, smooth and original"!? Are you high? 85% of his run is page 1 of "Flatland for dummies" Hey, guys..2002 called kuoppa and gomez want their tricks back. I was doing this same exact run when I was 16-17 they were some of the first tricks I ever learned lol. I'm so sorry to the runners up, and I'm sorry but 1st shouldn't have even cracked the top 10. This is so bias it's honestly not funny cause this is how a lot of them make their living and put food on the table. To the judge I hope you choke on that bribe money..
A lot of old schoolers can't handle the constant circle. I'm old school myself. .and I have grown to appreciate it. A lot. Watch it again and check out Benjamin Hudson's run. It's slower and more palatable for the old schoolers. I don't ride like this...and don't want to...but, man, these guys are ninja-core badass.
@@HexBMX well there's the upsides as well as downsides. I thought I was the only one that felt like this till Eddie fiola made video talking about it. Times must change as things do I am sure it takes much skill and like back in the day some ppl stood out more than others and they did some cool tricks but as well as the tricks became a certain way so have the bikes. May be built stronger but majority looks the same and it kinda took something out of the sport. I guess that's why x games stopped flatlanding out of competition. It kill me because skateboarding is still going.
@@randinonsense7360 I totally get it, man. And when I heard Fiola say that, I was like, "Yep!". I have certain new school riders I like to watch...but a lot of riders fall into the circle abyss.
Our BMX absolutely. Switches, keeping balance, amazing strength I’m not taking anything away from these guys. But let’s kee it real, it’s the same thing over and over, a bunch of spins and twirls. Ballerinas on bikes
Matthias was better this time. However, he’s had the same run for three years and the judges are probably getting tired of it. He needs to improvise and change it up.
Matthias Dandois has the most original moves.

imho this contest would be extremely difficult to judge. magnificent riding from all riders shown.
Holy Jebus!! More and better spinning than I've ever seen...

@@OurBMX Just watched this again..in 2021. It's still just as awesome as it was two years ago.
AMAZING !! It's like the ballet for surfers 🤟
everyone: the floor is hot lava. flatland riders:
These guys have phenomenal balance
MatThias Dandois, vence qualquer desafio!!!!!!

demasiado buenos riders , a entrenar mas para estar alli!!
Biased!!! Matthias should be the winner ... His tricks was awesome and smoother ...
Yeah but is The same Run in ten years thats is The problem
The true champion is matthias dandois,the judges suck,not fair because in japan
LLL agreed
ikeda is really good. But my problem with him is he needs to expand his style. Too many videos i see him do the exact same couple of tricks. with minor variations on the same tricks. I like the riders who have a wide range of tricks that they do really well.
takahiro ikeda was robbed. he should have been in top 3
agreed
@@chasepe5762 Yes.
Rio🥇🏆
Thanks for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muito bom mesmo Márcio Brasil
Magnifique 🤘😎🤘
Was watching this on tv and had to see em all right away
I miss matt wilhelm, york uno, terry adam, kritsada pattuma and mat dagu skill... so long time ago...
Martti kouppa
How many contestants were there?
It’s a shame that flatland has turned into spinning in circles on the front wheel.
this is more like Figure Skating. I prefer the era of Mags and Flight Suits :P
Does anyone know what kind of red bike that takahiro was riding& black bike that Dominic nekolny was riding? wicked fame&bars..
autumbikes.com/blogs/japan-tour/dominik-nekolny-bike-check
anyone know what frame Moto riding? Looks like Intrikat but different color
Where is Yohei Uchino?
What song is Dandois riding to?
Wow I stop doing BMX when I was 25. Now I'm 33 and miss it but my bones won't heal like when I was 20.
Dari INDONESIA Like🇮🇩
1st and second should be flipped, I think this is based on the rider and location... #robbed
The real champion is second,is matthias dandois,the judges is sucks not fair,because in japan,bullshit
I see if I ask I will receive thanks ourbmx . And can I get a job with you guys ?
Haha. If you’re willing to work long hours and for free, sure!
And I mean that in a way that that's exactly what I'm doing at the moment, hah.
The guy in the thumbnail has one of the dopest BMX's I've seen. Does anyone know what's the brand and model of handlebar he's running on his bike? I'd appreciate any help given☝️🤓.
I don’t, sorry. Maybe someone else will chime in.
@@OurBMX I need those or something similar for my Performer 😂.

Also, I THINK those bars are also made by his company. I will double check when I get home.

Rio anda muito mais o 1° place era pra ser de Mathias Dandois
19:20 - look how he goes with the music and drop, bruh. Still Matthias will be the best for me.
Their feet move so quick
Mattias#1
👍👍.
Mathias should have won
True winner is matthias
Anyone looking at that knows number 2 should be number 1 he was in a different class to the rest
The DJ is blowin me
Just the music would have been fine
Smh

ten komentátor se nedá poslouchat...kawasaki šílenej :-D
Matthias has been doing the same ( safe run for years ) needs to change
Ping pong pow
Matthias 1°
I feel sorry for the judges.
Matthias Dandois had the most variation in his routine and performed them so smoothly with style. Questionable judging there throughout
Sorry, no hate...but tall people just look funny doing flatland
OK, I changed my mind, Dandois is 6'1" and he looks pretty tight and graceful....
Mat robbed again 😕
Everybody know who is the best. I dont like to see this kind of .....
Ok, wait just a damn second..
1st place!?
"So, smooth and original"!?
Are you high? 85% of his run is page 1 of "Flatland for dummies"
Hey, guys..2002 called kuoppa and gomez want their tricks back.
I was doing this same exact run when I was 16-17 they were some of the first tricks I ever learned lol.

It's sad that flatlanding has come to this.

Only thing ruin this video is that stupid camera man blocked every thing
This is a circus show I don’t see any BMX tricks just one wheeled spins. Same damn trick over and over
You need to pay closer attention. It’s all about the switches between.
Our BMX absolutely. Switches, keeping balance, amazing strength I’m not taking anything away from these guys. But let’s kee it real, it’s the same thing over and over, a bunch of spins and twirls. Ballerinas on bikes
I dont know you but in saw Dandois do The same tricks Ever!!
Sorry but boring!
I gave this video a thumbs down simply because the dude filming was standing behind someone so you couldn't see half the tricks.
That was only in the very beginning. It’s a contest environment, sometimes it’s hard to control. :(
But I gave your comment a thumbs up because I’m still nice.
Flatland With No Brakes Is Stupid! Flatland Was Better 20 Years Ago!
Incorrect.
But I respect your opinion
Both eras are awesome. And I'm from the old school. And I mean OLD school.
1st placer is really riding technical nailing trick after trick in a slow pace execution
@@dientroemplamado4402 His slow approach does have some serious style to it. Total contrast compared to most modern riders..
These dudes are lit and that crowd is more lame than eating dry cereal in a 1976 Pinto
@Jill Kews Jill, I think I had you in homeroom. I sat next to you alphabetically. My last name is also Kews.
Matthias was better this time. However, he’s had the same run for three years and the judges are probably getting tired of it. He needs to improvise and change it up.
Yes is The same Run And this is not feom three years is from 2009
The judges is suck not fair because in japan,bullshit,the real winner of all is matthias dandois
I miss matt wilhelm, york uno, terry adam, kritsada pattuma and mat dagu skill... so long time ago...
