A compilation of 2 years worth of Instagram clips, repurposed into a raw YouTube video. I shoot most of my Instagram content with a regular camera at either a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio, then crop it vertically for reels. This video showcases a lot of those clips in their original state.

Your favorite tech biker's favorite tech biker.... Matt Nordstrom. Nordy has years worth of meltage all oooey gooey on his Insta. And in recent months, we've mocked up a few different versions of compiling them for your mind-melting pleasure. With his new frame and updated bar out now...
Filming at night is nothing new in BMX, but what isn't really explored is the reasons for doing it. Some places are so hot, the most comfortable time to ride is at night. More densely populated areas are often so bustling that the best time to be productive is when the average bystander has gone to bed. And for many, the only way to make time for BMX is when you punch out for the day and somehow still have the drive to pedal even after the sun has gone down. After becoming a dad, I learned that I was still very motivated to ride, but had to adapt to new responsibilities in order to keep the stoke alive. I began riding at night more often, despite not having a lot of decent spots, a well-lit skatepark or many others to ride with. Although far from perfect, night time sessions allowed me to balance a new phase of my life as well as make time to enjoy what I love to do.
Gradually, the sessions became less isolated and the stoke started to spread to others. Trips over the hill to ride in San Jose or other nearby cities led to some really fun sessions. A special camaraderie was growing from these night missions, with other riders finding ways to balance their work/responsibilities and make time for BMX. Even though night time conditions offer many challenges, the energy was something that we were all largely growing fond of. On nights where the moon shown in full and provided slightly more visibility, a certain kind of magic enveloped the sessions.

Frank Lukas: I think this frame is the most iconic Flatland frame ever designed and produced. It changed everything. Don’t quote me here, but I think it was the very first “Flatland specific frame”. I also think that the riders who rode the frame had the biggest impact on Flatland besides Kevin and Chase. I was so into Westcoast Flatland- Richard, Jesse, Edgar and many more...
"In February 2023 I decided to move from Romania to the Netherlands in search of new adventures. While catching planes and trains (missing some of them too of course), pedaling hundreds of kilometers and driving from one area code to another, I had the pleasure to meet a lot of awesome people, made some new friends and rode my bike at some of the best street spots and skateparks.
The 10th Annual Winter Welcome Jam went down at one of the sickest indoor parks on the East Coast, The Wheel Mill, at the center of a thriving scene that is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
S&M's UK killah Jonny Devine has done a bit of bouncing around the last few years. The result? A global collection of clips of him killing it on dirt and concrete all mashed into this sweet vid.
Anlässlich des 20-jährigen Dienstjubiläums vom @kunstformbmxshop in Stuttgart gab es neben einem dicken Streetjam (wir berichteten) auch eine gechillte Flatlandsession am Haus der Geschichte, seines Zeichens vielleicht der berühmteste Flatlandspot hierzulande. Mit von der Partie war unter anderem die Hälfte aller Teilnehmer des DM-Finales, gegen die Kälte gab es also die ein oder andere hotte Combos zu sehen. Hier sind einige Highlights.
