This is seriously getting out of hand. Martti had a new video up just yesterday, and today he’s back at it with even more progression. At 2:43 he does a one-handed bunnyhop tailwhip from the back pegs, landing on the front peg. Please re-read that, then watch…

MacNeil just posted on their site that after three years of working with Travis Collier to make flatland components and frames, they have stopped all production on the products and are just going to focus on the rest of their line. Travis will still be on the team and will still work with MacNeil on other projects. It’s kind of a shame that a BMX company chooses to focus more attention on the beach cruiser market than part of the BMX world, but in today’s economy, who can blame them…
Here’s the news straight from macneilbmx.com…
“It’s been 3 great years since we first brought Travis Collier onto the MacNeil team and started to make flatland products. The intent from the beginning was to have fun and collaborate with Travis on a creative level and maybe even help bridge a bit of the gap between flatland and the rest of BMX world.
Even thought Travis is still riding for MacNeil and very much a part of the team, we will not be continuing to make flatland products in 2010. We had a blast creating a unique line of parts with Travis, but we feel at this time it’s best to let the flatland world move in the direction it wants to go, while we move in ours.
Our relationship with Travis will otherwise remain the same, he’s still on our team and will be riding one-offs of his frame design. We have some other projects lined up with Travis for this year and are as stoked as ever to continue working with him!
A little note for Collier fans. There are still some of his frames available, but production has ended, so if you want to pick it up, get one now before they are all gone…”

Martti Kuoppa has been sessioning hard lately in the cold of Finland and seems to be posting quick edits every few days or so. His newest video has some awesome combos in it, then a bit of wild monolog about not wanting to repeat tricks because it slows down his progression.

I’m not exactly sure what this edit was made for, but it is put together really well. It’s definitely more about the artful edit than the riding, but it’s Matthias so of course there is plenty of awesome stuff in there…

Austin is known for being a popular BMX hub in the U.S., but in addition to the T1 ramp, the 9th St. trails, and all the street spots, there’s also a huge flatland scene. Rad Dad filmed some of the sessions throughout the month and put together this edit to show what the ATX flat crew has been up to at their local spot.

I’m not sure what Buckistles is, and I’ve never heard of these riders, but this video is a really cool conceptual flatland edit that took some time, creativity, and planning. I’m really into seeing people try out new ideas like this. Hopefully some of you are open minded enough to like it too.
