And he'll keep on winning until Foakes, Miller, or Faris comes back... I'd like to see Hotoke match up against Matthias in a battle too; I think he could totally outflow him with his style.
All the pros are awesome, but it's mostly these guys that could match Matthias' consistency and difficulty in a contest setting. (of course, I'm semi-joking about Faris obviously, although he did invent the "bomb trick" Matthias is using in a lot of his runs nowadays many years ago =). None of this means I don't enjoy seeing Matthias win a lot, because he flat out kills it and deserves it, but it seems like it's been a while since anyone has been on the same level as him in comps.

To be honest I'm started to get a bit bored of his style, but I guess being in all the major contests means you don't have much time left to progress.

Thanks for the vids! :beer:
lol that 3rd video that last inline skate trick was the weakest ever soul grind lolll made everyone wait just for a SOUL GRIND? :huh: :P

I got the chance to watch him ride in person(not at a contest) and he pretty much does whatever he wants on a bike. Watching him scuff tricks blew my mind...but he can, and he does...and he has an awesome attitude about riding for the fun of it. He progresses...you can't help but progress when you live on your bike, and your having fun.

Tod is right. He can do basically anything he wants on a bike. He's done so many video parts for such a short amount of time riding, and the amount of stuff he's been able to do over the few years he's been putting out footage has been astounding. I saw him screwing around at fight with flight, and while nobody has done a proper part with him for a while now, he has definitely progressed a lot.

1st off all hugo, i thought u r an adult person who knows how things r standing.. but with this comment ive channged my mind. how can u possibly say smthnk like that. i know u sad in other thread some time ago that matthias is just a child or smtnhk like that. well? maybe u r, cause u let your opinion about personality get to u and your perception on his riding... he is not progressing. hehe u need to visit an oculist, seriously. + he is not my favourite rider but cmon its so obvious no one can touch him atm
take care :beer:
-
Rule number 1: Add Hugo to your ignore list.
-
Matthias is my favorite flatlander.. hes just to good ^^
and he become pro in 3 years.. i call that talent.. simply made for flatland.

I agree Md wining everything can get little boring and predicable but
there are always athletes in any sport that wins alot are at the top of his/her game,
that in itself will never cease
but for all the haters don't worry
you stick around long enough and will realize that
time is NOT on their side and there will always be some one better, faster, more consistent, and more creative that takes over the top spot then the process repeats itself again
but for now let him enjoy the spotlight & wins
he's in a place that most of us envy to be in.

-
Never dull or boring is MD's win, hopefully he will not bore himself at contest runs.
All he has now or it will head that way completely...he is his own challenge. He has so much more to give, most of us don't see the fullness of his skills/tech off contest runs.

not talent. dedication. He used to ride to the point of passing out in the parking lot when he was younger. Don't see many dudes being that dedicated to riding.
-
Besides dedication he has created his own style/expression. He is one of the few riders who makes pumping look stylish considering....that is talent(natural aptitude or skill)since he is built and born for Flatland/BMX, this not many riders possess. NATURAL.
MD is worthy of being called a pro and later on in his life...I hope he becomes a FREE RIDER, just like the few great riders in the overall industry of Action Sports.

Congrats Matthias!!!

You know, im gonna be the black sheep and defend hugo on this one.
However, there are two major flaws. First, his assumption that competing in contests leaves you no time to progress...which is a moronic assumption.
2nd, that matthias's redundancy is not equated to with other riders. Yes, the majority of people we see in the top 20 are redundant. There are a few who have crazy flow and random ryhthmic style....but its RARE! Appreciate those riders for what they are, because they are gems.
And appreciate matthias, for his dedication to the sport. Without people like him we would not see influential progression.
With that said, I agree. Matthias's runs bore the living hell out of me. I appreciate them infinitely from a technical viewpoint, but I've watched him do so many barflips to spinning tricks or half cab whips or insert matthias redundant trick here....it just....BORING. Despite the fact of how awesome it is that he does it, we've all seen it a million times.
Now, lets give you a everyday analogy:
You meet a super hot girl. 2 years later, your getting bored of effing her. Why? Because you are not appeased by the usual, you are intrigued by THE STRANGE.
And the strange that matthias has brought has worn. He needs new strange to become a new catalyst.

Here is a Video. And he is throwing his 20.5 " the same way as the old one :beer:

The only thing I'm taking away from this is that you stop enjoying sex with beautiful women after a certain period of time.
The guy has put out more video parts than any other pro in recent memory, and has done more tricks in those video parts than any pro in recent memory. He's constantly adding stuff to his runs, and they're getting gradually more and more difficult. Halfcab whip isn't even a year old trick for him and I don't even remember him doing whopper sh*t last year yet people say they are bored of it?
I don't quite get you guys. I am under the impression that you guys want to get rid of judges and replace them with a roman emperor who gives the thumbs up or thumbs down to decide whether or not the winner of the battles gets to kill the other or something.
In fact, I didn't realize that contest runs were supposed to be the pinnacle of flatland entertainment to begin with because i was under the impression that's what video parts are for?

It's the old "Trevor Meyer" syndrome... rider dominates the contest circuit and folks start knit picking away at stuff. The redundancy is probably more a matter of sheer amount of footage on the internet of MD rather then what he is or isn't doing with his riding to make it more appealing. Pros have "contest" tricks that are dialed specifically for that purpose and "session" tricks that they are either working on or that are just so hard to hit that they save them for personal clips they put out from their spot. You want excitement/interesting, watch the session clips; you want who-beat-who at the latest event, watch the contest footy. There's tons more pros out there who have been doing the SAME tricks for well over 6 years now in contests (York Uno, cough, cough =) then Matthias, and after 6 years, yeah, that's pretty boring... but at the same time, York has shown serious skills in non-comp footage that better reflect his riding.
And in the end: if what Matthias is doing is so far ahead of the field that he can keep doing it and pull a win, why change? (not that he doesn't). Dude wins because his conversion time of session tricks to contest tricks is almost zero. ;D

wow this was a huge contest and audience. the flatland world needs more of these
