It’s time to announce the winners of the Editorial and Reader Choice 2025 Flatmattersonline Year end awards. 2025 was one of the better years, in terms of edits, instagram clips, add to to that of course jams and contests in recent times.

As I put together the editorial side of things running Flatmattersonline. I like to discuss why I’ve picked the winners and offer some insight. It’s time to get into the details, it’s cliche to say, but truly just to be nominated feels like a master achievement in my opinion.

Let’s kick off with your votes in the reader choice category….

Must Watch: Pedro Melo / Welcome to Heresy

Posted on by — 8 Comments ↓

2026 has started with a bang, and it’s already hard to keep up. This is massive news, Pedro Melo on Heresy, this addition totally fits the brand.
Pedro can do it all, and keeps it fun, Flatland, Street, Ditches, Skateparks, and of course we are interpreted in the flatland and as always Pedro does not disappoint.
This man is like a cult figure in the flatland world, the x-ft halfpacker with knee on peg at 1:20 is groundbreaking, followed by the surfer nose wheelie although I’ve seen him do this before its a move that deserves to be highlighted.
The x-up nose at a skatepark at 2:48 I have never seen before, likewise with the x-hand tyre slide at 3:13, Pedro is so creative and it continues, towards the end of the edit going back to cutting edge flatland, everything is so creative and groundbreaking.
Its January and we might have a contender for edit of the year already!

What a great move for Heresy and Pedro!!

Put two underrated creatives together, and you got yourself some magic. Today, we got ourselves another Must Watch, the man is a master of the Gadget Whip, check the flowing GW lines at 2:25, and especially 2:41 with the pumping half hiker in between each gadget whip and the x-ft hitch juggler ender is so clean at 3:34.

So much style and grace in Joachim’s riding, I’m a big fan. Thanks Stephane Bar for documenting this Frenchamn’s riding, the world needs to see this guy!

The annual Matsudo Jam took place on the 6th December, last year. This feels like an annual tradition at this point, the year doesn’t start until we see Jimalog’s annual Matsudo jam getting dropped.

This jam round, Akihiko Takahashi, Yu Shoji, Takahiro Ikeda, Shinichiro Hara, Masashi Itani,
Varo Hernandez, and Anatole Rahain throw down their latest moves.

Already two must watch edits this year, thank you Jimalog for contributing to the flatland culture once again!
