Summary: Matt's Best Contribution to Flatland
Review: As a long time fan of Matt Wilhelm, from watching him ride on TV to having the honors of naming his video, I can honestly say that he poured his heart and soul into the production of this how-to video; the best how-to video yet! Not only does this DVD cover more tricks than any other how-to out there, it shows smaller details which might be overlooked in other how-tos, and from different camera angles and speeds.

Right off the bat is his 8 minute long 'spy' video featuring some of his best riding, links and variations soo complicated it seems impossible (literally, my grandfather tried to convince me it was all computer generated)!

Onto the how-tos: Although it's easier said than done, watching this video will give you an instant hype to go outside and ride. It really motivates you to try new things, no matter how long it takes. With patience and understanding, you too can master the tricks featured in this video. From balance basics such as endos, tailwhips, to scuffing tricks such as funky chickens and wheelchairs, to spinning tricks like steamrollers and miccircles and the always popular megaspin, just watching Matt perform these various maneuvers is enough to make you feel like you're right there listening to the tire grind against the pavement. While I do find the interface a bit not to my liking, everything else is well done and easy to understand. From setting up for a trick to gaining balance to dialing it down, Matt shows all. So if you're considering getting into the flatland scene, buying this video would be the best advice to give any beginner.

..just wait until volume TWO comes out!

Summary: Best Flatland Video EVER!!!
Review: This is the best video ever made for flatland bike. Period. It really motivated me to go out and learn the tricks explained in the video. In addition to that, it inspired me to invent tricks of my own and to explore new riding possibilities.

It is known to all that Matt is the best flatlander on the scene, but now he produced the best video, too.
