MD is a smart rider. He trains crowd pleasing moves. He’s a natural performer. Whether he pulls of a combo or not. Noticed that he psychs up the crowd. A people‘s rider always win the heart of spectators, sponsors and maybe sometimes judges. MK on the other hand has always been known for constantly experimenting new tricks and combo secretly. Many times seemed boring and easy because he pulls them off ever so easily. His moves are not very crowd pleasing and entertaining but the reaction of other riders sealed the deal. Stemlashes x4 at that speed in a competitor. The pressure and distraction would make most riders bail on that trick. MD knows it himself. As a reactive competitive rider, he answers his next run with a move that has his foot on the stem. Both riders are awesome in their own way but flatland has come a long way from just being in a carpark halftime show. Great to be able to watch them on UA-cam for free without needing to buy VHS tapes.
Just a bunch of noobs in the comments, Kuoppa can do pretty much everything Dandois did but Dandois can't do anything Kuoppa did.... Not hating on Dandois he was the reason I started riding flatland.
Matthias landed his 1st 2nd and 4th runs. So saying he didn't land anything is total crap. Plus it doesn't matter how many stem roller whips Martti can do. The flat 540 cab Matthias does at the start will always look waaay fucking cooler.
Marti won because the riders knew that the innovative moves were harder and no one else does them... yet. Matthias is new school vs Marti of old school. Both fun to watch, but innovation always wins out for me. Slow but unique, it's how Kevin Jones pulled the wins back in 88. Mid 90s Kevin was innovating and speedy, which has brought out a lot of what everyone does now. Matthias definitely has speeded up tricks and linked them just as fast. Some tricks just can't be done fast.

Damon Chen facts!

Instablaster...
Martti reminds me of watching Kevin Jones ride, smooth and in control doing the impossible.
Dandois has really speedy and long trick. I don't know how that long trick could be done with such a speed.
He's the best !
Dandois is the best!!!
Holy shit, Chad ...very cool! Awesome competition!
Did I just watch the equivalent of a Ford Taurus beat a Ferrari 458 Italia?
more or less wtf
No, you saw a 1996 McLaren f1 beat a Ferrari 458...
Song at 10:12??! anyone??!
Just cos dandois is fast doesn’t make him better.slow means you have better control
no
That dude screamin in the mic got annoying. Wow, hype overkill!!!
overhypers
matthias is fast but you just can't touch the ground with your feet it's a known fact since the the Trevor Myer/Andrew Farris Era
Experienced riders & fans know why Kuoppa won this contest. He wasn't as flashy as Dandois, but in terms of raw difficulty he won this.
the best. would be alot better with more music less yelling
catfish is too hyped I swear he lives on sunshine and rainbows lol
Marti Legend....
stop with the fucking "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA"!!!!
the slow guy have a move just boring if your a flatlander you will see but for me mattias is the best clean and fast
Who was the dj?
Vou tentar treinar isso na bicicleta para ver se aprendo. Rsrsrsr sou do bmx de rua.
i know martti is a legend but !!!REALLY!!!
exactly wtf
Lester Siliezar yeah don't understand what does he do.... maybe sick...
روووووووووووعه
Martti Kuoppa the legend of flatland and Matthias Dandois the supreme modern power..dandois is better
marti "hard trick style"
For the people who are blind and think Dandois was robbed, he didn't land anything. A trick doesn't count if you don't land it.
Matthias landed his 1st 2nd and 4th runs. So saying he didn't land anything is total crap. Plus it doesn't matter how many stem roller whips Martti can do. The flat 540 cab Matthias does at the start will always look waaay fucking cooler.
wtf you smokin? fucking liar
They need an annoying siren and announcer to tell them they are exited. Freedom to be expressed. This is good muted
Foram muito injustos com Matthias Dandois, pois, se mostrava ser bem melhor que seu adversário...
io divento matto...
...Foram, quis dizer...
Close call but Dandois just wasnt on his game. If he would have landed that massive combo he would have for sure but thats how it goes.
Dandois got robed he was way more impressive and technical..!!! Kuoppa seemed repetitive and almost boring...JS
Nick dandois fell on his face twice
00:05笑顔ステキすぎw
martti legend
ground tactics es muy superior
Catfish..is that you? Lol
Fora injustos com Matias Dandois, todo mundo, a maioria, sabe que essa vitória seria para ele (Matias Dandois).
i dont understand how martti win if dandois is better
+Lester Siliezar - It's like WWE in the US. It's a circus.
+Jesse Buck yeah i can beleive why he win if hes not the best now circus circus jajajajajaja
yes dandois is better....Martti Kuoppa the legend of flatland and Matthias Dandois the supreme modern of flat
because its not a real contest.. its fixed.. my friend was there..
who win?
Martti won
Elihu Peguero No, Martti Kuoppa won Flatark 2015!
+Elihu Peguero In your opinion, I understand that. But according to the jury Martti won, and I guess that is what she wanted to know 😏

0:35 whata cringey doofus
faut peut passer a autre chose matthias , ca fais 10 ans tu fais les meme trick , martti te mange arrete de croire que tes a son niveau
Flat is cool but some of the culture is whack.
the actual culture yes
Mk, slow, boring, simple and just plain nothing exciting!
Maybe slow, boring, and nothing exciting, but certainly not simple. I believe Dandois should've won this battle.
Na verdade quem era pra ter ganho seria Mathias Dandois...
