24 years ? damn, almost 1/4 century… he pulled that one in U.K if I’m not wrong, that’s amazing. Recall watching that flair on GO the riders manual and later on VHS lol. Effraim made it more than once on that mag !
@obscure – That is amazing. I never knew he was a flatlander.I know he rode flatland… In bonus trivia, that was me filming in mansfield when Mat pulled the flair 🙂 Kevin Martin asked me to film whilst he mc’ed…
you could say he’s a modern day version of what many of us were in the 80’s- most rode flat and vert – not all could get the height and style but many did stand out on both-dmc,moliterno,wilkerson, hassell,brown, andy reardon,etc..
tricks have changed with the times though….top stuff.
I love Ivans riding and think it’s great he is so versatile. Is he the first Flatlander to do flairs? How about Dave Mirra? How about Jay Miron?
@Mike – Amazing, if not the first certainly in the modern day that is actively competing and putting out solid flatland parts.
1st flatlander that can actually air rather than just do jibs, just don’t happen normally does it..
True! I was just being an old ass…
Love this kid’s bmxing. That’s what we called it back in the day when we rode everything. Great kid just frigging great!
thats amazing to know the disciplines at that level.
kills it!
Killing it like Dennis McCoy , that video as a real Banger , I think everyone was to see a part 2 .
Effraim,
Matt Hoffman was a Flatlander, and the first person to do a flair 24 years ago.
