2018 07 Pedal tricks from bmx_usj_local on Vimeo.
Not the best quality in this new edit out of the rider known as “BMX USJ Local”, some nice pedal 5 forward and backward variations, and a can can nose to finish is really sweet! I can’t ID the rider so if anyone knows please comment and will update post.

Round 1 of the 2018 UK Flatland Championships took place last weekend in Margate, Kent. Margate is a seaside town about an hour and half from central London for all of you reading this outside of the UK. Matti Hemmings once again is the man behind making the event happen, this year a different location and a better set up. Dreamlands, an amusement park smack on Margate seafront which somewhat bizarrely to me, goes in land rather than out towards the sea, two years ago we sat on the seafront having fish n chips after the Wheels and Finns festival and wondered what Dreamlands was. A great use of space and in terms of planning, this place is epic. You wouldn’t know this amusement park was even there, if you drive along the seafront road.
Shawn White of Bizhouse fame came through with the full runs from the AFA Round 3 in Huntington Beach, California! Just over two hours of unedited contest footage, you can watch the top three runs listed below with the timings:
Jean William Prevost: 157:45.
Matthias Dandois:139:15
Pete Brandt: 127:46
Absolute no brainer for some Old School Sunday love today, the AFA returned to California this weekend and Pete Brandt got third in the Pro Class with a flawless first run. If you didn’t already know Pete has been in the game for years, check out this run from the 1989 AFA Masters in LA! Nothing but respect for this dude!
Waking up this morning to my social media full of the AFA contest series returning to California. Congratulations to Jean William Prevost who took first place followed by Matthias Dandois and Nor Cal flatland legend Pete Brandt rounding out the podium. Ed Jolie took the win in Expert, Robert Castillo took the Olds Cool class and Alex Lim first place in Novice. Great to see a flatland event return to its home, California with the Chairman, Martin Aparijo handing out the trophies.
