Review: Landscapes 3

Review: Effraim.

I am sure I write this every time I review a video, I feel it’s important to say it without trying to sound like a broken record. It really is a brave move to make an online video these days, especially if you are charging for it online. It’s quite common in skateboarding, but hasn’t filtered over to flatland really.
Landscapes 3 comes in at 1 hour 12 minutes long, I can’t even imagine how much working time that is for the creator, Stewart Munro putting all the pieces together, selecting riders going back and forth with riders gathering footage, picking the music to fit each rider, the list goes on.

Forget What You Heard from Diversion TV on Vimeo.

We live in an era where social media makes seeing daily BMX videos easy. So we set out to do something that wasn’t just a flash in the pan Instagram clip or quick YouTube video. Something that all the riders really took their time to film.

The goal was to present something that had a wide variety of styles and personalities from riders who don’t normally release full parts often, if at all. We attempted to create a certain vibe from start to finish. Something different than what you are used to seeing.

Forget what you heard…

A film by Steven Lapsley. Featuring full sections by Ahmed Johnson, Gurvan Le Bloc’h, Hirokazu Miura, Jérémy Brosset, Joris Bretagnolles, Mateus Beckmann, Naoto Tamaru, Rodolphe Clavelier and Yorihisa Shiota.

The Top 20 Riders in Brazil!

A nice treat today from Brazil, Daniel known to his friends as “Sansão” got in contact with this Top 20 riders from Brazil edit that he helped select along with most of the Brazilian scene. There is so much good riding in this one from the likes of Leo Claro, Mateus Beckmann, Marcos de Jesus (that two footed front death half whip to fire hydrant at
4:19 is so good!), Bruno Zebu, Balu, and many many more shredders from a scene we don’t hear enough about! This is worth your attention!
