When this video reappeared the other day as a result of the Joe Cicman – Double Jaffa whip rebate video I had this in mind for a Throwback (ref: Lee Musselwhite’s comment). We first posted this back in 2011, Mazar had to stop riding due to having some elbow/shoulder/wrist/back problems. Mazar’s creative riding will never be forgotten and particularly the no handed crack step over no handed whip half packer banger at 3:28. Incredible bike control, and I still don’t think it has been done to this day! Respect!
Wow!
Wow #2
WOW #3

never saw this back then. yoda level of jedi trickionary.
This was a surprise to see this morning.
After this video I had taken a break from riding for almost 1 or 2 years (I would ride sporadically in that time period).
I’d gotten sick of being perpetually broke and injured obsessing over the flatland lifestyle ( riding 6-7 hours almost every day )
My right ankle was really wrecked and most of my joints were in a lot of pain. I got a job – saved up some money- did some physiotherapy etc.
I’ve begun riding again seriously for the past 5-6 months.
I’ve changed my riding style now to a more back-to-the-basics approach. Trying to making tricks more energy efficient and less strenuous.
I have more of a “perfect circle philosophy” with my tricks now. At the moment it’s not good enough to film but I’m progressing every session.
Anyways, This is pretty motivating.
Cheers everyone]

I saw this vid posted in the comments of Joe ‘s vid, I was so impressed I emailed it to Effraim and asked him to post it!
The whole edit is amazing its looks like a constant build up of skill to that epic No handed whiplash in front of the bars.
True artistry on a personal mission.
Stoked to hear you riding again Mazar 😉
Great minds think a like Lee, i only just saw the email 🙂 but was already going to post it! Great to hear you are riding again Mazar!
I watched this video in 2011 but then never found it …
was on flatmatters mateus 🙂
Great to see this on here. Very cool the circumstance of this being reposted because of the comments on jaffa rebate. Discussions leading to more discussions. I brought up sam foakes and mazar as inspirations/pioneers of no handed pinch technique i applied to whiplash. Creative and groundbreaking stuff. That unfortunately has not been pursued further
Mazar! You wrote: Trying to making tricks more energy efficient and less strenuous.”
Very powerful post! You gave me something to think about while nursing a back injury. At my age, and with my levels of responsibility, I only ride on average a few hours a week. Finding more ‘energy efficient and less strenuous’ ways of doing tricks or tricks themselves made a lot of sense. Welcome back to the scene by the way.
Thanks!
Holy shit, don’t remember seeing this before, love this style
Thanks Lee Musselwhite and everyone else for the kind words.
Cheers, Keep riding and progressing.
Yes Mazar! A true artist. I was always so impressed with the determination he had to push his way only. Respect!
