As I still celebrate 16 years of Flatmattersonline, it was awesome this morning to get a message from Dan Hennig showing me his new edit. Beautiful quality, camera angles and sharp editing, and plenty of bangers I have never seen before.
From the opening Perverted Rolaid at 00:19 I was intrigued on this one, so great to see Dan visit a forgotten move it feels like, you don’t see many cross foot pedal steams anymore, and Dan unlocks the vault at the 2:01 with a nice cross foot pedal steam to half cab 3’s which he cleans up (I was waiting for the scooter rollback) and it’s not there, to steep decade out to pedals, great line! Worth noting here there’s a big difference in execution with a steep brakeless decade, and one where the front wheel is almost on the floor.
At the 4:00 mark the fakie whooper to brakeless turn bucket to pedals is so clean, loved this one! The camera angles and locations also, I found really cool, he didn’t film any of this edit in his indoor spot, so this feels a little special and well thought out.
Great to see Dan dig a little deeper outside of his contest routine, especially at the 6:08 mark, and the inside ice cream bikeflip to pedals half cab whopper, pure beast, and the final plastic man line mixed in cross pedal steam to half cab 3’s back into half cab to xft steam and ending with regular pedal steam, is solid!
Great work Dan, a man thats battled cancer and has come out swinging. This edit has elevated Dan’s riding and that’s what edits and filming video parts are all about. I’ll be back to watch this one again, stoked!!
