"Giba" Session Flatland BMX 2015 from Gilberto Rocha on Vimeo.
Smooth hang ten to xft half packer line from Brazilian shredder, Gilberto Rocha. Hit play for this quick clip.
I’ve been waiting on this one and it doesn’t disappoint! At an hour thirty long, grab a cuppa when you have some spare time to kill. Adam 22 as always hosts with special guest Bobby Carter helping out also, you do not get to hear much from Simon so this is a rare interview. Discussions go from how Simon got started, to the solitude life of a flatlander, trips to USA and Europe, his love for Mexican food, his flatland spot in his yard, solo dvds, contest tricks vs bangers, his brake set up, having arguably the most viewed web video of all time, and probably of most interest to me how did having a stroke effect Simon’s riding and much more besides. Well worth your time to sit down and learn more about one of the best flatlanders ever!
Luis dos Santos, Sergio “Balu” and Ricardo “Alemão” made the trip to Kobe, Japan to compete in the Flatark competition and Luis documented their whole experience. Part 3 of their trip covers the semi final and final battles, award ceremony plus the after party. Enjoy!
Quentin Pelorson shows a lil’ behind the scenes action from the making of Flatland Tricky, his new how-to app is due out shortly.
Charlotte Worthington just dropped the official UK Flatland BMX Championships edit, featuring the likes of Martti Kuoppa, Matthias Dandois, Alex Jumelin, James White, Keelan Phillips, Jason Forde, Steve Green and more. Enjoy!
For this weeks throwback we go back to that one time Chad Johnston invited Justin Miller and Pete Brandt to Long Beach, California for a video project. Chad was working on a system where every trick had a value and set out to score these two riders combos taking into number of attempts, errors, etc. Check out the edited version right here!
Coasting two pedal ice cream one handed is no joke. George Kikos revisits a trick he learnt around 8 months ago, hit play to watch this one!
David Szabo just dropped this nice November 2015 progression edit, the former Masterclass World Champion made some good progress on both wheels. Enjoyed the tricks and the autumn vibes in this one!
Naoto Tamaru hit me with some late news on a flatland contest he is holding this coming Monday at the Trinity Skatepark to celebrate their 2nd year anniversary. Here is what he had to say, translated from the above video:
‘I’m Naoto, I organized A-TRICK and it is TRINITY 2nd anniversary too.
I want to tell you why I’m organized it.
When I started BMX, I didn’t have a You Tube, Facebook like a SNS.
But when I entered contest, always I met new ppl and see what they do, what they think.
It was help for my motivate and my progress.
Recently, I’m in world contest sometimes I did good run, sometimes bad run but it is no matter because after contest I progressed and got motivate from them.
Now we have a SNS what really good for us. because we could see whole world and what they do all the time but sometimes we don’t know each other, we don’t see each face, we don’t talk each other.
So I want them to enter the any contest or come any contest because we can meet each other, see face, talk, make a new friends or new rival and get motivated.
It is help for us absolutely.
This time, I’m making 16inch class and 20inch low class, these is more kinda fun, I want them to feel contest is fun!
And one more class is 20inch high.
This is kinda open or Pro class.
Winner will get 100000 japanese yen(about 810$)
I want them to be great or hard trick because I want to show what we could do with BMX, what pro riders do and give motivate for kids, beginners and amateur riders.
It is local contest but I’m trying to keep this contest every year.
I’m waiting see everyone at A-TRICK.
A-TRICK supported by ARES BIKES.
SEE YOU SOON EVERYONE! ‘
Naoto Tamaru.
