It’s another good day for edits! It is always a treat to see Jody Temple ride, and thankfully Jody recovered from his back injury that plagued him for the last year or so. There aren’t too many riders riding two front brakes anymore, Jody works this to full advantage, Jody kills multiple hang five bar flip variations but perhaps my favourite was the opposite xft hang five bar flip to bars backwards hang five one handed whip out at 2:07! Well worth a watch for sure!

Sebastian Grubinger – Exile

EXILE from HERESY BMX on Vimeo.

Early in 2016, Sebastian Grubinger’s riding spot was shutdown due to construction work. A white wall was left with a small strip of asphalt left. Sebastian makes full use of tis small space, and as a result his back wheel riding has improved no end! Especially liked the xft ice cream walk around to two footed dump at 00:47, the backwards manual on the top tube at 00:58, and my favourite the ice cream walk around to backwards two footed backyard. Although it sucks of course that Sebastian lost his full riding spot, he’s made the best of a bad situation. I took a lot out of this, and perhaps you will to!
