Giannis Caternellis – Freestyler #69

And we continue on, it is always a good day when Giannis Caternellis drops a new edit! A great start to the week here on FM, as is the norm with Giannis all types of styles thrown in the mix including hopping in this 69th episode in his freestyler series. I especially liked the steam halfpacker using the tyre instead of the seat line at 3:53. Here’s what Giannis had to say about the video:

“My brother from another mother Rodney Williams took notice the other day, the songjack I did in the Amateur of Creativity edit a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to do another songjack of this great flatland film. Amazing riding from Penonzek, Puente, Stephen Cerra and many more! A must watch film, thank you Rodney for the inspiration.”
