Kotaro Tanaka – King of Ground 2003 Asakusa
The Asakusa KOG contests are legendary in flatland, lucky enough I can say I have been to this venue and the crowd was amazing not to mentioning of the fastest floors ever. Quick clip here of Kotaro Tanaka working the crowd.

Throwback Thursdays with Leo Claro
Following Leo Claro’s amazing “Third Floor” part this week, this weeks TBT is a no brainer. Let’s go back to 2009 and Leo’s mind melting “Pegless” part, the inside rolling variations to pedal steam turbines that begin from the 00:33 mark still blow my mind to this day. Timeless flatland!
Must Watch – Matthieu Bonnecuelle & George Manos / Biface
BIFACE from HERESY BMX on Vimeo.
The Heresy team are full of surprises, and today we got something beautiful to add to the artform archives. This ticks a very different box in terms of a “Must Watch” edit, where this is more about two of the most creative riders in the flatland game interacting with each other in a combined space. Performance Art at its finest. Go watch this and enjoy…
“BIFACE is a raw experiment filmed in October 2019 around Narbonne (France).
Without carrying any particular meaning, the video came out like a primitive tool to shape a new form : a choreographic video mostly composed with BMX riding language.”
