Must Watch – Lee Musselwhite / BMF
New Years eve 2019 has been a good day for edits. And this new one from Lee Musselwhites strikes the same kind of chord I felt with Matthias Dandois’ “Instagram side of things”. Yes, I have seen some of the footage before via Instagram and Master of Creativity, its however way more impressive when you see the footage altogether as a total package.
Highlights for me from this BMF edit:
00:16: Backwards boomerang to half turbine crackpacker.
00:41: Bar grab one handed backwards no footed backyard pivot out!
00:48: Possibly my favourite of the edit, bar hop 360 body varial to halfpacker. Little dead time, short and sweet. Perfect!
There’s a lot packed into this 1:51 edit from Lee, can Lee now take his original difficult lines from Torquay to the contest floor and break into that elite top bubble of riders in 2020? If this is my last post of the decade, see you on the other side everybody!
Johann Chan – 60 Seconds of 2019
Johann Chan can do it all, flatland, park, mini ramp, vert, concrete bowls, street, and manages to fit in one minute a nice reflective video of 2019. Enjoy this one!
Günter Mats – 29/12/2019
heute 2019/12/29 from Günter MaTs on Vimeo.
Short but very sweet edit from the incredible Günter Mats out of Kyoto, Japan. Love the frame stand backwards squeaker switches and where this line is heading. Didn’t want this one to end, looking forward to more of this in 2020….
Nick Watts – Best of 2019
It’s been an amazing year for flatland, and covering what’s going on throughout the world has been a real pleasure this year. It’s always great to see what is happening all over the globe, and Nick Watts from Australia has been prolific in 2019! Hit play and enjoy his highlights…
Mihály Hajnács – 2019 Flatland Moments
Mihály Hajnács is one of the best HIngrain flatland riders right now from what I have seen this year. 2019 marked the year, Mihály took his front brake off. Flow for days…
James White – Undertaking wet weather
It’s almost the end of the decade, hard to believe. But 2020 is almost upon of us, winter is in full swing here in the UK and that doesn’t stop James White who is dropping his ender from his “Eye of the Tiger” part in the wet. Listen for the sound of the wet shoes on the pegs!
Old School Sundays with John Huddleston
Let’s get back to OSS! Love this run from John Huddleston at the AFA Finals, Kansas in 1988. The way John links things up is absolutely awesome, well worth a watch!
Moreno Valley, CA BS Contest 1994
I’m on a bit of mid school kick at the moment, and really enjoyed watching this Moreno Valley, CA BS Contest 1994 contest footage by mini ramp lord, Kurt Schmidt. Great riding from the likes of Trevor Meyer, Jesse Puente, Sean McKinney, Day Smith, Edgar Plascencia, and Chris Young. If you like watching contest runs, you’ll enjoy this one!
Martti Kuoppa – King of Ground Tokyo 2005
Back to it, after a busy few days at work. Let’s begin our Sunday updates, with this great footage of Martti Kuoopa killing it at the 2005 King of Ground contest in Tokyo, Japan, if my memory serves me right Marrti and Viki Gomez dressed up as Japanese Anime Characters for the contest, awesome!
