It’s been a couple of weeks since the X-Games in Chiba, Japan! I had a couple of clips left on my phone from practise, from two days of filming during practise. Featuring the winner Kio Hayakawa, Terry Adams, Moto Sasaki, Yohei Uchino, and alternate Yu Katagiri who didn’t get to compete sadly.

Great compilation with Scottish shredder, Scott MacDonald. Scott was massively underrated back in the 80’s on the UK contest season, hit play to see what I am talking about!
It’s been a while since I published an Old School Sunday post, so let’s break that pattern with this amazing creativity from Ian Clemens, 1988 AFA in Wayne, New Jersey! So good to this day!
Great edit featuring the top 5 ranked in Chimera A Side series, with the likes of Takahiro Ikeda, Yu Shoji, Ryo Katagiri (that ice cream pivot move at 2:25 is beautiful!), Hiroya Morizaki, and the winner Yu Katagiri (look out for his line of the year move once again!
Amazing skills from the Japanese scene, well worth a watch!
It’s a good start to 2022! The Jeep Real Games final show just dropped a few days ago, with Yohei Uchino once again at the helm. Congratulations to Hiroya Morizaki taking the win for the second year in a row followed by Viki Gomez, and Naoto Tamaru.
The flatland segment starts at 33:30, don’t miss this!!!
Looking forward to grabbing a cuppa and watching this one, always entertaining to watch and listen to the guys discuss the riding.
“2021 DownUnderGround, the Australian BMX flatland championships number 13 was a video only contest due to travel restriction within Australia. This made organizing a national contest problematic. For whatever reason the number of riders who entered was smaller than past years even though the concept was changed this year so riders could submit multiple clips in their video up to 2 ½ minutes. We did get two new riders entered into the beginner class that we have not seen in an Australian flatland competition, this was super rad. As we did for last year we invited the judges, Paul Chamberlain and Joe Cicman and James McGraw, to offer commentary, competition run reviews and general banter on the final video.”
One of the best feelings in flatland, is when you work so hard for a contest and it comes together for you. IGI rider, Joris Bretagnolles threw down the run of his life in the BITR Pro Qualifying this past week. Feel the energy and stoke in this one, amazing!
