Yesterday, I got a surprise from Alexis Desolneux over at Heresy HQ!
Jigen Omotehara is the latest addition to the Heresy team, that is growing again, that is pretty amazing news in the current climate.
Not only the news, but also a great, short and sweet edit to boot that Heresy and Jijen managed to keep quiet until this release.
Jigen has a unique style and flow to his riding, the edit is around 2:20 long, so this is a easy one to digest.
The line at cross foot crackpacker pivot line at 1:46, had me hitting rewind quite a few times, all of his lines are unique, love the switch pedal 5 footjam and flips steam at 00:35.
Sevisual on the editing skills, nice track, great to see a good riding edit in the middle of summer. Totally not expecting this!
Get used to the name, Jigen Omotehara has a big future, kudos to Heresy for having the foresight to pick him up!

Julien Baran VS Jigen Ometehara: GAME OF BIKE
After Fise Montpellier, Julien Baran met up Jigen Ometehara in Paris, and in between sessions filmed this high level game of bike. This is a fun watch!
Danny Nghieu: Spice of Life
Great to receive this video edit in my inbox, I’ve seen Danny riding on instagram, but watching back to back like this is another ball game. Danny lives out in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and comes from a Flat/street background, as this edit eludes to.
Lots of unique takes on tricks with style to boot, make this one a really interesting watch.
Keep on progressing Danny, and filming, love this!
James White & Johann Chan: Looking for the perfect spot
This was a nice surprise in my inbox, James White and Johann Chan went in search of the perfect flatland spot in South West London this week. Great filming and vibe to this one, and the requested double hang glider at the end is perfect.
Must Watch: Osaka Tour / Yu Katagiri & Friends
Great to see some fresh Yu Katagiri and Takato Moriya footage out of Japan, throw in a TEP posse edit and you know your onto a winner. Great mix in styles between Yu Katagiri, Yuta Watanabe, Sota Watanabe, Kota Ikeda, and Takato Moriya.
Yu’s banger at 1:10 had me hitting the rewind numerous times to work what he did, good mixes in styles between all the riders, short and sweet with Takato finishing their visit to Osaka at 2:53 with more back wheel craziness.
I love to see this out of the Japanese riders, we don’t see enough of these guys on the site!
James White: The Lost Tapes
Johann Chan comes through with another gem from the archives, with James White. Here’s what Johann had to say:
“I was rummaging through my old VHS-C tapes recently and found a tape with JW June 98 written on it. I knew it would be decent if it was footage of James, but what I found was a full session of filming with James at South Bank from 1998, pre-brakless, and before he dropped the scuffing.
Packed with inside scuffing, clockwise, anti-clockwise, rolling both feet. James takes us through a dialled pre-brakeless trickionary on board his Hoffman EP.”

Matthieu Bonnecuelle: Subsistance
Stephane Bar came through with this beautiful edit of Heresy rider, Matthieu Bonnecuelle that deserves your time. Love the creative ideas Matthieu always shares, and theres some good stuff in this edit, the man can ride bikes!
Must Watch: Brandon Fenton/ Lashed Out
The whiplash road of progression in flatland, not many walk the walk.. Brandon Fenton is one of those guys, that’s taken the time to master the skill, commitment and balance point. Offloading a few years worth of variations, there’s numerous examples to highlight.
2:10: Just off a foot jam, how many backwards whiplashes Brandon can do, not to mention spot envy. 10 backwards whiplashes is so hard, backwards bar variation at 3:09 too!
2:44: Opposite side downside whiplashes might be one of the best looking flatland tricks ever, here Brandon makes it look easy…
4:36: Regular backwards whiplashes rebate to opposite backwards whiplashes.
5:30: Opposite whiplashes turbine no scuff to backwards whiplashes.
And many more like I said, the lonely road of whiplash progression seems few and far between in modern day flatland world. Loved this edit Brandon put together, a pure artist unlocking the codes and his technique is on point. Respect!
