Must Watch – Hidenori Ishizaki ZAI12

Hidenori Ishizaki just published his part from Akira Okamura’s Zai 12! Many of you voted Hidenori for Breakthrough Rider of the year in the 2016 Flatmattersonline Rider of Year awards, many of us are familiar with his name because of the Master of Creativity contest. As almost always with “Must Watch” edits, every combo is a highlight! Hidenori is really pushing different concepts based around the backwards facing two footed backyard, sit down and enjoy this sunday treat!

-The opening line at 0:11, that ends with a two footed backyard to opposite side gliding gerator to opposite degroot undertaker out.

-Two footed backyard turbine to backwards backyard body varial to xft peg wheelie line at keeps flowing at around the 0:55.

– Xft pedal backwards facing manual at 1:31, can’t even imagine how hard this is!

– And probably my favourite line of the edit at 1:46, gliding dump pivot xft ice cream body varial dump truck opposite side out to opposite backwards lawn mower and out!

– At 2:06 Xft backwards facing backyard half bar hop decade out!

– 2:21 one hand one footed backwards facing backyard, arms of steel!

Jay Marley: Best & Worst of 2016 BMX from Jay Marley on Vimeo.

Nice to see the face behind the annual Tampa flatland jam today, peep this new edit out of Jay Marley.

Here’s what he had to say about the edit:

“The last few years, riding Flatland basically became my coping mechanism for watching my dear Mother slowly fade away, now it’s my therapy in mourning her loss, so my first ever BMX mixtape is dedicated to her…
special thanks to Kip, Tyler Gilliard & Danny Gomes for the clips! and a million thanks to Adam Guild for putting it all together…
i hope each & every one of you have a Happy & Prosperous New Year in 2017, Ride On!”
