Sietse van Berkel – Jungle Rider 2016

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I’m a big fan of Sietse van Berkel’s riding, so I was stoked to wake up this sunday morning to a fresh “Junglerider 2016” edit from the man himself filmed over the summer and autumn period. Especially liked the two footed front yard turbine pendulum line around the 1:17 mark, but much more than that the way Sietse moves around the bike in effortless fashion is so great to see. Thanks for sharing with the flatland world, Sietse!

Steve Bisseker – London 1992

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I have said it many times before many times before here on Flatmattersonline. Steve Bisseker’s is one of the unsung heroes in the BMX world, hit play for some cutting edge flatland riding from 1992 including his foot on the bar cliff in a straight line, and his signature bar flip ride in to all manners of dump truck variations. This guy could blast 8ft on ramp too, commentary by Lincoln Blacksley.

Brian Tunney – Austin, Texas 2016

Stoked today to come across a fresh new edit out of Brian Tunney, here’s what Brian had to say:

“In January of 2015, I moved to Austin, Texas from Redondo Beach, California and decided that I should eventually get around to filming a new video. My dear friend Stew Johnson volunteered his time and effort and skills, and together, slowly but surely, we amassed enough footage to put together something I was happy with. I then DM’d Patrick Kindlon of Self Defense Family to see if we could make sweet, beautiful love together (I.E. use their song) and he said 100% use it. With help from a clip filmed by Robin Fenlon in Newport Beach, we spent the day after Thanksgiving 2016 sitting in Stew’s office and came up with the following. I owe dear thanks to so many people for pushing me to keep going on this bizarre BMX journey for over 30 years now, and this is dedicated to each and every one of them. Thanks for watching a 42-year-old no one…”

Must Watch – George Manos / Nlight

Posted on by — 12 Comments ↓

Following George Manos amazing final entry for the Master of Creativity contest, I was kind of thinking he may take some downtime before releasing anything new. How wrong I could be?!!. George’s riding takes a massive leap forward here for me where you can see him developing longer links whilst riding pegless and also his backwards facing nose manual lines, my personal favourite standouts in this latest “Nlight” edit:

The xft pedal 5 line at 00:34, the footwork is amazing, drooling over this one!

No handed backwards facing nose manual to no footed crackpacker at 1:13.

Backwards facing g-turn nose manual at 1:29.

The footwork in the line at 1:36, just amazing!

Double footed spinning backwards facing nose manual at 1:52!

And the banger line, Foot jam whip to no handed grouching pedal xft five line at 1:59 finishes off this creative masterpiece off nicely! Thanks for sharing this George, an absolutely incredible level of creative riding!

Till the wheels fall off from James McGraw on Vimeo.

Michael Steingraeber & James McGraw got in one last session at the Tintadome before Michael was due to fly back to Germany, as it turns out this may not be Michael’s session as Lufthansa are currently on strike. Good vibes and a lot of screaming as you would expect from James McGraw, especially liked the forward karl round the back right hand side halfpacker (and also change direction) opposite circle k to opposite body varial out!
