Danny Nghieu: Relentless Change

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Ok, I definitely spoke far too quickly. Danny Nghieu just dropped a full part on Christmas Day full of creative ideas that I really enjoyed and I’m sure you will do to, I first became aware of Dan’s riding on IG. This year he’s already thrown in a FM exclusive on IG to get the exclusives rolling again, and come through with this amazing part. Keep at it Dan!

Here’s what Dan had to say:

This video represents some of the different kinds of riding I did in 2025. Most of it was filmed between April and December.
I rode the same bike frame throughout but pretty much changed every other part at some point. It was fun to experiment with different setups, putting on brakes, switching between freecoaster and cassette, and even going pegless for a few months just because I was lazy.

Off the bike, 2025 was an intense year. Coming into it, my wife and I were devastated by the loss of our old dog. We had also just adopted a puppy. I had been diagnosed with a cognitive disorder that was wreaking havoc on my personal life. I managed to passed the Professional Engineering exam in July on the first attempt, a huge milestone for my career. Relationships and friends came and went, but amidst the relentless changes, BMX has somehow remained steadfast.

To be honest, it is difficult to sort out the words that can accurately describe the hate, love, pain and suffering that goes on behind the riding. Despite the turmoil and pain, I am grateful. Looking back, I smile at the progression of my riding and the ideas that I’ve come up with.

I hope you enjoy this video. Please share it and show it to your friends and family.

I hope that somehow the magic of BMX freestyle shines through and inspires you or someone you know to ride their bike in a creative way.

Freestyle for Life

Special thanks to my wife for her unwavering support.

Thanks,

Must Watch: Cory Fester / Under the Radar

Posted on by — 14 Comments ↓

What a month for flatland video parts, and it continues right here with a beautiful concept. Cory Fester last released video was his “16 days” part, and today Monday 22nd December marks 16 years.

At 21 minutes long filmed between 2009-2025 there is a lot to take in here, it’s fully time to grab a cuppa and enjoy Cory go all in and get the dream combos on his list.(check the end of the video!)
If you know Cory, he does not mess around, and besides the obvious hammers that are going to have everyone talking.

I loved some of the subtles, the backwards tea kettle turbine to forwards at 8:45, the genius of the can-can ride in to backwards half packer at 10:18.
The double hanglider lines, into hang 5 at 10:33 and hitchhiker at 17:15.
And the last section that starts at 17:00, the opposite flail body varial to backwards half packer at 20:34!

Big respect Cory, this is one hell of a project! Let’s talk about this one!!

Must Watch: Akihiko Takahashi / Rewind 25 years Riding

Must Watch season continues with this absolute belter from Japanese flatland lifer, Akihiko Takahashi who celebrates 25 years of riding.
If you don’t already this guy is one of the best in the backwards game, there are some mindmelters packed into 5:59, which is definitely a contender for the hardest stuff done this year.

Must Watch: Austin Luberda / Some Things Never Change

Posted on by — 8 Comments ↓

It is funny how somethings work out, yesterday I was having a conversation about flatland in the USA. And we talked about Austin Luberda, and I wondered what he was up to, having seen a little glimpse of him at the Aggro Jam in St Louis that I posted yesterday.

This morning I got my answer, Austin and his wife have been busy welcoming a new born baby into the world in September. Congratulations to you both.

Today we have this amazing new edit from Austin, with a couple of new moves he has been dreaming about, I especially loved the development of his signature can-can style pedal junkyard move at (1:07, 1:50, 4:23 and the ender around 4:50), that you can leads to other moves like the multiple opposite forward pedal g-roll turbines jump to pedal time machine at 2:48.

Throw in the opposite backwards spin stubble duck at 3:18, with that smooth flow state Austin is renowned for. Some things never change, and long may that continue!
Loved the old footage of Austin shredding his GT back in the day mixed in with the modern day, great feel to this edit, editing on point, music fits, camera work, it’s all here!

It’s officially “Must Watch season”, loving this, thank you Austin!

Ross Smith: 2010s

Posted on by — 10 Comments ↓

Golden footage from the archives around the 2010 period, from one of the best to ever do it. Non other than Ross South, double rolaids, check, double straddle-ronis, check, backwards xft-ed hitch jugglers, its all here! Ross is one of the masters of feathering the brake, a technique sadly lost and overlooked in the brakeless era!
