Must Watch: Sean Fontenot / Escapes

I am catching up on edits after a busy summer season at my work, and boy do we get a treat here. Two years in the making, battling countless ACL injuries (reference the 2 ACL supports!) and Sean Fontenot comes through with a beautiful edit with a whole bunch of NBD’s. Sean is one of the most vocal guys in our scene, but he can back it up with incredible bike skills and creativity. Let’s discuss this one in the comments!

Johann Chan: 60 Second #RideEverything edit 2021

Our art director Johann Chan, got down to business for the Ride On BMX annual comp. The man can do it all, whether it’s front wheel, back wheel flatland, messiahs on park/street, trails, skateparks, even more impressive that he threw all this down in a one minute edit. Nice track to boot, great way to start the day!!

Cory Fester: Create Don’t Imitate / Episode 3 Grizzly Jam

Joey Kyllo is doing great things over in Vancouver, Canada. And today I am really stoked to post this edit with Cory dropping some knowledge, over to Joey!

“For this episode we met up with Cory Fester in Edmonton, Alberta. Cory has been underground for a while now but is still riding and progressing. We talked with him about his creative process and the video part he has been filming for the last TEN years. There will be a follow up on the Hang 5 podcast to get into more detail, so check that out as well when it comes out.
I hope you enjoy this episode. One more planned that should be pretty awesome…”

Edit wise the flatland world has been quiet for a while, and then BOOM! We have been blessed with two must watch edits in a week. And boy, is this a treat from arguably the most progressive flatland team worldwide.
New footage from George Manos, Matthieu Bonnecuelle, Michael Husser, Alexis Desolneux, Sebastian Grubinger, and Peter Olsen in a mixtape format put together by Sevisual.
It’s a winner, I will digesting this one for a while.

Viki Gomez / RISE from Viki Gomez on Vimeo.

It’s been a while since a Must Watch edit on the site, Viki Gomez just came through with this amazing “Rise” edit put together by Sevisual. Viki’s depth of skill, and variety is just absolutely amazing, this was filmed in two months!!
Some of you will have seen some of the footage on instagram, but there is some unseen footage to add some extra spice..

That ender…. rather than a heavy trick description. Let’s discuss this one in the comments section…
