George Manos: DORSOFPERSEPS

DORSOFPERSEPS from George Manos on Vimeo.

It’s a good start to the week on Flatmattersonline. So many edits, to get your teeth into this morning and get hyped for your session today. George Manos is one of the most creative riders on the planet and works some interesting ideas in this “DORSOFPERSEPS” edit.
Especially liked the no handed switch foot 5 turbine move going on 1:10, and the Body English going on at 1:21, so rad!

9 year old Patrik pulls his first Decade

Congratulations to 9 year old Patrik, who is one of Rob Alton’s students out in Hungary. Rob tells all below, enjoy the video!

“9 year old Patrik pulls his first Decade!!!

Patrik joins the very few kids under 10 years old around the world who can do this trick! After more than 1000 tries over 13 days he got it & 3 more!

In this video you can join him during his last battle to finally get it with more than 200 tries! This is the last part not the long version!

It takes hard work, patience, determination, concentration and believing you can do it. At just 9 years old this an amazing attitude, RESPECT to you Patrik!”

Terry Adams: Practicing his final run and studying body scan technique

Behind the scenes Martti Kuoppa continues to train and coach hard with this team, this particular video with Terry is really interesting. Martti explains all:

“It is a common problem among riders that the nervousness troubles so much that the run that had been practiced properly at home just does not work out during the moment when it counts, in the competition.
I have been working very hard with Terry (and many other riders too) to understand more on a deeper level how to ride well even in the middle of the worst nervousness hits.

During this video call Terry adapted a body scan meditation technique into the moment he felt most nervous, right before that long combo. And he landed that combo without any problems.

All these mind techniques work the similar way as practicing actual tricks on the bike: You exercise with your mind and you´ll learn. You exercise with your mind everyday,
you´ll learn more. And so on.”

Must Watch: James White / Bring the Terror

Time and time again, James White is bang on the money. And once again, hits the jackpot right here with this amazing “Bring the Terror edit”. Bringing back child hood memories with the UK hip hip group, “Hijack”, not only quality riding that you come to expect from Whiteski, but also really good editing, and camerawork that enhances the riding clips.
James’ riding is “on point” like always, and in this edit he furthers the concepts he displayed in his last full edit “eye of the tiger” in 2019.
If I had to pick a standout clip, it would be the stalled switch foot lawnmower to undertaker out at 00:45, wow!
Let’s discuss this one in the comments section….
