Throwback Thursdays with Yu Katagiri
With so many edits dropping each year, it is so easy to overlook edits in the flatland scene and just in general actually. My following post is about a photoshoot with Yu and Ryo Katagiri, Naoto Tamaru at the Flatpark, and that reminded me with the exception of the Sensual video there really has been much of Yu Katagiri on the site.
For this weeks TBT, let’s go back to his amazing edit from 2018, hit play and get stoked and this kids talent….
Underground BMX Sessions
Feels like a minute, since the last edit I published from Lachlan Cameron. Rad to see Lachlan and Brandon Fenton, and the crew over in the Toronto area have a underground spot for the winter.
Decade of Flatland: 2010/2020 / Part 3
Intro/Article: Effraim.
Photos: Veren Luka, Sevisual, Albero Moya, other photographers unknown.
I have had a great response to the first couple of parts to this Decade of Flatland article I have been sharing over the past of couple of weeks whether comments on the site or private messages. This week for Part 3, I catch up with Heresy rider and the man that made coin the phrase “Too good for instagram” Sebastian Grubinger, the godfather of UK Flatland, James White, and the current Women’s UCI World Champion Irina Sadovnik. It’s great and refreshing for my perspective to hear all the different viewpoints on the state of modern day flatland. Grab a cuppa, and enjoy this one!
Pegruary Qualifying: IGIFLATBMX Instagram Contest
Dub and the IGI Flat BMX crew have been putting in work! If you are not on instagram, you are in for a treat watching the top 13 qualifiers not 12 (there was a tie). If the qualfying clips are anything to go by, the finals are going to go off!! Thanks to Dub for sharing this for everyone that isn’t on instagram. Congratulations once again to Owen Bohn taking the win….
Must Watch: Jean William Prevost / NO MAN’S LAND
Dub was out in Valencia, Spain a couple of weeks ago, and made great use of time riding at one of the most picturesque riding spots I have ever seen. It’s felt like a while since a “Must Watch” edit on the site, and Dub well and truly breaks down the firewall.
Great editing, and the music by Movenchy really compliments his amazing riding. Ah yes the riding…. everything is a standout in this one. But, in particular the ender I am sure will be a contender for line of the year already, and it’s still February.
The spinning inside switch-b undertaker to pedal junkyard turbine line that begins around 1:29, just keeps getting more and more complex, and I especially loved the details of the drop down from pedal junkyard to right footed peg wheelie with no sketch at all, and then line builds again. I am sure we will all be watching this one over and over, edit of the year so far without a doubt! Thanks Dub for this belter! Today is a good day!
Winter Jam in Toulouse
Plenty of content to get you pumped for the weekend flatland sessions, Max Cassagne sent in this rad Winter Jam edit from Toulouse, France featuring Matthieu Bonnecuelle, Kevin Jacob, Joachim Sontag, Stephane Suini, Renaud Laspeyres & Maxime Cassagne. Enjoy!
2020 One Love Jam edit
The official One Love Jam edit just dropped, and it’s a banger! Good vibes and great riding from the biggest jam in flatland at the legendary elementary school riding spot in Newport Beach, California. Hit play, and get stoked!
One Love Jam 2020 Trailer
Darin Wright just came through with the trailer for the up and coming full edit from the epic 2020 One Love Jam a few weeks back. This one is short and easy on the eye, and flows good! Looking forward to the full version…
Flatland Fugitives
Great to see this Flatland Fugitive video resurface again, the influential flatland crew from Los Angeles helped inspire everyone in the flatland community during the 90’s and their influence can still be felt today. If you haven’t seen this one, well worth a watch with great riding from the likes of Day Smith, Sean Peters, Nate Hanson, Edgar and Ivan Plascenia, Sean McKinney, Leo Dumlao, Andrew Arroyo, Jesse Puente, Richard Zabzdyr (R.I.P), and more…
