Must Watch – Benjamin Hudson / Done Deal
Done Deal from IGI BMX on Vimeo.
On September 5th 2014, I published Benjamin Hudson’s amazing Welcome to Far East Cycles part, which announced him to the flatland world. Over the last four years we have all watched Benjamin grow into one of the most stylish flatlanders on the planet and in terms of being light footed on the bike I don’t think anyone else comes close.
From 2014 to 2018, Benjamin Hudson spent some time in Budapest, Hungary working on this “Done Deal” edit with the equally talented Tom @ Sevisual. The style of Tom’s filming, editing, music choice compliment Benjamin’s riding perfectly, like all Must Watch edits I like to highlight my favourite parts and talk in some detail about what’s going on.
1:09: Direct jump from regular riding position to inside craving x-ft steam xft Karl position not touching seat x-ft fire turbine bar scoot to full bar bunnyhop exit! Absolutely perfect execution.
1:27: Direct jump from regular riding position to McCircle turbine foot jam body varial to two footed front yard shove it two footed x-fted front yard pivot to inside Karl position jump to pedals out, so much steeze. I keep thinking back to his breakout video as mentioned above, and the layers that are now apparent in his riding to be at this level right now.
2:07: The longest line of the video, and the flow in this, the style, everything about this just brought a smile to my face. I wish I didn’t have to go to work today for 12 hours, E just wants to go and ride.
2:58: Saving the best till last, hands backward nose manual to fire hydrant turbines bar scoot fire turbine jump bar into tea kettle (never seen this switch before!) to x-ft pumping halfpacker pivot whiplash to jump lash x-ft inside steam into xft hang ten pivot crackpacker (no touching the seat in any of this by the way- think about that!) half whip to two footed front yard pivot xft steam (he’s still going!) foot jam jump pedals out!
Wow!
Absolute instant classic with the collaboration of Benjamin “Benji Benji” Hudson and Tom at Sevisual, the last two Must Watch edits in my opinion some up modern day progressive flatland really well right now. Go watch this, drop Benji and Tom a comment and show some love. This is beautiful!

Giannis Caternellis – Freestyler #90
Elephant glide into a wall push off the wall, backwards backpacker and out backwards. Giannis Caternellis is always full of surprises, hit play for the 90th episode. Yes 90th episode in his freestyler series!
Brian Tunney – Heaven is earth
Heaven is earth from briantunney on Vimeo.
From the opening half hiker to one handed ankle death, I was gripped to this new edit from the ever smooth Brian Tunney. Standout for me personally is the bar spinning g-roll line around the 2:55 mark. Don’t sleep on this one, thanks for sharing Brian.
Cory Fester – Garage Sessions
garage sessions from cory fester on Vimeo.
When I posted the Cory Fester 16 days throwback a couple of weeks ago, I was not expecting to see a visual response but it looks like it’s kick started something within Cory. It is not often I say this anymore, Cory is like one of those ultimate video riders dudes, and like the 16 Days edit he used this “garage sessions” edit to get himself back up to speed. The rumour mill has been going for the past few weeks about Cory sitting on footage for 8 years, I can’t even imagine what he is sitting on, but what almost stokes me out the most is he has a riding spot for the winter. Like a fine wine Cory, take your time buddy and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with for this solo video part. This edit builds and builds as you see his skills improving with each clip, I love the last line a remix of Michael Sommer’s infamous back peg varial to half hiker, Cory puts his own flavour on it. Cory stole the internet today, respect!
BMX USJ Local – pedal tricks
2018 07 Pedal tricks from bmx_usj_local on Vimeo.
Not the best quality in this new edit out of the rider known as “BMX USJ Local”, some nice pedal 5 forward and backward variations, and a can can nose to finish is really sweet! I can’t ID the rider so if anyone knows please comment and will update post.
Nick Watts – 27th July
It’s a welcome rainy day here in Southsea, hitting the rewind on this new Nick Watts edit. The opposite switch foot gerator caboose stubble duck move at 00:35 is so good, hell yes Nick!
Giannis Caternellis – Freestyler #89
The show goes on for Giannis Caternellis, the trick machine keeps going with his freestyler series. Really liked the one footed grinding hitchhiker flip undertaker to switch foot steam with a scuff to boot. Go watch this, lot of diversity in styles…
The LAND Game : BMX FLATLAND MATCH OFF at the Vancouver JAM 2018
LAND Game from IGI BMX on Vimeo.
Ever played a game of BIKE and struggled to get the game truly flowing, because every rider does different tricks. This might well be the answer, I watched this one the whole way through and really enjoyed this. Dub explains this one, get your buddies together and have some fun!
“Basically tired of the BIKE game and went looking for a solution for something better adapted to the multitudes of styles involved in BMX Flatland. The name is “The LANDing GAME”
RULES :
1 – We each take turns doing tricks
2 – The goal is to LAND a trick, if you don’t land you get a letter.
3 – You get only one try to land and 2 tries on your last letter.
4 – You can’t repeat or do one trick the same way if it’s already been done for the duration of the game.
5 – Though you can do more whiplashes or whips than have been done previously in the game.
6 – Any trick is accepted no matter the level of cheesiness or how easy it is.
7 – When the number of letters agreed upon at the beginning of the game you are OUT!
8 – Use LAND if you are many and LANDING if only a few riders.
9 – Last man standing wins!
I might have forgotten a rule or two, just agree with your buddies as to how to run your game based on these guidelines! ENJOY!!!!”
