Oh, how I love surprises running the Flatmattersonline website. And yesterday, when my phone started blowing up I knew something good just dropped from Dez Maarsen.
There’s something Dez touched on in his description that made me say out loud “yeah!”, he chose to document his riding over the last few months and rather than throw out line by line on social media, he put it together in edit form.
So much depth in this edit, from who in my opinion is one of the most skilled riders in the flatland scene right now, Dez can handle business front and back wheel.
Great camera angles, and the editing is on point too, edits in my opinion can help inspire and grow flatland grow again in my opinion, and help give us all motivation as we lean into the winter months.
Let’s talk about the riding Effraim!
The Must Watch concept for me, is something as simple as something that makes me hit the rewind button, and quite a few times I hit the rewind button watching “Riding Days”.
The line at 1:53, steam backwards spinning crack step over one footed backwards spinning half packer pivot inside foot steam pivot spinning hitch is one of the most technical lines I’ve seen all year.
2:47: only a move I’ve seen Hiroya Morizaki do, opposite steam step into half packer pivot inside switch foot spinning steam at the blink of the eye then out to straight line opposite backwards switch foot Karl!
I like how Dez mixes, all styles of riding, which of course you can with one of the most vast tricktionarys in the game, this is one of the best edits of the year so far.
I could ramble on, but let’s as I say grab a cuppa and talk about this one, share this one on your socials nd let’s grow flatland!
Thank you Dez!
