Loving these parts dropping over the last week from Benjamin Hudson, the man from Chile blessed with one of the best styles in the game. The pinky squeak step over stuff in this edit is not only so hard brakeless, but he does it all so clean. Respect!!

Must Watch: Benjamin Hudson / It’s Ok Part 1
Benjamin Hudson has been been off the grid for a while now. One of the best styles in the flatland game, and today that changes and we have a short but very sweet “It’s ok” part 1 to get you motivated for your winter session. The standout for me is the switch foot pedal 5 line where he crosses over to the other side around the 1:05 mark. Thank you Benjamin and IGI for this treat!!
Must Watch: Giannis Caternellis / Freestyler #120
120 Freestyler edits from the prolific Giannis Caternellis, this one kept through the system until now. What a treat from Giannis, that opening line is absolutely bonkers in difficulty level alone, and made me ponder a question I would like to ask the flatland community. If a rider is doing a combination of tricks that no one else touches yet its been done before in parts but combo’ed differently. Is that original?
The backpacker jump to hitch and then one footed hitch at around the 3:15 mark is ridiculous and its a good case in point. So much take in here, a definite Must Watch for your Sunday feed!
Must Watch: Matthieu Bonnecuelle / 23/7/22
Two Must Watch edits in the same day, I am playing catch up well and truly. One of the most interesting riders in the game right now, Matthieu Bonnecuelle filmed this one in a day and there are so many refreshing ideas to take in and get inspired by.
Must Watch: Juan Niebles / Best of Montreal
Juan Niebles comes through with an amazing new edit that everyone needs to watch, the forward death truck walkover lines are ridiculous, if I had to pick a stand out the line at 4:54 is beautiful and so hard! I’ll be watching this one again and again…
Must Watch: Lee Musselwhite / BANE
I can’t remember the last time we had a Must Watch edit that dropped exclusively on the site. Lee Musselwhite comes through with this short and banging new BANE edit, with series of NBD’s that you want to be watching on repeat. This is a treat, thanks Lee for sharing!
Must Watch: Viki Gomez / Rise 5
To coincide with the annual BMX day, Viki Gomez just dropped Rise 5. What would Viki follow up his award winning video with from last year, this year… There are so many complex gems in this one, working his titanium bike to its full potential.
Standouts:
2:54 Forward death truck turbine line switching out opposite side.
3:35: Line of the edit for me, watching this one on repeat. The exit is beautiful.
4:55 Two footed turbine backyard line, so much style and body English.
6:15 Ice Cream bike flip out peg wheelie hop to xft steam!
There’s a lot of great stuff in this great edit put together by Sevisual. Happy BMX day everyone! Thanks Viki and Sevisual for this treat!
Must Watch: Ahmed Johnson / Eureka
A lot of back wheel riding currently looks very similar, not that that’s a bad thing. Ahmed Johnson’s riding hits differently, the way this man appears to walk around the bike stepping side to side with so much style is incredible to watch. Love the line at 1:23, and the opposite F truck at the Spot in Redondo Beach at 2:26!!

Must Watch: James White / Searching for Bisseker
So much to love about this new edit from James White, from the creative riding style that asks the question, is this flatland or street? the no handed pedal slide at 2:15 I have never seen before, this edit just flat out made me smile. And reminded me that BMX is fun, and James looks like he’s having the most fun out and about in London. Not to mention a classic Gunshot track to boot. Go watch this one, and get there riding and creating!
