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!

The first Must Watch edit of 2022, and it’s no surprise it comes from Jimalog’s latest!
What it must be like to be blessed with what certainly looks like one of the best flatland scenes in the world, great riding spot, variety of tricks on show, riders supporting each other, the list goes on. Whatever you like, it’s here!
Great riding from Akihiko Takahashi, Masashi Itani, Yu Shoji (don’t miss his clips!),
Takahiro Ikeda, Shuichi Osada, Kazuma Nakajima, Takuji Kasahara, Nariaki Kudo,
Hidenori Ishizaki, Takahiro Enoki, Shinichiro Hara and Hiroya Matsumoto.
Yu Shoji’s clips stand out in this one, not to mention it is so good to see some fresh Shuichi Osada footage!

Must Watch: Viki Gomez / Rise 3
Viki Gomez / RISE 3 from Viki Gomez on Vimeo.
It’s been a quiet few weeks as we get into the festive season. Viki Gomez changed all that with this amazing new “Rise 3” put together by Sevisual. Viki showcases arguably the biggest tricktionary in the game, everything Viki does is amazing, but the standouts for me in this one:
2:56: Bike flip line that just develops as the line goes on, more and more tech, that x-ft ice cream body varial takes the cake for me, beautiful!
4:43: Steam Kickflip to halfpacker which is a Viki staple move, watch the new ride out!
Don’t sleep on this one…..
Must Watch: Brandon Derbowka / The Mad Scientist
Brandon Derbowka is infamous for dropping some of the hardest tricks ever done, most famously the multiple no handed whiplashes will without a doubt go down in the history books and be talked about for years to come i’m sure. Joey Kylio got together with Brandon during the summer to put together this amazing insight his thought process, and how he progresses on certain moves. You don’t want to miss this one!
