Congratulations to Jean Wiliam Prevost who took the win at the IOKC Coontest this weekend in Indonesia. Here’s what Dub had to say about the win:

“It will be a total of 11 flights, 2 x 5 hours on the road in Indo and some killer jet lag to be able to say I won my fourth @ioxcindonesia on my fifth trip to Indonesia 🇮🇩 2017 . Did it come easy? Hell no! 2.@toonflat and
3.@taslemraziff are top world flatland athletes from Thaïland and Malaysia. Always a treat. Toon also got Best Trick contest with Stemrang bodyvarial to inside halfpack! Congrats guys! See you in Japan!”

Must Watch – Quentin Pelorson / XTen

Nice simple concept for this new amazing edit out of Quentin Pelorson, who celebrates ten years of riding with ten xft tricks. But as you can see by the Must Watch tag it is so much more than just ten xft tricks that doesn’t do this justice. So here is a break down of a couple lines that stood out for me:

– No handed xft hang ten turbine at 00:47, never seen that done before.

– No handed inside karl steam pivot spinning xft crackpacker turbine pivot spinning hang ten line at 3:45 is unreal and so clean.

– And the banger line at 4:39, xft halfpacker turbine round the back to xft halfpacker other side, I have talked about this one for years, never seen it done! Wow, mind blown. Flatland just went up a few notches, thanks to Quentin Pelorson. Happy ten years anniversary Quentin!

Must Watch – Joris Bretagnolles and the story behind the two footed pedal caboose stubble duck

The news of Joris Bretagnolles pulling this new banger, two footed pedal caboose stubble duck broke a week or so ago, now you get too see how it went down for the first time. With subtitles for all the english speaking people, this is different than my usual Must watch tag. But as I always say, they are no rules to getting the tag just a feeling I get when I watch the video. This video struck a different chord with me, great to see the background to it, 8 years in the making! Go watch it and congratulations Joris!

One of the most prolific riders on instagram is Heresy’s Sebastian Grubinger. Always fresh content, some that I feel is too good for instagram and more edit worthy. Sebastian just put this edit together over the past two weeks whilst he has been sick at home of his clips from July to Septmeber, enjoy!
