How to Spinning Dumptruck – Can you make it! Episode 20 w/ Matthias Dandois & Benjamin Hudson

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Benjamin Hudson and Matthias Dandois teach you how to spinning dump truck in episode 20 of the Can you make it series. For me this is the original peg time machine, and a spinning dump truck is subtly different, holding the fork and the bars are turned and spinning one handed in a caboose position, body weight more forward. But the tricks and techniques shown here are very similar. Enjoy this one, great to see the series back! Good work Matthias and Benjamin.

Bert Ribul teams up with film maker, Dmitri Shushuyev to bring us this new cinematic “Beyond Perception” edit. Enjoy!

“beyond perception is the exploration of oneself. the strive towards success clouds our visions at times and we forget the simple of things like love. love towards other people, love towards the things we enjoy the most in life, but most of all love towards ourselves. we are always worried how we are going to start heading into the right direction and where we are headed. in the wise words of Jim Carrey “You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world”. never forget this.”
