One of the great stories this year, is the emerging talent from Saudi Arabia! You know the name, or at least you should: Khaled Huerta is on a mission and has been dropping some serious long combo clips already in 2017. Loving his signature full body varial xft ice cream at 00:23, and the link keeps going! Well worth a watch!

Yukipkoproject is fast becoming the man when it comes to high quality flatland edits, and today we have a treat all the way from the land of the rising sun. Yuki just dropped an amazing Toyosu Jam Vol.3 with a whole variety of styles from Seiya Higa (that opening line at 00:18!), Syunsuke Nakamura, Koh Yoshida, Keisuke Maki, Takuya Higa (that pivot at 1:33, wow!), Sakura Kawaguch, Mizuki Takahata, Oomoto Hisashi, Hiroya Morizaki, Yuki Itoh not only a very talented film maker, pivot master in full effect at 2:42!, Masasha Itani gets the last line at 3:41. I suggest you get a cuppa and start your day out right, thank Yuki for this beautiful edit!
New fire from James McGraw today, James documented his best lines from this month all filmed at his work riding spot, aka the Tintadome. There are some nice remixes James has brought back to the forefront in this one, really liked the gliding junkyard pivot peg wheelie to spinning dump/death out at around the 1:46 mark. And the banger at the 2:53 mark is amazing, is scuff gate no more?! Grab a cuppa, and enjoy this one!
I haven’t watched Baco 6 in years, thanks gilson2019 for the upload! New School heads need to grab a cuppa and watch this classic piece of BMX history featuring Chad Degroot, Dylan Worsley and many more. Pure BMX vibes!
