Bryan Huffman – 45

To celebrate Bryan Huffman’s 45th birthday, Bryan worked on and documented some trick ideas he has had in his head for a while, and included trick names to boot. Especially liked the final

On October 1st, I decided to work on some trick ideas that have been in my head for a while until my 45th birthday on October 31st. Not the most difficult combos or tricks, just little ideas that have been in my head for awhile. Especially liked the no handed pumping junkyard at 3:36, and the back peg jump direct to gliding gerator at $:02, a trick Bryan calls the “Stripper Love Jump”. Awesome! Happy Birthday Bryan!

Some jam news in from Ryan Russell this morning for the Cali scene, December 4th at the Vans Skatepark in Orange, California with a view to be a contest in the future. Here’s what Ryan had to say:

“Ryan Guettler is having a BMX contest at the Vans Park in Orange. He hit me up because he wants to include flatland there. He said just a jam makes sense for this first one. So just wanted to let you guys see the flyer and know the date.
I’m still working on details with Guettler, but it would be cool to have some flat influence there.
He’s hoping this will be an annual event, that gets bigger and bigger and that’ll include every style of riding.”

The level went up several notches for the final round of the 2016 Master of Creativity contest, so amazing to see every rider push their level, and ultimately bring a whole bunch of new tricks to flatland! Here is the 13th through till 6th place edit Martti Kuoppa just put together, so proud to be involved in this amazing event for flatland that has without a doubt brought the most progressive riding of the year out and motivated us all! Respect to everyone!!

Must Watch Paul Osicka footage @nora cup awards presenting Viki Gomez Rider of the Year

Stop what you are doing!!!

There was a rumour that flatland legend, Paul Osicka dropped a little part whilst he presented the award for flatlander of the year at the Nora Cup awards in Las Vegas. Well that rumour is true, and from the 00:53 mark you get a real treat with some fresh Osicka footage, the spinning nose wheelie at 1:17 is off the chart, style for miles! Respect!!!
