Sadly print seems to be a thing of the past here in the UK, it is great to see it is still going strong elsewhere in the world especially in Japan! And indeed, York Uno getting the cover is pretty awesome and still a big deal! I’ve been lucky enough to get ahold of some issues of Encounter, they are a great read! Check the contents of this issue:
Rollback boomerang to spinning hitch anyone? Tomáš Vejmola just dropped this super nice move, hit play!

Mates Tuček always comes through with solid edits, and this new Uffo 2015 edit is probably the best I have seen from him this year. Loving the xft backwards hang 5 pivot to half packer around the 1:24 mark. Mates kills the front and back wheel, definitely worth a watch!

To celebrate Bastille Day in France, Jeremy Brosset held a flatland jam near his hometown at a scenic spot in between the mountains with Etienne Giraud, Quentin Pelorson, Aurélien Simile and Jeremy. Good times!
