Gerry Smith Rochester 89 from Doses on Vimeo.
Rochester 1989! Gerry Smith is this weeks Old School Sundays. So much style and flow to his riding, the rollback to forward rope to decade at 2:33 is unreal! Hyped on this! I miss the days of people hacking into tricks.
Ok yesterday as you might have listened, I did part of the Red Bull Circle of Balance livefeed commentary with this guy, Dennis McCoy! My childhood hero, who brought so much energy and hard tricks to flatland for the time I’ve posted this before, but I don’t care. This feels the perfect time to watch it again! This is one of my favourite videos of all time! Just watch it, feel the energy! The opening backwards whiplash to funky chicken is amazing now!
Great footage from Hardcore Radness Part 2, I must have watched this hundreds of times back in the day. Great riding from the Clawson brothers, Pete Brandt, Danny Meng, Ross Smith, Josh Marsele, Perry Mervar and many others. Enjoy!
Adam put together this edit during a solo session at the infamous OG parking garage, enjoy!
Bit of a repost, but I cannot resist with it being the King of Southsea weekend! Check these runs from James White and myself from KOC 1995!
Ohio AFA King of Flatland run 1988 from FLATLAND BMX on Vimeo.
Amazing run from Steve Mulder, Ohio AFA King of Flatland run 1988. Listen to the energy of that crowd! Check the quad hang-glider and death truck attempt at the end which for many was the first time many saw the death truck live. Thanks to jffe for sending this one in!
Amazing run from the 1988 AFA Velodrome contest! Dropping not only a flawless run, but dropping game changing tricks, the forward rolling trick concept (one handed hang 5), the Dump truck, gliding locomotive, there may well be no one else to ever have the impact on flatland like Kevin has! Today when you ride, think about how many of his tricks you do….
Rich Upjohn – KOF – September 1989 from kchapman on Vimeo.
More from the King of Flatland era, Rich Upjohn of course is still riding, such a distinctive style. Listen to the crowd when he rides out of the death truck. The king of flatland series is a good example of what regular contests can do for your scene.
Tommy Simpson – KOF – September 1989 from kchapman on Vimeo.
