Francois over at Hang 5 Podcast just dropped episode 43 with Japanese powerhouse, Yu Shoji!
“For this episode, I sat down with a 22 years old Japanese shredder taking the contest scene by storm. He is the 2023 pro flatland champion and currently sitting in 3rd place in this year’s ranking. He calls Moto Sasaki his mentor. Rides both front and backwheel. Does a whole bunch of crazy jumps. He is a ball of energy and yet shows a high level of maturity. This is a bit of a short episode taped while we were in Montreal for Urban Games in late March. I give you Mr Yu Shoji.”
The Head Angle BMX podcast is a nw one to me, and perhaps you at home too. Who better to interview on a podcast than one of the most interesting BMX lifers in the game to this day, Dennis McCoy! Thanks for the shoutout on this one D, grab a cuppa and enjoy this one!
Episode 42 of the Hang 5 Podcast just dropped with one of the raddest dudes in the game, over to Francois and his guest… Dan Hennig.
“For this episode, we go to the old continent and the neutral country of Switzerland where our guest has settled down. Originally from Germany, he has been riding for over 20 years. A fixture of the Euro scene, he is also attending most of the World cups events. Working part time, riding full time. We discuss his roots, his journey, his approach to competitions, living healthy, having a private riding spots, his views on the sport, what the future has in store for him and so much more. I truly enjoyed discussing with Mr Dan Hennig.”
Brant Moore caught up with Terry Adams a few days ago to talk about the newly created ABFL, being on Red Bull for 20 years, his daily regime, setting up Majide BMX and much more. Good to see Brant featuring flatlanders on his channel.
“If there is one event you do not want to miss on the Flatland BMX calendar, it is One Love Jam! Held every January during the Martin Luther King long weekend in Newport Beach California, it attracts every generation of riders from near and far. All eager to escape the dreadful winter and shred a cool spot on the beach with the homies. I asked long time organiser Darin Wright a few questions about the jam and proceeded to ask a few riders what they think of the jam. Enjoy!”
Today it’s the turn of Julien Baran on the Hang 5 Podcast hot seat. Julian is a young flatland prodigy from Normandy, France taking on the contest scene by storm.
