One of the greatest to ever touch a 20 inch BMX bike, Chad Johnston killed it in this 5 year Intrikat Foreground edit captured through the X Trials/X Games era which of course included flatland and Andrew was a massive part of, bringing new tricks to every event. Worth a watch still to this day!

Throwback Thursdays with Akihiko Takahashi
For this weeks throwback we go back to the summer of 2012 with the underrated Akihiko Takahashi! So much good stuff in this edit, I could highlight the whole edit but the last line that begins around the 3:07 mark that begins with a backwards frame stand fork wheelie to backwards crackpacker stood out to me watching this back again! Well worth giving this one a rewatch, so many amazing combos!
Throwback Thursdays with James White
It’s a quiet day at the moment at FM HQ! Let’s go back to April 2009, when James White dropped this “How-to Pinky Squeak” edit with some amazing forward death truck walk arounds and regular death truck walkarounds in this, it’s definitely worth a watch!
All on the lightest flatland bike I think I have ever picked up, in related news: Myself and James will be working on a podcast in March to discuss his editorial winning edit, and of course a long overdue interview with the godfather! Stay tuned here on FM!
