Throwback Thursdays – Mazar Kadri – Flatland 2007-2011
When this video reappeared the other day as a result of the Joe Cicman – Double Jaffa whip rebate video I had this in mind for a Throwback (ref: Lee Musselwhite’s comment). We first posted this back in 2011, Mazar had to stop riding due to having some elbow/shoulder/wrist/back problems. Mazar’s creative riding will never be forgotten and particularly the no handed crack step over no handed whip half packer banger at 3:28. Incredible bike control, and I still don’t think it has been done to this day! Respect!
Tokyo Car Jump and KOG Kobe – BMX Flatland – Diversion Video Magazine 6.0 (part 6)
Bobby Carter over at Diversion TV breaks down this weeks DTV Retrospective for you:
“You never know what you’re going to run into when you are in Japan. We caught up with Shotaro Teshigahara as he jumps his custom car at an intersection in Tokyo. Then we head down to Kobe for KOG where Ucchie wins first place pro riding on the front wheel!
Watch it!”

It’s not quite Throwback Thursdays yet, but what the hell this was ten years ago! Check out this edit of TJ throwing down some nice circle k/halfpacker switches in a tight looking garage spot, the rain and the mood set by the music and shot choice add to this. Hit play!

Bobby breaks down this weeks Diversion TV Retrospective for you!
“Japan has all sorts of night spots. So riding all night is no problem. In Okayama, Japan the main night spot is Shirochika. Yuji Oota and his crew go off in this underground flatland spot. The other main spot is next to a sports arena above ground…..check it!
Extra Trivia: Hiroshi Uehara found this Shirochika spot back in the day!”

Japan – The Underground Surfaces – Diversion video Mag. 6.0 (part 5)
From Malaysia we head back to Japan this week. With so many riders, all sorts of underground riders come to the surface killing it. In this section Donky (Fumiaki Okayama) and Tsutomu Kitayama throw down some sick moves. Tsutomu told Bobby Carter the last trick is the only time he ever pulled this move on video. Don’t miss it!
Contest of Love – 1995
Original footage from Twenty Inch Video Magazine from the Contest of Love contest in February 1995! Killer footage of the likes of Trevor Meyer (check the line at 2:34!), Chad Degroot, Phil Dolan, a rare appearance from Ice Money, Day Smith, and many more! More of a throwback than old school sundays material but worth a post nevertheless. Thanks to Jffe for this one!
