We don’t even get a day into 2026, and already a Must Watch edit?! Heresy’s Jigen Omotehara is one of the new generation in Japan making waves, with unique riding style and trick selection as he gets ready for the New Season.
The x-ft half hiker pivot to half packer line at 2:17 is next level, magical pivotry skills going here that I have never seen before and had me hitting the rewind several times to understand what he did.
Loved Jigen’s right hand half packer turbines backwards half packer pivot to backwards switch foot Karl line at 2:45. So smooth and so tech!
And the ender at 3:56 is another NBD, opposite whiplash to full turbine switch foot pedal 5 turbine ending backwards switch foot pedal 5 jump to regular side steam, too good.
Nice jazzy hip hop vibes fit Jigen’s style really well, starting the year with a Must watch. 2026 is going to be a good one!!
Amazing! That last line was massive!
That flow was gorgeous. Agreed on that last line. It was very satisfying and mind blowing.
Where do I start ? FIRST of all I’ve dug his riding since him riding wearing that ” Dolan hat ” , doing his jam/pressure flips via steams , tire bonking/ saving his lines to make them LONGER lines ….back in 2022 @ a Saga No Run contest. THEN …..last year , him pushing to do LONGER lines @ a Chimera event ( his line was a contender for line of 2024 . )………and NOW all this hard as calculus , technical , powerful, switch , flowing , original tricks AND variations that he’s doing these days………. that I never know where or how he’s going to go , pivot , or switch while he’s just ” breezing ” through these lines of his. I’m ecstatic over his riding , going for LONGER lines ……and his degree of difficulty is really humbling for cats like myself , haha….Jigen is getting BMX Flatland SLLLLLAAAAAMMMED on his bike. I’ve watched this edit since the day it dropped, multiple times. I’ll say this now……this edit will be a contender for edit of 2026. Heresy picked up a rad rider , times 7……….MUST WATCH , gracias for catching this edit , E !! Everything Effraim said about this edit……I second , third …..and seventh those statements , haha…
