Yesterday, I got a surprise from Alexis Desolneux over at Heresy HQ!
Jigen Omotehara is the latest addition to the Heresy team, that is growing again, that is pretty amazing news in the current climate.
Not only the news, but also a great, short and sweet edit to boot that Heresy and Jijen managed to keep quiet until this release.
Jigen has a unique style and flow to his riding, the edit is around 2:20 long, so this is a easy one to digest.
The line at cross foot crackpacker pivot line at 1:46, had me hitting rewind quite a few times, all of his lines are unique, love the switch pedal 5 footjam and flips steam at 00:35.
Sevisual on the editing skills, nice track, great to see a good riding edit in the middle of summer. Totally not expecting this!
Get used to the name, Jigen Omotehara has a big future, kudos to Heresy for having the foresight to pick him up!
Well deserved, and so glad to have him onboard!! And what an entry edit!!
First edit that has held my attention in a long time, great style
So much style !
Great tricks !
What a talent !
Jigen going for longer lines , even using/ welcoming tire bonks- saves…… to prolong the lines …..that already made me a fan of his riding two years ago. Now with these unique variations he’s using , even in contests and in this edit ……all of this just rules. Stoked he’s on the Heresy BMX roster. I dig their entire team , vibe and core BMX expression. His jam -180 pressure twitch via switch pedal five , cross Macintosh step to x-leg crack packer -unwind hang ten to quick step switch to steam.All these creative hammer -jib lines are so rad…….the half hiker pivot to x-leg half packer is also done with crazy steez. Jigen blends right in with the Heresy BMX team freestyle movement . This crew sure knows how to pick candidates to enforce their already awesome team. They’re like Blut Aus Norde ( epic band that transcends all extreme Metal genres. ) Thank , Big-E …..looks like another strong contender for edit of 2025…. or breakthrough rider of 2025 in the Flatmattersonline.com awards. Must Watch edit ……times 7.
Can’t forget about Sevisual…… whose created some of the best ,original BMX edits for years and years……..and years. Tom Sevisual ,thank you. Another of the many edits that will stand up decades from today.
Well deserved! Very happy about this. Thanks Alexis! Well done Jigen! I’ll pass through soon, but no bike.
