I have said before and I will no doubt say it again, Denes Katona is a rolling god! Denes just hit me up with his new video which available online for 5 US Dollars, link below to buy! And I have to say this an absolute Must Watch, Denes can do it all! Back to re-watch this one again, great work Denes, go and support him.

This edit/documentary struck a real chord with me, here we have a man at the top of his game, Jean William Prevost and he has the humbleness to say something like, “Hey I am going to show everyone where I came from and how I got to where I am right now”. I always hear people say, what edit would you show people to say, this is flatland. Right now, I would show them this, the mix of narrative insight, amazing editing skills, and the killer riding tick all the boxes. Dub does what he does with great responsibility, and the forklift grabbing the tyre one handed at the 6:01 mark is flat out incredible not to mention everything he does. This is a great addition to the flatland culture, thank you Dub!
Ever wondered what Giannis Caternellis’ riding would be like brakeless, well hit play and check out the latest video. And so far he looks really smooth and way more solid, especially liked the brakeless walkover decade at 3:18!
Marton’s 47 edit from og pictures on Vimeo.
Many years ago I was a 15 year old kid riding flatland at Southsea Skatepark, and a lad a few years older rode into the rink with a really old school style. He introduced himself, hi my name is Marton in broken english. He was in town performing in the Hungarian state circus, and he came back a year later absolutely incredible. We all know what happened after, and I think about the same story each time I see footage of OG Marton. Today Marton celebrates his 47th birthday and I have got to say he is one of the best to ever do it, there is so much depth to what he does, go give this a watch and you will see what I’m talking about. Keep on, keeping on Marton!

This weeks throwback is dedicated to Martti Kuoppa, who would have known that back in 1998 when this Intrikat Linkt video dropped that MK would become a Video contest organiser with Master of Creativity and now it is possible to earn money out of video riding. Many of you will know this legendary section, but nevertheless it is certainly worth rewatching. Loved the Camo theme as well as the riding of course.
I have been featuring riders sections from Dane Beardsley’s “Video Name” project over the last week or os, today it is the turn of New England ripper, Brian Chapman. Skills!
