Iiniku Jam – Meriken Park / Kobe Japan
Feel the good vibes from Meriken Park in Kobe, Japan as the locals hold a small contest as part of the Iiniku Jam. Great mix of riding styles from the likes of Morishita, Rin, Chiwa, Kein, Tom, Akimitsu, Takumi, Simomura, Yuki, Kenshiro, Gyaos, Soncho, Oni, Keisuke Tanigawa, Russia (who took the win!), Enoyang (backwards kick flip backpacker attempt at 3:06), and so many more riders of all ages and abilities. This is flatland, love these kind of edits! Thank you Kenshiro Ojima for this!

Williams Perez – Flatland Practicas
Williams Perez just put together this dope “Flatland Practicas” edit compiled from some Facebook videos he has recently posted. The two footed turbine mega spin jump to two footed backyard line at the 1:42 is so good, don’t sleep on this one!
James McGraw – Scuffgate 2015
The story of Scuffgate is a tale of broken promises, at Bike Days in Switzerland earlier in the year James made the promise to myself and Michael Sommer to never do a backwards bar ride in a contest ever again, fast forward to Flatark and BITR James admittedly had a broken ankle and brings out the backwards bar ride, even funnier was that Michael was judging at Flatark and both of us at BITR. The joke grew that James can’t keep a promise, now fast forward to James White’s new video! McGraw declares, “I’m never touching the tyre again” (this lasted an hour) much to our amusement! I knew we wouldn’t have to wait long for this edit, but James came through with this nice part “Scuffgate 2015”, and in particular the last switch is so good! It’s going down for real!
Denes Katona – Spring 2010
Denes Katona / Spring 2010 from og pictures on Vimeo.
It was a pleasure at Level Vibes to see rolling god, Denes Katona do his thing! This evening I posted an awesome x-hand one handed whiplash photo of Denes on the FM instagram by Andras Pentak and that made me look through some of his amazing edits. This amazing edit from Spring 2010 stood out to me, whiplash skills to pay the bills! Incredible!
