I got my first sponsorship ever from Jason Hassell, OG UK Hutch team rider, super smooth at flatland and ramp riding back in the day. Check out his run from the 1986 Cardiff UKBFA National. Jason now resides in Australia for anyone curious.

Must Watch! Viki Gomez – Something in the Way
something on the way.. from Viki Gomez on Vimeo.
“Creativity is a blessing, it is my life! This “unfinished” project have been filmed from January 2015 until August 2015, trying to find a new me, trying to go out of my comfort zone and trying to be different. When I go my own way I feel free.These are moments that I want to share and give to Flatland. It is infinity! The search never ends, it feels infinity when you search! Keep the search..this is life!”
Viki Gomez has been talking about working towards this edit at the last few contests I saw him at this year. Stacking up so many amazing clips to make a 9:35 long video that had me gripped to the screen and hitting rewind on the first watch.
A few moments that stood out to me that I wanted to share:
1:04 – Two footed dump truck to backwards xft ice cream half turbine body varial to two footed dump truck pivot back to backwards xft ice cream shove it x over opposite xft ice cream to opposite forward rope on pedal pivot xft time machine! One of the best combos of 2015 so far!
4:25 – xft boomerang two foot guillotine pivot to crack.
7:10 – pedal five line into xft spinning circle k on the pedal.
The list could go on…
Viki is at the top of his game, managing to juggle the lifestyle of travelling as Red Bull athlete always at the airport to the next show, winning contests and producing video parts like this, an absolute must watch edit that has made a rainy day in Southsea not so bad! Thank you Viki!
