Varo Hernandez: Welcome to Flybikes
As I mentioned on the FM awards show, Breakthrough Rider of 2021 Varo Hernandez was working on a Welcome to Flybikes edit with Rafael Black and this doesn’t disappoint. Great riding with signature Varo smoothness, nice mix of locations, and quality filming and editing. Loving the last line at the 3:08, which takes unexpected twist. Great watch!

Rodney Williams is on fire with his new lighter ride set up, and just came through with a bunch of short clips. Three minutes seems short after Rodney dropped that two hour line! Much respect Rodney, keep on documenting, sharing and most importantly progressing!
