KTGM Jam Summer 2014

Olivér Kállai just sent in this amazing KTGM Jam edit, filmed in Budapest, Hungary during the summer. Great riding from the likes of Pal Gyenes, Oliver Kallai, Gabor Szmetanko, Denes Katona and many more. Highlights on the first watch were Oliver’s nose wheelie multiple whiplashes line at the 2:38 is amazing, and Denes Katona drops an ridiculous xft jumplash xft hitch juggler line at the 5:50 mark, but theres a ton more from a whole heap of riders and styles. This is a good watch!

Aleksi Ritsilä’s “TSB14” part from Julius on Vimeo.

Aleksi’s TSB14 section has just been released online, Aleksi had this to say: “In 2012, I made a decision to fully revamp my riding and leave my old tricks behind to explore a new style.
We filmed this part with Julius during 2013, and though I feel I just started this new journey in bmx,
I´m happy to bring you this: no pumps, “pedal to pedal”, simplistic flatland style, with some sketchy street riding.As I continue this pursuit of new expressions in bmx, I find my motivation for riding at an all-time high. Thank You & Ride on!”. Hit the link below to watch the full video:

Last years Flatmatters Online Editorial Choice for Rider of the Year and Readers Choice for Most Progressive Rider came through with an amazing edit for his Awards Interview! And by the looks of it right now he is continuing his personal progression at an amazing rate! There is so much to rave about, but the backwards manual whopper out at 1:07 and the hang five pivot xft steam pivot circle k at 1:40 is incredible! Continue reading
