Rodney Williams drops a Two Hour Combo!

If you thought Rodney Williams dropping a ten minute combo was a big deal, think again! After a year of trying, Rodney just threw down what is arguably the longest combo ever done that I am aware of in the history of BMX flatland. This close tow hours long, holy shit!! Amazing stamina, concentration and mindset to get this done. More power to Rodney Williams!!

    • I’m sure hoping it is ! Thank you , Joe Kickass ! I would be STOKED to get a Guinness World record , been chasing long combos since 1999 ! Jason Brown r.i.p , Effraim Catlow , Andrew Arroyo , Nathan Penonzek , etc ,etc……them and loads of others really inspired / motivated me to ride this way !

        • Hey , Melodie ! I just caught your comment yesterday . So good to hear from you . Remember Roland ? We were just recently talking about those sessions the last time I saw and rode bikes with him with all the other school riders . Those were super rad times riding , bikes , hanging out in New Braunfels with you , Shane , Mike , David , etc….rad sessions , lots of laughter , and jamming out to music ! Thank you for the words , amiga ! Those were the days for sure …..

    • Hahahaha , cheers O.G. Ripper = Amos Burke ! Thanks , campeon ……the fact that you’ve BEEN shredding @ ALL disciplines of BMX is SICK , TIMES 7 ! What I wouldn’t give to be able to do your 1996 left cross stick-b to spinning ice cream , switch to inside circle right cross stick -b link , bruv ! I love your past AND current combos !

    • Thank you , Mr. BACKWARDS crack , half and side packer MASTER ! Haha…..I fought the burning calves from 1999 to 2005 , haha…you’re preaching to the choir ! ( meaning , I totally get / agree with what you’re saying ! ) I’m just picking up copying Effraim’s ” Parade ” video section link from EARLY freaking 1997 ! 1997 ! Damn I WISH and would PAY for A N Y O N E to upload THAT video part online !!

    • Thank you , Jason ! I appreciate it ! Shout out to Jason Brown r.i.p. , his section in his video ” 5 Combos ” that video was a MAJOR eye / mind opener for me to start obsessing , and relentlessly chasing long combos !

    • Hahaha , no Tristan ……..just a combination of JESUS , praying , some older video section from 1996-1998 ( Jason Brown r.i.p. , Andrew Arroyo , Effraim ” Big -E ” Catlow , Nathan Penonzek , etc ,etc .) and ALOT of trial and even MORE error , TIMES 7 !!

    • WOW ….THAT means ALOT coming from a rider who is literally one of the MOST skilled , talented and BEST BMX Flatland riders to EVER grace a bicycle ! ( TOP TEN list in my opinion , OVER 100 edits of all ORIGINAL , DIFFICULT , DIFFERENT , PROGRESSIVE combos …….OVER 100 !! ) Thank you , KING Caternellis ! I am beyond honored , campeon !!

    • I appreciate the love , Sieste !! STILL bugging out over one of the most SICK moves ever created……….your signature NO handed , spinning , STEM / FRAME stance -side packer !!! All your move are just MENTAL !! That’s WHY you won M.O.C !!

  1. Incredible Rodney!
    Your stamina and ability to remain focus are really next level.
    I couldn’t think that this could be possible before watching you,
    congrats again Rodney for this edit / movie?.. 🙂

    • Thank you , TIMES 7 Renaud ! Honestly man……..I’m letting JESUS do the work as far as focusing ! Relentlessly chasing and failing and chasing long combos…. since 1999 helped with stamina , haha. It’s totally possible just watch older video sections of Jason Brown r.i.p. ” 5 Combos ” , Effraim Catlow , ” Parade ” or Andrew Arroyo ” Sick Part 2 ” , even Nathan Penonzek’s 1998 and 1999 Oceanside , California X-Trials Finals run ( You Tube ) ! I’m just pushing where they all left off , haha…..to be TOTALLY honest , Renaud …….all of the more new school type of tricks , variations , combos , that riders like YOU and others do……..to me ….THAT’S the HAAARD stuff , for real ! Thank you ,again Renaud !! You’re a RIPPER yourself and I’m REALLY looking forward to some video of YOU online !!!!

    • Whoa , didn’t realize that Fred ! THAT really stokes me , even more so being that those two classic / timeless films are some of my all time favorites ( Rob ” Tex ” Thayer once caught me almost getting misty eyed while ” Break the ice ” was playing in his car on the way to a riding session here in San Antonio , back in October of 2003 , haha.. ) Those two films are as RAD as it gets ( pun intended ) ! Thank you , Fred , I’m just having some fun repping that 1994 through 1998 style , haha…..( Paul Osicka also had a dope, long link in his Bio during his 1994 Props BMX video magazine interview ! I watched him and also…Nate Hanson take Cobains to their limit , twitching , bar flipping them into just about ANY position / trick . I peep gamed SO damn hard watching their video section’s in ” Ring the gack ” and ” Release the grease ” !!! ) There’s LOADS of riders whose long link style I got influence from , making this combo possible !!

  2. THANK YOU , Effraim ” Big-E ” Catlow / Jim McKay and of course …FLATMATTERSONLINE.COM for the love , support !! Ya’ll have no idea just how MUCH I appreciate the support , amigos ! THANK YOU !!!

  3. I would’ve been completely freaked to see a 30 minute or hour long combo, but 2 F@CKING HOURS? Rodney you know me and I don’t usually drops F bombs but F@CK MAN! Really? This definitely deserves some recognition on a Guiness level somehow, someway by someone dammit! Wow! Just wow! I think I did a minute combo one time in my life and it felt like forever I couldn’t imagine the focus required for this! Flat brothers for life you and I Rodney! – Huck –

    • Damn …..THANK YOU for the love , Huck !! Honestly man……as far as focus , and I’m being completely honest . It involved ALOT of praying and orchestration from JESUS being that I’m not very confident on my bike or in life for that matter .( I’ll sketch a trick , twitch ,bar flip or variation that I’ve been doing since freaking 1994 , haha. I second , third and fourth guess myself , like 24-7 , no joke / b.s. ! ) Now that being said I AIN’T NO SAINT , FAR FROM IT …..BUT I do talk / chat with him on the regular . Also ….MUSIC helps to sometime before or during a session ! ( Funeral Doom , Slam Death Metal are my go-to jams these days …heavy , groovy and just RAD tunes !! ) Guinness World Records ?! THAT would be nice …….we’ll see ! ( I know countless BMXers who have got in ! ) Bruuuuuv , your comment REALLY makes my morning , Huck , TIMES 7…….YOU KNOW IT , FLAT BROTHERS 4 LIFE !! I’ve looked up to YOUR riding since first noticing that you SLLLLAAAAAMMM DOWN switch wheelchairs to crack packers , SWITCHING YOUR HANDS to roll the crack packer …..then SWITCHING THEM BACK to the wheelchair , then keep the link going strong ! Technical , HARD details like THAT are WHY I watch that one long combo that you pulled during Finals @ the 2006 Flatland Voodoo Jam ! ( Mickey Gaido’s D.V.D. about the entire contest , experience ! ) You’ve always been a MAJOR staple in the TEXAS BMX Flatland scene , campeon . Being one of the , if not the FIRST to get MULTIPLE turbine hang fives , switch hand steam ( bars BIG ! ) butter slip / whip -step around to side packer , and LOADS of other switches , transitions within your combos ! Your baby blue Ares Force frames time era…….I would do anything to be able to do ALL THAT STUFF that you have forgot about and moved on from , haha ! You’re a HEAVY hitter , not to mention progressing the BMX industry with HUCK BMX Products ! ( even JESSE PUENTE rides YOUR parts !! ) I REALLY appreciate the love , Huck and I’ll be in touch soon , maybe cruise down to H-Town to session with you and Art , Marty , Andrew , Hector , Elias !! Can’t forget you’re ALSO an EXCELLENT rapper ! STILL got your album !! Also ……shout out to Jason Brown , r.i.p. ( HUGE inspiration for this combo , his link in ” 5 Combos ” , Circa 1998 ! My favorite BMX Flatland video ! ) LOVE YA , Huck !!

    • Thank you , GravenhurstFlatland ……I really appreciate it ! There’s a new version of me doing this again on You Tube . The video is called ….. Long links with Rodney Williams ….thanks again for your comment.

  4. After an hour and a half you start throwing down the straddle k in there?!?? Then killing pedal cowboy bar flips. The crack packers in the mix too! This is insane. Congrats and props Rodney!! Can’t even say times 7 alone, this was times 7 to the power of 7! Mind blowing and motivating. Congrats again bro.

    • Thanks B to the Z ! I REALLY , REALLY appreciate that you actually watched the ENTIRE combo ! Noticing those key tricks @ the exact time they were done in my combo . Your comment actually stuck in head TODAY , haha….I did a long combo with these tricks mixed in a lil bit more , haha. I’m the SAME way with watching ALL of something concerning Flatland ! I have raw footage of two E.S.P.N. X-Trial contests that were in Grand Prarie Texas in 2001 and 2002 .( My BMX amigos and I were @ both ! ) The video footage of both contests is around almost 8 HOURS each ! I’ve watched ALL the footage STRAIGHT THROUGH , like a million times and can tell you EVERY specific trick , combo , that EVERY rider does in practice , prelims , AND the finals , haha ! I , again and STOKED on the love you show and even more AMMMMPED on YOUR riding style ( NEW school flavor FULL of turbine , spinning , pivot , flowing savagery !! ) Love ya , BZ …..and I’m EAGERLY waiting for your 2nd FLATMATTERSONLINE Exclusive combo !! Your new combo that you’re working on is , I bet SO damn dope !

  5. Rodney, this is a legendary flatland (and athletic) accomplishment. I cannot imagine having the skill or stamina to do even a 10-minute link, as I’ve probably never broken the 1-minute mark, hahahaha. I know you’re a very humble person, but I hope that somewhere inside, you realize that you just made history and deserve the utmost respect from everyone that rides, past and present. \m/

    • THANKS , Mr. OWNER of the PEDAL five !! I’m humbled , campeon….. hell bruv , I’ve NEVER dialed a BASIC hang five , haha……you have turbine / spinning cliffhangers , switch hikers , crack packers ( that you get in AND out of the HARD way , switch hand steam butter slips ! ) , and messiah’s ….ALL of these ON LOCK in COMBOS ! Trust me ……your combos , the degree of DIFFICULTY are WAAAAY more hard !! I REALLY do appreciate the love , Brandon and take what you typed to HEART !! THANK YOU !! I do however …..man……what I wouldn’t do to have the skill level to do YOUR combos , tricks ! ( watched two of your edits TODAY to get pumped to session ! Watching riders , like you who throw down HARD SH-T that I CAN’T do gets me AMMMMPED to ride , haha ! ) You’re a RIPPER , Brandon and I salute YOU / your RIDING !! Also…….I’ve been listening to SO , SO much pop , country , trap rap , electronica , and just about ANY / EVERY kind of music genre out there ….I’ve been COMPLETLY missing a LOT of awesome bands , haha ! Death , Slam , Doom , Crust , Black , Advent , D-Beat , Grind core ……METAL ! YOU , mi amigo have ALWAYS known and PEEP GAMED me to LOADS of bands ( they’re ALWAYS great bands too , that you tell me ! ) Sooooo…….I will try and be schooled by you about bands like you schooled me in 2016 , haha…..Fetid , Cerebral Rot , I KNOW you’ve heard of them are RAD ! Thank you , again , Jefe Woldridge !
