I regard Albert Retey as one of the all time flatland greats, and I have wanted to watch this run back for absolutely years. Big thank you to Thomas Fritcher for this upload. and many more as well from the Kenn, Trier Worlds in 1990.
Albert was hauling ass in this run and freestylin’ his way through it to boot, so much style and natural ability. Not to mention it’s been a while since an OSS post, so why not make it a good one huh?

Michael Steingraeber – BMX Freestyle Worlds, Kenn, 1990
BMX Freestyle Worlds, Kenn, 1990 from Michael Steingraeber on Vimeo.
Mike S explains this one:
“I recently stumbled across this video of the end of my world champion run at the 1990 Kenn BMX Freestyle Worlds. That’s 25 years ago this august: a quarter of a century! I remembered it as a flawless run. I guess I was wrong. Too much raditude after managing the hard part of the death truck to dump truck! I was especially excited to be able to watch my first original link: A chick whip to x-footed locomotive. I had been practicing this a lot, tried it a lot during warm up before the finals and actually did it in my run. I was so happy that day!”
Here is the video I took this footage from:
