Ganji Bootleg DVD available to download now!


Ganji Bootleg Tour from Ganji BMX on Vimeo.


The wait is over! The Ganji Bootleg DVD is complete. So, a little about the release...

We have decided that it would be best if we released this DVD as a torrent, so the whole bmx community and anyone else interested can download it for free. If you are not familiar with torrents, please check wikipedia.

Included in the folder you will download are the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. Drag and drop these into your favorite dvd burning program and burn yourself and your friends a copy of the DVD. Some video playes such as VLC will play a VIDEO_TS folder also, just drag and drop.

Also included is the soundtrack, the cover artwork, and an iPhone/iTouch/iPod version of the video.

The video stars the Ganji Crew (Gabe Kadmiri, Stephen Hearn, Shayne Khajehnoori, Darin Wright) as they travel around the United States riding at different spots and checking out different scenes and events.

Running time is 45 minutes.

Enjoy!

Moto Sasaki wins groundtactics final stage!


Moto's 3 min combo link took the top honours in the final stage, before the live finals in Finland on the 7th of august.


The top four were:


1- Moto Sasaki
2- Sam Foakes*
3- Takahiro Ikeda
4- Toon


* Sam is getting married the week after, so has lot of work to do for is wedding so is unable to make it. That means the fourth place spot gets a free flight.


Martti will be posting the rest of the results later. A few people bailed from this round, which is a shame, but thanks to everyone who took the time to film and post their entries!!!

Simon O'Brien Deju Vu interview!!


After watching Deju Vu, I thought it would be interesting to follow up my review, with a mini interview to see how Simon was feeling about the project, read on!

How long filming in total for Deju vu? 
About 3-4 yrs,but in this time. I have been busy with alot of other stuff also.

The production and quality seemed to go up a notch on Deju Vu, was that a conscious decision from you to push the quality standards higher?
Yeah it was,professional dvds look way better,due to filming and shots and editing,so I tried my best with all of it and had my friend Mason Rose do the intro.Just trying to make flat look good you know,trying
to do my part.Also,just like flatland,its good to look at other stuff as well as wanting to progress.

I always wondered what drives people, What’s your motivation behind a solo dvd, it’s certainly not money right? And did that motivation change after "Made you Look"?
Well 'Made you look' was about showing my real riding that people hadn't seen,I got alot of good feed back and people said it was motivating....feels great to be able to motivate someone!I enjoyed doing the dvd, so I thought it would be a great challenge to try and better myself with a new dvd and hopefully motivate people again!

What’s the pressure like filming for a solo dvd, I’d imagine you felt an air of expectation after "Made you Look"?
Yeah absolutely,I knew I had to really try hard and do new stuff,I find its harder as you get older! It seems other things happen as we get older and dont ride as much,so it was bit of a mission to do sometimes, but good fun. :)

What was the hardest trick for you to capture on film?
The backwards 360 kickflip,hardest thing i've ever done.




Are you happy with the end result?
Yeah i am,it has alot of cool stuff in there that i'm proud of and wanted to share with people.For sure things could have been better but,i tried ya at the end of the day if it motivates a few people i'm stoked!
Plus i will have something in the future to look back on :)

If you could watch a solo dvd by any other rider who would it be?
Corey Bohan, or Martti and i've done that, so its cool.

Where can riders get Deju Vu from?
Flatfuel,newcircle,kunstform,and a few other places.

You’ve done the video project thing for a few years now, any desire or hunger to get back in the contest scene?
I would love to do the contest thing, purely to see old friends and travel again.The pressure to prove myself isn't there as much or no amazing money in comps, so it would be great to catch up and travel.

Any final thanks you’d like to give for the dvd?
All my friends that helped,Colony,Etnies,,,,,Mason Rose,,,,,and Effraim for the interview. Thanks!

Diversion Tv: Contextual: Battle of Elsinore 1998

Battle of Elsinore 1998 went down in Toronto, Canada. An event that was once primarily a flatland event went street, and flatland eventually got the axe from the program. I'm not sure about the details on the organizational end, but the name changed and the annual event is now known as the Metro Jam.

Despite all this, in 1998, flatland was embarking on a journey into a new era, as Martti Kouppa made his debut on the global flatland scene.

After a mesmerizing run at World Championships, rumors were flying everywhere in North America-"Dude, there's this guy in Europe, he's like the next Kevin Jones!"

Sponsored by Chiquita Bananas and adorned in bright colors, it was hard to miss Martti Kuoppa, throwing down the new tricks and styles people had been hearing about.

From that point on, Martti continued to change the face of flatland, chronicled in the Intrikat video series.

This clip also showcases other flatland moguls of the time, Chad Degroot, Andrew Faris, Dan Rigby, Brian Tunney, and Cory Stratychuk. There's also a Dan Rigby interview as a bonus!

I personally feel that in this era, the most varied types of techniques were being widely used in flatland- rolling, scuffing, barflips, front brake, back brake, turbines, g-turns, undertakers, etc. -Framestand locomotive to cross-footed stick-b, sick!
