Awesome!

Nice! Does this still exist as a sport? I remember a guy and girl performing on the street in Waikiki like this - early 80s

[@rtoddcarter]

Yes it does. If you’re in the US you can check out the American BMX Flatland League. In Europe there’s FISE, in Japan there’s Ark League (among others) that all host BMX flatland contests

Amazing not one wheelie was performed. Lol

[@rtoddcarter]

Actually they are all wheelie derivatives!

[@ryanjohnson3003]

@@rtoddcarter very true. I educate the young guns who are into wheelie combos to progress.
