Brian Tunney is back with a fresh one!

It’s the first day of August, and with every new month, that means that we get a look at Brian Tunney‘s latest video from the sessions he got in the previous month! Here’s just shy of 3 minutes of footage from Brian’s flatland sessions over the course of July! As always, Brian delivers with great riding and a song selection we’ve never heard. Take a look!

“To begin with, every single thing filmed in this month was done at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a first for me. (It also made July a little more productive than I thought it despite the weather.) I broke this video up into a few different sections that basically isolate the trick/combination and how I either expanded on it or made it look more sucky.

Beginning with the barspin to undertaker to gerator: I went for the smith out on the first day, tried it for two hours and failed. The next morning, it happened within 15 minutes of starting to ride. And I’m sure this isn’t limited to me, but here’s the scenario I return to often: I start trying something, I get pretty close, then as I continue to try it, my attempts become worse and worse. Unfortunately, it’s always better for me to walk away and come back, even though that choice is something I never want to do. Because basically, it means that I sit around for an entire night agonizing over the scenario I’m going to re-create the next day in the garage… As Foreigner once said, “Head Games!”

(In case you don’t want to walk away, try this Andrew Huberman trick: Put the bike down, pick something in your line of sight that is far away from you, and focus on that for 10-30 seconds. It’s supposed to widen your focus, let your mind drift and accelerate learning. And I’ve actually seen some small benefit to it.)

Then I went for the double barspin and the barspin to gliding backyard, but I didn’t want to drive myself nuts going for the smith again, so I didn’t.

Then I fooled around with two tailwhip to backwards hitchhiker things, which are kinda no-brain, feel good tricks for me. (I don’t make the rules of when my brain decides to get involved.)

Then came the double tailwhip to undertaker. I was going for more of a traditional old school double tailwhip but veered into pinky squeak territory, then came back the next day to add in that silly cancan on the next one. If you have a front brake and are bored, try a stationary double tailwhip. It’s super hard!

Next up was a random rolling trick that involved a switch elbow glide dropped down to steamroller, pulled back up to hitch. Nothing to write home about but it felt good. And then I did a frame change….

Put together my old S&M Intrikat as a brakeless bike and did a steamroller to feel it out, then popped into invisible hand before throwing to hitch. Again, it felt nice so I’m sticking with it.

And here is where I bookend the month with a repeat of the beginning of the month. The no brakes double barspin to undertaker took three days to land, over 5 hours of attempts, in 102 degree temps. I was finally coming to the conclusion that it wasn’t going to happen, and then it actually happened. That was Saturday, July 30. It’s now the next day and I’m still exhausted and sore, but it’s on video and I never have to do it again. Again, as Foreigner once said, “Head Games!”

Song is from David Knudson’s first solo album. Buy it here.” – Brian Tunney

Another month has gone blazing by, and that means that it’s time for Brian Tunney to give us a look at what he got into during his garage flatland sessions over the course of June! As always, Brian delivers with a ton of real solid riding and a song selection from a band you probably haven’t heard of before, but will be stoked on! Hit play to check it all out!

“Quick rundown of June riding. And also, this is official notice that summer has reached Austin.

The undertaker to backwards wheelie to barspin undertaker: It took four days to land. I’ve seen Scott Powell and Rob Ridge pull out straight up double undertakers, no backwards wheelie. And I’ve tried to no avail. It can, probably happen, but for now, I remain an undertaker to short backwards wheelie to undertaker fool. Initially, I came really close to landing one of these on the first day of trying it, and then three more days had to pass before it just clicked. Brain got out of the way and everything just happened. I have other plans for this but because this took four days, I need a break.

The reverse cancan undertaker was a by-product of trying the reverse cancan undertaker to rope-a-roni. And that also took a while to get right. I swear, it just wasn’t my month for landing things in one session.

The two tailwhips to backwards hitchhiker were my way of saying, “okay, I need a few easy things to do that are fun and won’t break my will.” I’m kinda over looking at that Heresy frame but also too lazy to switch it out.

The half-hiker to invisible hand to g-turn to backwards hitchhiker happened after two hours of attempts on a 95 degree night. This, I will blame on the garage floor. There are some small bumps I’m still acclimating to. And even though I ground bars, I was too tired to redo it. So if you can’t find em, grind em.

The pull up to caboose thing is kinda difficult. It’s half brakeless lawnmower, half dump truck and not consistent. Combined with a pivot to upside down wheelie and then revert out the same side, I spent a good three hours trying to land this. And the final result is not hugely impressive.

The backwards elbow glide to undertaker was another trial: It took close to two hours to land. And I started trying it, thinking that it would be 15 minutes of attempts. Also, the camera adds a huge gut apparently. I will keep my shirt on from now on.

The last two smith decade clips are less than spectacular, but on 105 degree days, it’s just nice to ride for a few minutes.

The song is by ISIS, off the 2004 record “Panopticon.” You can (and should) buy it on bandcamp here!” – Brian Tunney

There aren’t too many things more reliable than Brian Tunney releasing a video on the first of every month. Today is June 1st, and that means that Brian has a short but sweet video giving us a look at what he laid down during his garage flatland sessions last month! As always, he put together some real solid riding, and came through with another perfect song selection. Take a look!

“Not much to say about May: I rode, it was fun, and I figured out a few new things. I also didn’t overdo the undertakers….

The song is from an old Richmond band named Aurora Paralysis and it can be bought here.” – Brian Tunney

It’s a new month, and that means that it’s time for Brian Tunney to release a new video from the flatland sessions he got in over the past month. Despite moving and having a lot of other things to do, he still managed to film a few clips for us to check out and enjoy. As always, Brian’s videos are well worth a look, so get on that play button!

“We moved, again, into another house with a garage that is ride-able. But the entire month was basically spent on moving, getting ready to move, scheduling out appointments for the various tasks that go into moving, and more moving.

So I’m tired. And didn’t ride much in April, but managed ten expected variations on the cancan undertaker. As for undertakers, I am also exhausted of them for the time being. So May might look different. I’m not sure what that means yet, but I’m bored, stuck and need to do something to get rid of the undertaker funk I’m in.” – Brian Tunney

We know when it’s a new month because Brian Tunney always delivers a new video to enjoy on the first of every month, and we love it! Here’s a look at what he got into during his garage and driveway flatland sessions over the course of March! No soundtrack on this one, but a good watch regardless. Check it out.

“I’m so tired that I don’t have anything to say about this video. There’s no music, minimal front wheel tricks and a lot of repeated moves. I’m still in a funk.” – Brian Tunney

Another month has flown by! With a new month, that means we can always count on Brian Tunney to give us a look at what he got into. Here’s a look at some of the riding he got into during his garage flatland sessions. Plenty of gems and the music is on point as always! Take a look!

“So this month started out promising. We got out of town, we spent a few nights in New Orleans, drove all the way to Florida. Then got back and managed to ride a bit in between two harsh freezes, which was followed by an invasion of Ukraine. How I’ve done anything the past few days is beyond me cause the real world sucks a lot of the time.

But I’m very grateful to still be riding and learning. And even though this month’s riding is nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary, the point of it was to make myself do rolling tricks in a two-car garage and see how it worked. Most of the time it worked out, but the ride outs are hard to watch. Just getting stuck in corners in the wrong position can end a landed trick before I get back to the pedals. So if you haven’t seen that old Paul Osicka video of him doing complicated, original tricks inside a Chicago apartment, I’m telling you it’s really, really, really, really hard.

This is that video

And the song is by Joan of Arc, from their early singles compilation. I’d encourage everyone to go buy it on bandcamp, but it’s not there. But the rest of their collection is here.

And finally, this video is dedicated to the memory of Andrew Wickham, rest in peace friend.”

It’s a new year, and Brian Tunney is keeping his streak of monthly videos rolling strong! Here’s a look at what he threw down during his garage sessions over the course of January, laying down a bunch of flatland combos for your viewing pleasure! Check it out!

“On January 1st of this year, I landed the last trick in this video. It took three separate riding sessions and probably 6-ish hours to finally land. I felt good heading into the new year, took January 2nd off and bang, Cedar Fever, an allergy to trees in central Texas, hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s now 30 days later and I’m still suffering from the worst allergies I’ve ever experienced as an adult. But I did manage to get some riding done.

It wasn’t easy. Between accupuncture, multitudes of over the counter medications and sheer will, I rode all month stuffed up, sneezing and coughing. And because it was tough to literally just be outside, I stayed in the garage and went down a double barspin undertaker wormhole that no one should ever be subjected to. However, in keeping with the streak going into its fourth year, here is a lot of riding that looks kinda the same.

Brian Tunney has released his monthly edit filled with clips from the sessions he got in over the course of the past month! This is especially awesome because this video marks 3 YEARS of Brian releasing a new video every single month, which is so good. We are always stoked to check the videos out, and as always, Brian delivers with dialed flatland riding that he put together. Take a look! Hopefully he keeps this going for 2022!

“Full disclaimer: I didn’t leave the garage all month. I had grand plans to leave it but ended up with ten things that felt right, so here we are. Starting off, I finally figured out a double undertaker, then decided to front wheel it up with some older things I used to do to pass the time. Riding in a tight space adds another challenge that I didn’t expect, but in between getting tangled up on bikes hanging from the ceiling and a few tire bonks on the wall, I am happy to report that I finished three years of monthly videos at an advanced age….

Happy new year and thanks for watching!” – Brian Tunney
