These days it’s not uncommon for things to be pretty unpredictable. Fortunately we can count on Brian Tunney to always deliver a fresh new video from his flatland sessions at the start of the month! Here’s a look at what he’s cooked up once again with real solid flatland riding and proper song selection. Get on that play button and take a look!

“If you’re still riding and progressing each month with how crazy this world has become, you are better than me. This is a loose collection of misfires from October. Some old, some new, some what the hell was I thinking.” – Brian Tunney

It’s a new month and that can only mean one thing… Brian Tunney has a new video from the flatland sessions he has been getting in over the course of the past month! (Seriously, this has been going on for almost two years now, and it’s awesome!) Here’s a look at what he got into over the course of September! Always some great riding and proper song selection! Take a look!

“Forewarning: I was almost done with undertakers and then figured out I can go pedal to peg and peg to pedal so I’m seeing this thing through to its natural conclusion. Most of this is new except for one do-over on a better background, and the undertaker kickturn from the start doesn’t look like much, but pivoting and jumping underneath the bike on top of even a mellow bank is harder than I thought it was going to be. I also realize the world is falling apart and that watching old man bmx riding might be a low priority, but it’s my coping mechanism in a crazy world and I hope everyone out there has something similar to help get them through tough days.

One thing we’ve been stoked on is that we can always count on Brian Tunney to deliver with a fresh edit at the start of every month. With August being a wrap, we get a look at what Brian laid down during his solo flatland sessions. This month he mixed things up a bit with two different bikes helping to change up the tricks he was doing. As always, the video is well worth a peek. Take a look!

“Switched back to the Heresy for a bit. It forces me to ride differently but as you can see, it’s also forced me into a “just end on backwards hitchhiker” funk. I know, these are ridiculous problems to have in 2020, and I agree so I’ll end it here.” – Brian Tunney

It’s a new month and that means that it’s time for Brian Tunney to beat up some tennis players put together some fresh clips from the flatland sessions he got in. As always, Brian delivers with some great riding, and a song selection you probably haven’t heard before. This one also comes with a few words on an unexpected struggle caused by COVID below! Check it out!

“Granted, the world is falling apart more and more each day, but here’s the issue I had in July, which is hardly an issue by any standards: I’ve been riding at this outside court near my house for a while now. The place where I ride has no basketball hoops and is typically used by me, skateboarders or one guy that’s really good at jumping rope. But the local tennis courts are closed, so there’s been an influx of tennis players bringing their own nets into the area to try to play tennis. It’s not my area and they can do what they want in the area, but the problem has arisen when they ask me to to move so that they can play tennis.

For the past 30-something years, I’ve been viciously kicked off tennis courts for riding there, and while I understand the no bikes allowed mindset, I’m also a little bit defensive when tennis players come to the place where I now ride and ask me to leave. So there’s been a few tense moments over the past month, with me saying that I ride here all the time, etc, etc. It’s not made riding more fun in the least. Again, this is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things, but I’m still resentful when people participating in other activities deem my activity lesser than theirs, which seems to happen often with Redondo Beach tennis players.

Having said all that, here’s a minute and a half of riding squeezed in between tense altercations with bitter tennis players not allowed to play tennis on tennis courts. Have a great day.” – Brian Tunney

Brian Tunney keeping the monthly videos going! Although it sounds like June wasn’t the best month for him riding wise, it looks like Brain pushed through to get some sessions and film a few clips! Take a look at what he came up with!

“So it’s June, 2020, and by the end of May, I was still going down the undertaker rabbit hole I’ve been visiting since last year. I knew it had to end, or at least lay dormant for a time, but I wanted to get undertaker to gerator to backyard to undertaker filmed just once before I let up on undertakers. It was not an easy task for me, but it eventually happened.

The rest of the month, my motivation was in the toilet. I still went out and managed a few things but I also understand that stepping back is just as important as riding.

Then came the peg-to-peg decade. It’s a trick in the don’t mess with box for me, because I’ve fallen, really bad, more than a few times, when I attempted it as teen. I managed one, then two this past month. And the wheels in my brain started turning. It’s still something I want to explore but I’m also just a little excited that I managed to overcome a past fear and move a tiny bit past it. I’ve still got a long way to go, and I might never get there, but for the time being, it’s nice to revisit a piece of BMX past.” – Brian Tunney

Brian Tunney followed the social distancing rules by catching flatland sessions over the course of May. As always, Brian delivers a fresh edit giving us a look at what he got into over the course of the past month. Hit play to watch some great flatland riding, along with another proper song selection.

It’s a new month, and that means that it’s time for Brian Tunney to give us a look at what he’s been getting into during his solo flatland sessions! As always, Brian delivers with some great riding, and a song selection that we’re sure you’ll be into, too. Take a look!

“This has been edited down because I did a lot of goofy, slow riding the past month, more for my own edification than anything. Honestly, when the whole world seems to be breaking down, BMX riding falls way down on the list of priorities, so I just stuck to some basics and did things that felt good in April. I’m surprised I got anything done. I’m also surprised that this Self Defense Family song seems to work well with slow flatland riding.

There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world these days, but fortunately there are some things that are still there to keep the sanity. Things started getting real weird over the course of March, but Brian Tunney kept things normal by catching his solo flatland sessions. Here’s a look at what he was able to come up with while keeping his distance. Bonus points for having an audio track with this one! Take a look!

“How the hell did I manage to ride the past month? I don’t really know. When the month began, things were still semi-normal and riding was just something I did to pass the time and have fun. Then, the first week ended and things started getting really weird fast.

To maintain a sense of normalcy, I forced myself out of the house to ride a few times, and then some more. At first, avoiding the news, getting away from it all, was not something I wanted to do. But as I’ve learned in the past, going through the routine, even when it’s not something you might want to do, helps.

So I did just that. And apparently, the rest of the world decided to go outside at the same time. At first, the semi-empty park filled up with people quick. And then, the cops took out the basketball hoops and closed off the playground, and suddenly, Redondo Beach became a ghost town. If you listen to this video, as the month progresses, the background noises become less and less.

I’m not sure of what might happen tomorrow or next week, but I’m gonna continue to go do old, shitty flatland tricks because it helps me push on.” – Brian Tunney
