John Yull – “SameThingDaily 3” Section

February 19, 2015

Here’s some gold we spotted on Flat Matters! Above is John Yull’s banger of a section from the “SameThingDaily 3” DVD and even though his mind was in other places, he was able to really push himself to his limits to make this his best section ever. Hit play and take this all in.

“One year ago today I was awoken with a phone call from my mum. She had just been diagnosed with kidney cancer. It had spread to her lung and she was told it was terminal. Our family went into shock. We had no idea how long she had to live. I traveled home to England in May to give her as many hugs as she wanted. We did as many fun things as we could squeeze in. I traveled back again in October. She had just been admitted into hospice when I got there. I spent a week with her and left on a Wednesday morning. By far the most devastating thing I’ve ever done – walking away, saying goodbye, knowing I would never see her again. She passed away on that Friday. During this time I was trying to film this part for SameThingDaily3. Sometimes my heart just wasn’t really in it but I was trying to use it as a distraction. Once mum had passed I made the decision to dedicate it to her. With that decision I knew I had to make it something I, and hopefully she, would be proud of. She had seen 90% of it in October and she loved it. I pulled the last trick on 12/14/14 the day before the DVD was going to production. I had spent many hours and sessions trying it. I had pretty much given up. I went for one last session and 15 minutes in I hit it! I still have a feeling I got pushed over on that last decade. Thank you, Dane for giving me this opportunity to pay tribute to my mum. I feel it’s a good way to make something good out of a sad day.” – John Yull

Brian Tunney – January 2015

February 19, 2015

Just spotted this short but sweet gem of Brian Tunney over on Flat Matters! It’s always good seeing something new from Brian who continues to crush it after all these years. I know he’s a busy guy, so anything we can get out of him is more than awesome!

“This is one trick I did in Newport Beach, California at a flatland jam. The rider cruising the bar ride and bailing halfway through the frame is former Mongoose/Vans pro Rick Allison, whom I once had photos of on my wall as a teenager. And the video was shot by Robin Fenlon, whom I miss on a daily basis since leaving the South Bay. I was originally going to save this for a bigger project, but I’ll just show it now and reuse it later since I don’t care about that kinda thing.” – Brian Tunney

Flatland BMX at a Wedding?

February 10, 2015

I think every rider that is on the verge of getting hitched has tried to figure out a way to incorporate BMX into their wedding. With what we would assume is a less than 1% success rate due to bridezillas not having any of it, there are rare occasions when somebody pulls it off. Here’s a video we spotted on Flat Matters where one lucky guy pulled off a little demo for his new wife and all their friends and family at their wedding reception. Impressive.
