IGI BMX – Los Andinos

January 22, 2024

IGI BMX with some flatland from the Andes Mountains!

Here’s a fresh video Jean William Prevost sent through from some flatland sessions that Owen Bohn and Benjamin Hudson got in together and at their home spots. This is a mix of riding and footage from some of the fun they had off their bikes as well. It’s loaded with a ton of great riding, so get on that play button to get your flatland fix in. If you want to learn a little bit more and get a bit of a behind the scenes look there’s also a write up with photos you can check out right here as well!

“Owen Bohn & Benjamin Hudson hold a special bond. Both share a passion for flatland that is hard to find at that level in the mountainous area they inhabit, they live pretty close to eachother except for the towering Andes mountains that separate their cities Santiago and Mendoza. They’ve been taking this 8 hour bus ride that crosses the sight of the tallest mountain outside the Himalayas every time they feel for the motivation of riding with a real one. 15 years later they still motivate each other to keep pushing. This video will show them riding in a short mixed session together but also host a solo part for each on their own spots in Mendoza, Argentina and Santiago, Chile.

Jean William Prevost – Comes In Waves

July 1, 2023

Jean William Prévost sent through is new Comes In Waves video!

Here’s a dialed new one that Jean William Prévost dropped for you to check out. The “Comes In Waves” video was 3 years in the making and is 12 minutes of footage from the sessions Jean has gotten in all over the place. As expected, the riding is amazing with a ton of crazy flatland combos you won’t want to miss. Get on that play button and take a look!

“This video edit visits 4 of the spots I have spent A LOT of time at in the past 3 years or so. Chinatown, Home, Dojo and The Hall. The setting takes place in Montreal, but the vibe is very inner sanctum and fighting the good fight to make new lines & tricks come to life.
This one goes out to everyone catching their own wave and making the best of it. Riding Flatland is the furthest thing from surfing as we shred the pavements of the urban jungles of the world, yet everything we do in life vibes at a frequency, and that frequency has its own rhythm. Sometimes you have to put the thing you love the most aside and come back to it with a fresh mindset and give it another go and ride that wave anew. Sometimes you over practice a certain trick and it doesn’t help it come to life as would putting aside and coming back to it later would.
I can’t really find the words to describe the pain, love, happiness and suffering that went behind this video. I hope you like it, share it, show it to your friends and let them know the magic of this sport through this video. I hope the love I have for the sport is felt, absorbed and something important can be retained or withdrawn from this compilation. None of this shit happens on its own, its a perfect case of fall down, get back up try again and that over 1 million times over. One of the tricks in this video took me over 10 years to finally land. It might still look a bit rough, but in my heart I am happy that fight is over.
If there was one thing I could do if i get another go at life, would be to start riding earlier and more rigorously so that I could learn even crazier maneuvers at an even earlier onset with the modern light bikes :))) . Although, if this is the only one I get, I will settle with this one chance I get…
Thanks to Scott Denoncourt, Kevin Carroll, KEith and Tammy for helping with the take down at the Dojo, leaving that space was very emotional. That place doesn’t even exist anymore, a place of which I know every little bump and crack is already long gone as this edit comes out! SO WEIRD!
Thanks to Reklamation Bikes & Far East Cycles for everything they have made possible in my life. Thanks to the people that support me without expecting something in return.
Thanks to Flatland for believing in me and my products, I am infinitely grateful for the love and support IGI is getting throughout the World.
For those who have a hard time believing in themselves, just remember that it comes in waves and that its ok to take a break as long as you get back to it in a timely manner. Nothing happens on its own. Flatland isn’t easy but it’s a great teacher, though its lessons won’t come until you let the waves of its wisdom hit you over the years of practice in a cycle of working hard and letting go.

Thanks for watching and your feedback in the comment section would be appreciated !

“Juan Niebles is a professional BMX Flatland rider from Bogota, Colombia. On his way to Italy to work on a cruise ship for Cirque du Soleil, he stopped in Montreal in order to train and prepare for the show at the Cirque HQ (April 2020). A month of training later and a day before he was meant to fly to Italy, the borders of the country closed due to a massive outbreak and Juan faced a dire decision; Return to Colombia or stick around in Montreal until everything settles down. Little did he know this interlude would last 2 years and some… 2 years later here we are gifted with a compilation of his best riding clips accumulated during this period of time! You can follow Juan on Instagram at @juancniebles . You can also follow IGI @igiflatbmx .
