Panagiotis Manaras – The Playground

February 17, 2013

Tasos Kosmatopoulos sent through his latest video that’s definitely one to check out. Not only doing Panagiotis Manaras bring some awesome riding and kill this ramp setup, but Tasos really went out of his way to add a lot of production value to this one. Check it!

“This is a project that I wanted to do for quite some time. Single location, one rider (Panos Manaras) and an edit to combine super slow & fast motion. So I rented a crane and Sony FS700 from a good friend and contributing filmer Dimitris Katranidis to combine them with my current equipment. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making this video. Huge thanks to Dimitris and Leonidas Germanopoulos for putting their talents and helping out during filming ! This beautiful ramp and park was built by a small group of riders-friends (Bogiatiland crew) during a long period of time as it is totally self funded. You are all welcome to ride it with us whenever you travel to Ag.stefanos near Athens ,GREECE.

George Manos “The Humbling”

January 10, 2013

Tasos Kosmatopoulos is on it this morning! Here’s a new flatland edit featuring George Manos you’ll definitely want to see. The riding is good and the filming and editing is on point.

“Flatland bmx is very intense and demands huge levels of patience . Sometimes its even harder to perform on demand or in front of a camera. As riders we all have spent hours and hours trying to pull our hardest tricks. Start-fail-restart-fail -restart and so on. During this time a game of persistense and giving up goes on in our head. This is the process of “The Humbling”. In the end you either end up victorious or not. As I was filming George I was impressed by his drive , persistense and mildness of his riding and character. The colouring in this vid depicts exactly what my impression of his riding is . Mystic . This is part 1 of a series of vids on his flatland bmx skills.”
