Varo Hernandez Flybikes BMX

Here’s a little sponsor news for you. Flybikes have added Varo Hernandez to their line up over in Spain. Check out a few words about the news below, along with a look at his new setup. This is an interesting one since Flybikes haven’t had any flatland specific products for some time. Maybe they’re planning to bring back some of their old Suelo products in the future? That would be pretty interesting to see. Either way, it looks like they’ve added another dialed rider to the team.

“Varo Hernandez is an awesome human! He is a Madrid local, where since the 80’s there has always been a great flatlander scene with a magic level and very good vibes. Varo’s good friends with Sergio, Courage, and Tere. It’s common to see them together riding around Madrid. For that reason, Varo joining the Flybikes Family seemed like a natural fit, so… WELCOME TO THE FLY FAMILY!!” – Flybikes

Here it is! The past few weeks we have been hearing about the “Nice, Nice, Very Nice!” flatland video by Steven Lapsley, and now it’s online for your viewing pleasure. If you’re looking for a dialed flatland video, this is definitely one you’re going to want to check out! Hit play and take in over 20 minutes or pure BMX goodness.

“Nice, Nice, Very Nice!

With the follow up to Forget What You Heard, we set out to continue to showcase riders who you may not see as often. Our goal is to create a wild fast-paced vibe that brings you back to the days of punk rock on cassette and BMX on VHS.

A film by Steven Lapsley featuring Enoki Takahiro, Fabien Stephan, Gurvan Le Bloc’h, Mates Tucek, Pedro Melo, Raphael Chiquet, and Varo Hernandez.

In the words of Kurt Vonnegut-
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice—
So many different people
I’m the same device.” – Diversion TV

Red Bull – Water to Dust: Varo Hernandez

Here’s a unique one we spotted on Flat Matters featuring Varo Hernandez working with photographer Predrag Vuckovic on a photoshoot involving a lot of two things we generally try to avoid; a lot of water and a lot of dust! Above is a behind the scenes look at the water portion and below is the dust. Definitely a unique concept that lead to some great photos.

“Serbian photographer Predrag Vuckovic likes nothing more than taking on a big challenge, and even more so when it comes to shooting incompatible entities and situations.
BMX Water to Dust took final form in Predrag’s dreams. Having been a scuba diving instructor for more than 20 years and a former BMX rider it’s easy to conclude how the original idea came about.
To get a glimpse of the dust element in this production go check out the content he produced for Mobile Creativity in cooperation with Microsoft Mobile using the latest Nokia Lumia device: youtu.be/6l0J_z3CIlQ
