August 17, 2017

Red Bull coming through with an amazing video that’s bound to get some of you old school and flatland guys stoked. They teamed up with Chad DeGroot and Yohei Uchino to look at flatland BMX from the 80’s until now. Obviously that’s A LOT of ground to cover in 4 minutes, so the first half of this briefly covers the past with some costumes, old school bikes and some actual clips filmed from the 90’s, and then we get a few current riding clips that are real good, too. Check it out!

“Experience the evolution of Flatland BMX from the 80s to present day.

“STAGES” brings together two of the scene’s most iconic riders, Red Bull athlete Yohei Uchino & the legendary Chad DeGroot as they travel through time re-exploring a range of tricks & styles from the Cherry Picker and Scuffing to the highly technical modern era of Flatland BMX.
