Video: Dylan Stark's 2022 Highlight Reel
Man I have really enjoyed watching Dylan’s process of transitioning over from Bmx to dabbling on that second hand trek that Semenuk gifted him , to straight up holding his own as a legit pro on the biggest stage in mountain biking. With a flurry of NBDs (that fakie fronty on a double crown on natural terrain has to be a first!)and a creative approach that only a multi discipline rider could have, this guy has earned everything he’s got going for himself . Amazing riding !

Video: Kieran Reilly Lands a World's First Triple Flair on BMX
@nojzilla: simple question which kind of contradicts everything you are on about. Why do double flairs land forward in the tranny? Its because they only have 180 degrees of rotation...By your logic double flairs should be to fakie which they definitely are not.

@nozjilla all your examples involve multiplied single trick movements. we are talking about a combination movement. A flair is combination of moves like a truck driver. When you say double truck driver you're still only doing a 360 but you add an extra barspin you dont do a 360 bar and then another 360 bar. Also the physics of what you think is a triple flair are impossible seeing as after the first rotation you would be forwards and getting pitched into a front flip. This happened in skiing decades ago and the trick got a rename as a result of of the change of movement. There is an evolution of newer tricks like a 540 flair and off axis spins and thats a differnt discussion. What you think is correct is actually impossible and would be more like a gymnastic move not yet pulled on ramp. thats why in sports that are dealing with high spin to flip ratios like skiing and snowboarding the off axis cork has evovled as the method of getting inverted multiple times. although some modern vert riders seem to be heading that direction. this is a triple flair that kieran has pulled. No need to get upset.

Let's get this shit straight for all the punters that think they know what the hell theyre looking at. This is absolutely a triple flair . As you add flips to a flair it multiplies the trick. A flair is a back flip to half twist out to forward on transition therefore as you add flips it becomes a double or triple flair the same way when u add bars to truck drivers it becomes a double or triple truck or whips to 3whips becomes 3 dub whip or 3 trip whip. You don't add half twists for each flip as so many people here seem to think. No 540 is required here to claim. That would be a completely different type of off axis trick not even remotely resembling the flair movement type. By this logic double flairs would be landed to fakie which they don't . Think about what a double flair is ... A double flip to forward involving a total of one half twist there fore triple flair is three flips with one half twist. If he was going to try and do 180 for every flip it would end being some kind of corked out rotation instead of the flair trick that it clearly is. Also it makes no sense calling it a "double back flip to flair " that's literally what a triple flair is or would be like calling a double flip a flip to second flip. Obviously over the years the trick style has evolved in comparison to when Hoffman first did it. Guys travel along the deck and set the rotation cleaner but at the end of the day a flair is still a half twist out of a flip and in this case three! Well done Kieran on attacking this NBD with full commitment! Triple flair stomped yo!

Starling Releases the Roost Mixed Wheeled Hardtail
sick ! I wasnt expecting the backie at the end of the vid. I like it when dropper posts get inverted. Im going to just go down and say that I had to be amongst the first wave to ever dabble with a mullet hardtail ! It was the 2000 and I had a identiti dr jeykl with a 24 rear and 26 front laced to intense mag 30s... We have a come a long way since then .

Video: Mad BMX Sends & Full Commitment in Dennis Enarson's New Film 'Acea'
Locking in that Legend status. I wonder what a nose press down staple center ledge feels like ! How is this man still getting better and progressing video parts after so many years in the game. One of the last elite all rounders that can shred any discipline from progressive and deadman street to transition and big tech dirt lines and still holds his own in comps . Congratulations on the young soon to be ripper !
