Completely mesmerizing! I had the opportunity to capture an action perspective of some remarkable maneuvers of a BMX Flatland Freestyle group in our 50th State.

Hawaii has a dedicated and very strong BMX Flatland Freestyle presence with some very talented riders. This committed BMX Flatland group are the only ones on Oahu, Hawaii that meet often for Sunday jam sessions that keep the sport alive and active. In September, Freestylers from the mainland and Japan will converge to the Island to experience Aloha Jam.

This video edit features dedicated riders, Lindsey Bode, Derek Takemoto, Adam Jung, Ronny Bosque, and Kala Yasuda along with others on their jam session at Makiki District Courts in Honolulu, Hawaii.

This form of artistic acrobatics has come a long way with newly engineered bikes equipped with zero offset forks, small front sprockets and more. In the clip you will see a rider conduct spin moves on pegs(front and rear) to surfing the handlebars. All WITHOUT the use of brakes! I was amazed at the zenlike balance and ability to utilize momentum with dance-like maneuvers while holding the rear pegs during a spin. It takes superb agility, skills and lots of practice to master those moves.

Congratulations Hawaii riders and long live your sport! See you guys again soon. Aloha!
