It’s very rare these days, to have my inbox with a couple of full parts to watch and publish on the site. And as you all know, I am a big fan of video parts and what I believe they do to help the flatland culture grow, be shared and be seen, motivate others etc.
So I was very stoked to see Dub share, Yu Shoji’s new edit filmed by Jimalog on the IGI channel, that’s a winning combination right there, that made me think of previous filming partnerships like Tom Sevisual with Adam Kun and Matthias Dandois, and more recently the Heresy team edits.
It’s been 9 months since Yu released his “Welcome to Far East” edit, that helped become the 2026 Flatmattersonline Rider of the Year, in my opinion you cannot solely rely on contest wins to take this award, it takes more than that and Yu delivers yet again, all in the same or very similar outfit and at the same riding spot in Chiba Japan, which begs the question… how long did he take to film this part?
Yu Shoji is of course on top of his game, and further develops what we see him perform under the contest limelight.
Standouts:
00:24: Switch foot mega spin turbines one handed half whopper to switch foot steam without touching the tyre into his infamous blindside body varial to right side halfpacker pivot backwards switch foot switch hand fork wheelie and out to pedals, clean!
1:07: This line beginning with Yu’s signature two xft-ed steam turbines that equally takes on a half hiker position, ending with one footed spinning half hiker jump to crackpacker, and wait for the exit! So good!
2:59: The triple downside boomerang ender is stomped!
Everything hits in this edit, the music and editing are so point! I’m sure in December I will be talking about this edit for the year end awards.
Go show Yu and Jimalog some love, thank you for sharing this amazing work!
