00:00 [CHEERING]
00:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:04 Let's go!
00:05 Widening Garden is the best rider in the world right now.
00:09 If anybody can up the ante, it's you.
00:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:15 [INAUDIBLE]
00:17 In the last two years, he will not be doing it again.
00:21 [INAUDIBLE]
00:23 He's got quite an interesting bike setup.
00:25 He keeps his bars really narrow so that he's
00:28 close to the bike throughout.
00:30 And that helps him with bike flips
00:31 and that really close level of control.
00:33 Got to watch closely here.
00:38 Straight away with a bike flip.
00:41 Another one.
00:43 And again, he's moving to upside down just effortlessly.
00:45 There's another bike flip to cross foot on the other side.
00:53 With so much control spinning out,
00:55 he's keeping this combo going with an undertaker to finish.
01:00 There's almost twice as many tricks in that 30 seconds
01:03 as you'll see from other riders.
01:04 [INAUDIBLE]
01:06 [INAUDIBLE]
01:08 [CHEERING]
01:11 [INAUDIBLE]
01:14 Let's go!
01:15 So he's pulling up onto the back wheel again.
01:19 This time moving round into that spinning position,
01:24 moving into that backyard flow.
01:25 You just have to watch his footwork so closely.
01:32 Straight into that spin on the side.
01:34 He's going to flip to upside down again.
01:36 Now he's moving up onto the pedal.
01:42 That really ups the difficulty level,
01:45 building up the momentum there.
01:46 Flip to the other side.
01:52 And honestly, the level of technicality in that combo
01:56 was just relentless from start to finish.
01:58 [INAUDIBLE]
02:04 The people of Montpellier want more.
02:11 Our final rider.
02:12 Again, moving onto-- oh, first mistake from you.
02:21 And that's the sort of stuff at this stage
02:23 that might make the difference.
02:24 And he's back on his bike.
02:31 Onto the pedal.
02:33 Wow, how did he hang on?
02:36 Two mistakes there.
02:38 It's just so hard going on after a performance
02:44 like that from you, Shoji.
02:46 Let's see how he composes himself in the last 45 seconds.
02:50 [INAUDIBLE]
02:51 Oh, another error there from you.
02:55 Wow.
02:56 It's so hard to come back once you just
03:00 start to make mistakes.
03:03 The crowd getting behind him.
03:06 Watch this.
03:07 Full bike flip.
03:10 Unbelievable.
03:11 How did he just pull that out of the bag?
03:18 [INAUDIBLE]
03:20 Oh my goodness.
03:21 Now he's really going for it.
03:22 Comboing onto the inside.
03:24 Oh my goodness.
03:32 Oh!
03:34 I just cannot believe the level of flat land
03:37 that we're seeing in the competition scene now.
03:39 How did he get that full bike flip into a combo like that?
03:44 These guys are just pushing each other so hard and so far.
03:48 That was a wild
