Ultralight?
Hungarian BMX street, Dirt experience with life and style.
Presented by: Marics "Nike" Tamas/Kralik Dani
A video from Hungary. Do they have a scene there? They sure do. In fact, the 1992 BMX Freestyle World Championships took place in Budapest and BMX has stuck with a group of good guys.
6 riders have their own parts and those parts are mixed with riding from more than 15 other guys. Szabo Laszlo has the honour to start off the Ultralight video and if you have any doubts about BMX in Hungary, they're gone after watching Szabo ride. This is modern shredding on spots that most of us have never seen before. That's a good thing about this video. It does have some contest footage, but it's new because it has not shown up in RIDE or any other BMX magazines. They build big jumps too over there so you won't be disappointed. The video has music from most of the popular bands. I doubt they've got permission but who's going to go after them? The bands should actually be stoked to be on this video. It's got a lot of funny shots of guys drinking, girls dancing and a mega long crash section.
Ben Shenker has got the last rider section. Some of the tricks he does should indicate the level of the riding that is going on in Hungary: X-up flips, huge handrails, tailwhip to abubacas, tailwhip to manual, tech roll-back-360 stuff, 3-whips, upside down wall plants, opposite 360-s......
Maybe not everyone is this good over there, there are some huckers too, but the Ultralight video is well worth viewing.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
