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
