The top 5 nominees for the NORA Cup 2012 have been posted on Ride BMX. For Flatland they choose the following 5 riders:
– Matthias Dandois
– Viki Gomez
– Alex Jumelin
– Dominik Nekolny
– Yohei Uchino
From the five chosen, what do you think? Who has had the best year?
I don’t get to vote for this, but if I did, my vote would be for Dominik Nekolny this year…
In terms of progression of style Alex has changed the most….but….
I think Dom has been winning more competitions than before of the late, so he would be the #1 pick for me. He’s been riding at his best and is dialed as a mfer.
AJ
ot Matthias
Chad Johnston: best edit, best variety of coverage and best new parts line. Point, set and match!!!! But props to everyone on the list. They are all deserving!
Too bad we don’t have an award for the continued promotion of the sport of BMX freestyle. I’d vote for E and Rad Dad and Terry would be a close third.
Thanks Reggie!
And agree this year is a close one, I think it’s between Ucchie and Dom for the whole year! This year is tight, as Alex has had a great year also, Viki has won the COB for the third time, plus dont forget his video parts. Theres a real positive vibe around flatland at the moment, which is awesome!
Alex gets my vote. He has completely reinvented his style and it’s original and dope as hell. Love watching him ride right now.
Viki for sure! Talk about comebacks? Fresh off winning COB again! His style is so well rounded, front, back wheel, switches, bike flips! Ultimate!
I would go with Dom. The guy is at every comp worldwide busting out!
AJ, for upping the ante alone, otherwise Matthias for the level of all-roundedness in his riding now.
