Posted on by — 7 Comments ↓

I am excited to announce The First Annual US National Championships of Flatland BMX at the Bentonville Bike Festival in Bentonville Arkansas on June 17th – 19th. This Championship will be sanctioned by USA cycling and the UCI.
Bentonville Bike Festival is an awesome event celebrating all of bike riding disciplines and we are proud to have Flatland be a part of this event.
A $5,000 Pro purse will be provided and USA riders will have an opportunity to attain a national ranking with the UCI.
I am looking forward to seeing my fellow USA BMX Flatland riders together at one contest, showing strength and a brotherhood that’s unmatched. BMX Flatland started in the USA this is our opportunity to show the world what it means to us all.

Thank you,
Scott OBrien

Red Bull Bike n Mic Show Battle in Luxembourg:12th & 13th March

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Together with www.ggmimage.com we wanted to bring together the amazing energy of Bike N Mic ( BMX & Hip Hop ). I traveled the world during the past 22 years and when I do shows I include the competition tricks because this defines me as an athlete. It happened very often that there was a lot of magic in these moments!

Therefore we thought on bringing together the amazing line up of riders who can deliver both: an amazing show skills connecting with the crowd and epic competition tricks to let everyone with a WOW.

The public will vote with an app that measures the decibels. So riders need to connect with the crowd and still deliver amazing tricks! It’s a big challenge full of good vibes! All riders win as they will have their own time on their demand.

But don’t forget they are warriors and they will fight for the Podium! We will have one contest on Saturday and one on Sunday.

It’s a new concept and we can’t wait to see the results!

Thanks to all the sponsors and everyone involved!

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Looking for a contest to compete at? Rob Alton is hosting the annual Sportszone Contest on November 7th in Hungary, a country with a deep flatland history of amazing riders coming through the ranks. This looks like a good one, read on….

“On November 7th Rob Alton and Sport Zone SE will be hosting the Hungarian Championships and as in 2019 it is open to all international riders too. Sadly, this year no prize money for the Elite Class but the great news is that it will be held in a shopping center in Budapest with open practice on Saturday 6th afternoon into early evening and the contest on Sunday 7th. The categories are Junior (Under 14), Girls (all ages), Amateur and Elite. There will be a new version of “King of Spin” and Best Trick for each category. Elite Best trick has 30,000ft (100 Euro) prize money donated by Miklosi Peter from Hungary.

This is a great opportunity for Flatland in Hungary and hopefully a start of a contest series in 2022-3. So, we hope for a good turn out and a fun 2 days of riding in Hungary’s capitol.
Registration is open until October 31st and any International and Elite riders will be photo featured on our Instagram page.”

MK Format Open Zoom Battle

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Almost everyone who is serious about competing understands that the nervousness during a competition run can make things go wrong, just because the nervousness/anxiety took over the moment you wanted to do a good job with the run you had worked so hard for many months/years.

I have been running these Zoom live contest run simulations for about 2 years now and I have seen a remarkable improvement in everyone’s stress management skills when it comes to understanding how to develop a strong ability to understand how to perform well while feeling nervous. That being said, the live battle system I have here at MK Format works very efficiently and now it is time to make these battles open for everyone! Yes, you don’t need to be part of the coaching program and you can enter these weekly battles whenever you want. However, to make it feel even more like a real contest, there is an entry fee to join these live Zoom battles.

Contest season is starting and the battles are open for everyone starting next week. This is your opportunity to practice in a safe environment and truly understand where your current contest riding level is. In other words, the way you´ll ride in your first Zoom battle is how you would ride in your next contest.

One time entry fee is 50 USD / 42 EUR.
