filmed by Simon Tabron no way ,awesome this is the creme de la creme of flatland so many great riders in here ,never knew you were at this comp Matt some sick riding captured on film 🙂
wasn’t Howard. after making the Bristol Cider Riders video ‘BCR on the VCR’ in 1997 i filmed for the next 18 months getting footage from all over. Phil Dolan took my camera over to the X trials in Virginia Beach (thanks E! for correcting me – not Florida) when he went over to compete along with fellow uk pro Simon Tabron.
Simon did this filming (and maybe Pippa too) and gave me the footage and my camera back when back in the UK. helped massively with footage for ‘Tidy’ -which i finished in 1999 as it had all aspects of riding from all over the world. good times. if everyone is loving some of the older footage I keep posting I will continue to do so for flatmatters.
Cool ,a real treat seeing this.
keep posting Denny keep posting your making this old git very happy haha.
BTW Denny is this footage on “Tidy ” ?? i must watch that again i have all of your dvd’s that you copied for me that time ,thanks man 🙂
Amazing riding, thank you for this! More please!
martti was a bit ahead of time with his tricks…
I started riding about a year before this happened. I would watch every Props video back then with all these contests. This brings back a lot of good memories!
Ethan are you from Surrey UK mate ?
no Howard I’m actually from Bethlehem Pa, USA
This was a great time for flatland. Possibly my favorite era.
oh haha thought it was another Ethan i knew
what a way to start off the 2nd week of the new year 🙂 thanks e! and the guys that converted the video.
i’m pretty sure the ‘never had to knock on wood’ song was the only song that came out in ’98
Nathan Penonzek’s early days, funny to know he’ll win the Masters a few years later when you see this…
