Vignolles Renaud got in touch with some great news if you are in Paris, France or nearby:
“We can’t go all of us to Helsinki for the Premiere (and the Party) in a movie theater, so that’s gonna happen in Paris as well!
For those who already know, seeing a good flat edit on a good bar is just great,
for the others, that’s a great opportunity to discover BMX Flatland while sharing a drink!
so spread the news and come by numbers!:
Kurt over at http://www.bmxunion.com has been helping me out the last day or so add a few new lil’ touches to the site. Take note you can track conversations easily with the “Recent Comments” on the right hand side, and also a facebook and twitter like and share feature, and easily like the FM facebook page on the top right hand side, let me know what you think?
Great promo edit by Matt for his sponsor Pinhead Extreme Stylin’ Gel. How Matt does the spinning death truck in the last trick still gets me.
If your on facebook add them:
“There’s a lot of great 1991 flatland in this clip, but I’m going to focus on Bill Nitschke pulling the first Whopper (bunnyhop tailwhip) in a contest at 5:00.”
The FreestyleBMX tales blog take you back to 1991, hit the link for the juice.

Really nice double foot double fire hydrant turbine mid combo in this new clip from Luke’s freezing cold garage riding spot.
What a shame Shawn didn’t demonstrate this Nose Wheelie Cheater Bar in use, although I hear this the first of three parts!
