Rumors
Nice upload from the japanese archives today by koburi200, from the tricks I’m guessing this was filmed 1997-98 ish. Rumors has the feel of the beginning steps of the japanese scene becoming the mecca for flatland today, featuring York Uno, Ryoji Yammamoto, Hiroya Morizaki, Akira Okamura and many more.
Markus Redlberger – Lost in Flatland
It looks like another edit lost in the archives, this time round check some great footage from Markus Redlberger from Vienna, unique styles for miles! Lot of nice whiplash lines (downside 00:36, one handed 1:04, xfted), especially liked the momentum Markus creates from seemingly nothing around 1:50 mark, this was filmed around 2012-13 and still stands up! Definitely worth a watch!
Sean Leslie – King of the Courts 1989
During the late 80’s one of the progressive riders on the flatland scene, was this guy, Sean Leslie! Check out this contest footage from the King of Court series 1989, from New Jersey I believe.
