Last year, Sam Foakes made his return to the contest scene with a second place finish at the UK Flatland Championships. This year, Sam was much more focused on his riding and had two great runs, his second one in particular pushed Dom Nekolny hard for the win.

James McGraw – One Session
ONE SESSION from James McGraw on Vimeo.
At the age of 49, James McGraw is riding better than ever. Psyched on his new custom ride, he left the front wheel tricks alone for a session and this is what happened. James explains more, this is a good watch!
“Since I got my new frame I’ve been riding mostly front wheel. It has been frustrating relearning all my tricks. So when my friend Ray came down tonight and we had a session in the shop. It was my first real session in the shop with the floor prepped properly on the new bike. We started calling out some of my video tricks and it seems like I couldn’t miss a trick if I wanted to. Tonight’s session was the kind of session that motivate me to keep riding. It was Pure Fun!!!!!!!!!”
Ultimate Freestyle Flatland Contest – Sunday November 3rd
Keelan Phillips just hit me up with news of a contest he is having on Sunday 3rd November at the International Centre in Telford, UK.
If you can’t make the Fise and UCI world Champs this one could be for you.
Keelan says “The idea behind this comp is to bring back the excitement and fun, no judging for consistency, riders wont be marked down for attempts only for what they land, quality over quantity. The comp will be held on November 3rd, one class to see who the ultimate freestyler is. Qualifying will be 2 x 2 min runs, finals will be 1 on 1 battles. Hotel at a discounted rate if needed. And held at one if the biggest car shows in the UK! For any info please get in touch with Keelan on his social media or insta page @ultimatefreestylecomp.”
