Did I just have FrogBarz moment? I’m typing about fond memories of competing against York Uno in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. And the next video I see is this Snakebite feature on Shane Neville’s Flatland Manifesto Video magazine from 2004. Do yourself a favour and set aside an hour to watch this. Thanks Snakebite for sharing.
