Red Bull Circle of Balance 2012 Livestream
It’s hard to believe the last Red Bull Circle of Balance was ten years ago in Kyoto, Japan. I hd a blast commentating the event back then, the level of riding got heated in those final battles. This one is worth going back and watching again, as we warm up what will be a busy week here on FM!
I will be in New Orleans, covering the event for Flatmattersonline this coming weekend. I’m not commentating the livestream this year, so I will filming. As Red Bull are covering the livestream, I will try and make a series of edits to update you all at home.
Any suggestions welcome in the comments section, and I will see what I can do.

Chimera A-Side: Pro + Womens Highlights
The Chimera A-side finals will go down as one of the best contests I have been to, the level of riding during the finals in particular was absolutely off the charts. There were some heated battles during that journey to decide the winner, Yu Katagiri and that 360 bike flip line at the end showed no mercy. Laying it all on the line for the 100k prize money. Flatland needs more of this… cracking edit that needs to be watched, congratulations also again to Carin Hommura, winner of the Womens class!!
