Yesterday was Day 1 of my 2017 Battle in the Rockies trip to Denver, Colorado. James McGraw and Fred Gates once again invited me out to the mile high city to judge this year’s event.
I met Mates Tucek at London Heathrow, Terminal 3 on Monday morning, the flight was delayed by a little bit, but nothing too stressful. Flying time of nine hours, twenty five minutes to Denver. Luckily the movie selection was pretty entertaining, so after watching a couple of movies we were in Denver. Throughout the trip out there, security was really tight and Mates seemed to get searched every time, we counted at least ten times, and each time Mates would style his hair. This amused me a lot, and made the trip out so much fun and the day just seemed to fly by as we caught up and discussed all things flatland and general work life stuff.

Great edit from the recent 4th Annual Tampa Bay Labor Day Flat Jam shot and edited by Brett Rolfing. Grab a cuppa and enjoy the jam vibes from Florida, big up JJ Marley organising this one every year.
Fresh new edit out of one of brightest talents in the modern day flatland game, Owen Bohn. watching this edit just gave me the sense, Owen can do what he likes. In particular, the in front of bar one handed whiplashes halfpacker pivot opposite x-ft hitch bar flip out and the last line ending with half hiker pivot backwards crack is amazing! What a nice treat!
