Must Watch – Roman Schiavarelli / Finished
I love surprises here on Flatmattersonline, and we start a big week off for the year with this creative banger from Roman Schiavarelli! Roman for as long as I can remember, has been one of the most creative riders around (would love to have seen Roman in the Master of Creativity contest), lots of interesting concepts in this edit and tricks with no names…. As always with Must Watch edits I like to highlight what I liked about it, everything he does is awesome, but here’s what I liked!
– The no footed steam stall one handed at 00:33!
– X hand hang nothing sat on top tube at 00:51!
– The handstand front wheel balance with the back wheel off floor, simple idea that really bought a smile to my face at 1:08!
– No footed Wheelie stall at 1:27!
Down Underground Finals – 25th November
November is a big month for events in flatland, the Down Undergound finals are going down in Melbourne, Australia. Here’s what Shaun Jarvis had to say:
“After 9 years we are now at the finals of series 9
starting back in 2008 downunderground has helped keep the flatland scene alive in Australia
over the years there has been many international riders attend the relaxed easy going contest format. this year the finals take place in Melbourne, the heart of the Australian flatland scene.(Melbourne has the highest number of progressive riders)
going into the finals it going to be tough in the open class with either Paul Chamberlain or Simon O’Brien have a shot at the year end title with one win each from the previous two rounds.
next year will make ten years of downunderground. Lets keep the momentum going.”
