Day 1 of the Wheels and Finns today in Joss Bay, Kent for the UK Flatland Championships organised by Matti Hemmings and myself. Matti was already on site a day earlier to check everything was running according to plan. I made the trip over to Broadstairs via London on the train, the weather was not looking too good on route.
It’s going down today in preparation for the big event tomorrow at Generation Hall. Annunication Square, New Orleans, chill style, bring your yourself, the good vibes, music, water and shade!
A nice friday treat out of France from this amazing Carré Sénart riding spot featuring the likes of Alexis Desolneux, Bo Wade, and many more. Love the vibe of this one. Great job by Dwix putting this together!

Let me stick my neck out and and say this is my favourite clip so far in the Viki Gomez day series leading up to the Nora Cup awards. The way Viki attacks the back wheel in this clip is insane, skills to pay the bills!
It’s going to be a busy week ahead in the world of BMX flatland. And here’s something a little bit different going down on the lead up to the Voodoo jam weekend, starting at 1003 Bourbon Street (the party district of New Orleans). The Red Bull team featuring Terry Adams, Matthias Dandois, Yohei Uchino, Viki Gomez, and Benjamin Hudson will be performing with the New Creations Brass Band on Thursday September 7th at 5pm. If you are in town early for the event, go check this out! Sure to be a good time on Bourbon Street.

Big news broke late yesterday, Pete Olsen has left S&M after 5 years, here’s what Pete had to say on his instagram account:
“It’s been an amazing 5 years but I’ve decided to move from S&M and Brink Distro. Riding for S&M Bikes and Brink Distribution (formerly 1664) has been a dream opportunity and I am incredibly grateful for the chance to do my thing for both companies. Big thanks to Chris Moeller for making this possible and ibonesaw for being a sick ™ at Brink. I’d like to give a special thank you to Chad Johnston, he’s the brains behind the Intrikat program at S&M which has had a huge impact on the flatland community. Chad took me under his wing years ago and opened the door for me so I’ll aways be thankful to him and appreciative of all his hard work. Thanks again!!”
Hot off the presses, here are the first photos of John Yull’s new custom Haro Master that is a remake of what John rode back in 1987 with his own modern custom geometry (you can check the specs and frame photos below!). This looks amazing!
