Battle in the Rockies Video Invitational Rider List Announced!
The Battle in the Rockies video contest is a chance for 2 international riders to win free airfare to the Battle in the Rockies contest being held in Colorado Springs Co, USA, Nov 15-16.
As always it is super difficult to pick a list that will make everyone happy, we tried to go for a list of riders that have put together great video parts within the last year or two. Or that also have brought a progressive style to the contest scene and placed well when they have entered in the last few years. We hope this makes this video contest, a tough contest to win the flights.
The rules are very simple each rider has one month to make a 1 minute video that is unedited. The goal is to have an epic link or set of tricks hit back to back. We want to hear the natural sounds of riding and the thrill of hitting your goal, so we ask no music either. The rules will be strict, you have only 1 minute, any videos over a minute will not be used. There is no penalty for being under, but no one can go over. all videos will be posted on the battle in the rockies page, web site and Flatmatters Online. On Sept 10 2014 all videos will be put together and judged. Judging will be handled by James McGraw and Effraim Catlow there will also be a online vote that will allow everyone a chance to cast a vote for who they think was the best. All votes will be considered and counted. The top two videos will win free air fare to the Battle in the Rockies.
We are happy to announce that the Battle in the Rockies is flying the current world champion Dominik Nekolny in to compete in the Battle in the Rockies.

“Battle in the Rockies is being organized by flatland mad man James McGraw and Recklamation Bikes. James has been recognized as a true rider, who has rode for the love of flatland for 30 years strong. He has traveled the world competing in some of the most renowned contests in flatland history. His goal for Battle in the Rockies is the same as that of Voodoo Jam- bring together the best riders in the world and showcase the brotherhood of flatland to the world. With the help of Recklamation Bikes, James is organizing what is sure to be one of the most memorable events in flatland history. James is using his 30 years of experience as a competitor to bring a contest to his home town of Colorado Springs that will showcase the best attributes of all the contests he has ever participated in around the world. The goal is to showcase flatland, offer prize money worthy of the talent, have a venue that allows riders to excel rather than fight a surface that is questionable, have a panel of judges that are without doubt knowledgeable and unbiased and most importantly have a contest and after party that will allow every rider on every level to feel like a rock star. So don’t forget to mark your calendars for Nov. 15-16, 2014 to “Battle in the Rockies” in Colorado Springs, CO USA!!!!”
