The word from Matthias:

“This summer I went with the whole Vans french team in south west of France for a family trip. Family because we’re all good friends.
It was definitely the best time I had this summer. Between the mornings at the beach, afternoon riding some incredible spots and nights shredding the clubs, nothing could have gone better.
Vans released this awesome web-zine (in French and English) that featured awesome photos from Vincent Perraud, Interviews with all the team, and a lot of cool stuff that sums up this amazing week!”

Last night the world lost a great man, one of the most inspirational people of our time, today Apple gained a spirit, think of all Steve Jobs helped to bring technology, and how that helped flatland and how you communicate everyday, the man was a genius! Above is his his commencement speech to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005. He talks about getting fired from Apple in 1985, life & death. R.I.P. Steve Jobs 1955-2011. It’s a sad day!

Aki’s first round entry 2010/2011.

This coming year should be really interesting, will some of the contest pros compete? Will Aki defend his title, will James White appear again? Will Sam Foakes return this year? Will the 2010 groundtactics and the two years in a row Nora cup champion, Moto Sasaki return for his crown….. Arguably the most progressive contest thats currently happening in flatland returns, Martti gives you all a heads up on the first round.

“I am working on to get the Ground Tactics 2012 – 3rd season going on. Right now what I am working on is to find a way to gain some price money and product support for the prices.
At this point all I can say is that I am scheduling the 1st deadline for videos to be sometime between 1st of december 2011 – 1st of february 2012. Just so you know to start preparing already. Thank you!
