I know its not flatland, but this edit fuelled my two sessions today, and maybe will fuel yours, if you havent already seen this, dont sleep on it!! the “enders” are groundbreaking!

Photos by Sean Parker.


Pete Brandt, what can I say? For me he’s one of the most iconic people in flatland, I grew up watching videos such as Reality Tv part 1, and reading his Bio in Freestylin’, fast forward to modern day and he’s still killing it, “machine, artist, and athlete all in one”- quote from Chad J. And like when I was growing up, is still one of the top riders, like i said, a true iconic legend of flatland. Here’s Pete B’s last time’s, enjoy!!


Last time you rode in the wet: Today, it started raining at the Clocktower after a few hours of a dry session.

Hey all. Just want to let you know that I am working on with some good people here in Finland in terms of getting Ground Tactics finals happening here in Helsinki… Maybe too early to talk about it but fuck it, I just want to let you guys know that I am onto it.
So, in Helsinki each year there is an Urban cultures festival (URB) –> http://www.kiasma.fi/index.php?id=2191&L=1
And this year 2010 they want to include flatland in it, and I said, how about if we run Ground Tactics final round here (instad of a regular flatland invitation comp) in Finland with top 6 (not confirmed) in a live finals…
They like my vision for flatland which is to show the real hardcore flatland to a new audience (because the audience at URB is pretty understanding to different type of artforms). The guy said that he would like to do it my way instead of trying to kiss the “big masses”.


So, then I threw the ball to a company who´s been organizing the biggest skate comp of Finland for about 10 years and the chief in charge is interested to start working with me to find some sponsors for the comp. I will have a meeting with him next week.


And yes, the ultimate idea is to live stream it to all of you out there who cannot make it to Helsinki. How sick would it be to see Ground Tactics final round on live on your computer or on your phone ?!?!?!?
Yes! That´s all I need. Your support which means keep on progressing…
Of course, I need to mention that nothing is confirmed. I need to find money with the people at URB and the organizer of skate events to pay flights etc. to the finalists. I cannot promise SICK prize money but hey, that is not the point of Ground Tactics. The point is to run the most HARDCORE flatland finals you ever witnessed… And me, Chad and Effraim behind the judging table. Can´t complain about that combination…


Ok, enough said for now. All I need is that you keep supporting and actually keep progressing for the sake of flatland….


Feel free to comment and get this discussion going… It all matters if you know what I mean….
