Good to see some flatland heads getting coverage on Brant Moore’s podcast show. In this 35th episode, Brant finds out more about what the hell FrogBarz is. Tune in and get educated…
Markus Wilke over at Freedom BMX is on it, and already put out this great footage from the UEC European BMX Flatland Championships Men’s Final @ Ruhr Games 2023. Thanks for documenting Markus!
I’m assuming everyone has seen “Watch Out For Robots” now, individual parts have posted. Now you can enjoy the enders from Lindsey Bode, Bobby Burge, Bobby Carter, Omari Cato, Joe Cicman, Mickey Gaidos, Pedro Melo and Art Thomason. Steve Lapsley has killed it with putting this out, and continuing the hype.

Paulo Gepulango recently took a trip to Hong Kong with his family, and met up with the locals. So good to see a scene edit like this, good vibes! That spot looks amazing!
Liam Ward was one of the most progressive flatlanders during my childhood here in the UK scene, this past Sunday marked 25 years sadly passed away. Johann Chan kindly made this tribute edit and had some nice words to share.
“It’s been 25 years since my friend and Flatland shredder Liam Ward left us.
Liam was incredible on his bike, competing in BFA contests, and even making it onto the Invert team. He was a top bloke with a great sense of humour, great taste in alternative music, could dial a bike like no one else, and, could pelt a Hang 5 faster than anyone I’ve ever seen to this day.
There isn’t much of him online, so I’d like to commemorate this anniversary with a re-cut of some footage I shot of him around 92- when Birmingham Library was still standing, his 84 Master was still blinding me in the sun, the ponytails were flowing, and the mosh pit was the only dancefloor we knew. Rest in Peace (or to a great Dorkin’ section & a bev).”
Congratulations to Moto Sasaki, Yu Katagiri and Yu Shoji top 3 in the Japan Cup that took place in Yokosuka this weekend.
Congratulations to Ayuna Miyashima, Sakura Kawaguchi and Kirara Nakagawa top 3 in the Women’s Class. The level is going up each event with these style cats, good to see Japan having national events for a few years now.
