The AFA is reborn in 2016!
James McGraw just dropped some big news on his FB page, read the official press release below:
“I’m very excited to announce that I will be putting a new twist on an old idea. With help from Todd Carter Joe Cicman and John Yull, we are proud to announce the introduction of a true American flatland circuit. The AFA “American Flatland Association” In the 80’s the AFA “American Freestyle Association” put American Bmx on the map with grassroots contest coast to coast. The new AFA is focusing it’s energy on the American flatland scene to showcase the amazing talent that is here in America and seemingly gets overlooked. We will be holding four events this year. They will be both east and west coast, starting in Orlando, Florida then Detroit, Michigan, Los Angeles, California and Colorado Springs, Colorado. This should give everyone a chance to attend at least one event. We are currently locking down the dates and will post the official schedule in the coming days. Stay tuned for dates and more information!”
