UK Flatland Championships Day 1

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Effraim — Leave comments ↓

Day 1 here at the UK Flatland Championships at the Birmingham NEC! Today was set up day with Matti Hemmings, myself, Kieran from Oner Sign! We have the floor mopped, branded with the UK Flatland Championships sticker (with a clear grip sticker over the top so it’s not slippery), sponsors banners around the whole arena. Mark Noble at CSG also stepped in with four complete bikes from Hoffman Bikes and We the People for some flatland workshops. There was also chance of a cheeky session to try the floor out, turns out the Cycle Show organiser used to work for the Backyard jams, small world! We are just going through prizes at the hotel at the moment! Novice and AM Qualifiers and Finals tomorrow, it’s going to be a good weekend for UK Flatland!

Stay tuned for results and updates, tomorrow! Via the site and also the instagram @flatmatters

Mateus Beckmann just dropped this nice street style 2015 edit that is definitely worth a watch! In terms of flatlanders riding street, this kid from Brazil might be at the top of the game, theres so much going on in this edit but the 180 backwards rail ride whopper out as the ender stands out and could hang in anyones part. Amazing!
