Fise UCI World Cup Alabama Results

Stop 2 of the Fise / UCI World Cup went down last week in Birmingham, Alabama. Congratulations to Yu Katagiri taking the win in the Alabama humidity (even causing Yu heat exhaustion in prelims), Yu was followed by Japanese team mate Yu Shoji, and Jean William Prevost on the podium.

The Womens Elite class was dominated by the Japanese girls, with UCI World Champion Chiaki Todaka back on top form having an amazing first run to take the win, followed by Carin Hommura, and Sona Yoshumura rounding out the podium.

Congratulations to Bryan Huffman taking the win in the Open Class followed by Kelly Baldwin, and third went to Axel Reichertz from Germany, although attendance was small in the open class it was good to see this event happen on the Fise stage.

16 YEARS OF FLATMATTERSONLINE!

“To document, share and progress”, the mission statement if you like of Flatmattersonline has remained consistent since FM’s birth in 2008. As I wondered what I can produce to celebrate our 16th anniversary, I asked around a few friends as I always do for some feedback. One of the ideas was to showcase 16 highlights throughout the years, that idea stuck in my head for a few days before I started going through the archives and thinking this had a nice feel to it.
I enjoyed going through content I had forgotten about, and I thought you at home would do also.

It’s hard to fathom its been 16 years being Flatmatters, I appreciate all the support I have been receiving especially recently. It seems as I am pretty much the only consistent the only flatland website, riders seem to appreciate the work that goes into running the site much more.

It would be interesting to hear back from you at home, what are some of your most memorable moments?

*The actual anniversary was Saturday 30th November, which I missed being at work all day.

I’ve added website links and videos as well for a reference for you all.
Here we I go! Thank you Flatland for 16 amazing years!

Repo: BATTLEGROUND 2

Bit late with getting this repo up on the site, after a very busy summer. I finally have some time for myself to return to riding and updating the site regularly. Hope you all enjoy this one!

As I boarded my first flight home from the FA Battleground contest, I planned to start writing a report on the event for the site. Then, over the tannoy, we were told that we were unable to land in Chicago because of a thunderstorm. Off to Indianapolis we went, to wait until we could land in Chicago. I thought to myself, was this trip all worth it? The flight home was already delayed by twenty-four hours, and now was going to be even longer.
The Battleground contest had a real family community vibe that we really need right now. As this event clashed with the Olympics, I thought to myself, what do we really need to help the sport grow? More events? More jams? Better communication between riders? What is it that holds us back?
