Dom and Matthias look thrilled π
Yea Matthias seems to have a issue with getting anything other than 1st place. He’s a bad sport. He just gave away a 2nd place trophy at a comp because he didnt want it. The arrogance is blinding
let’s just give props to all theses pro riders, they all deserve first place to me. Peace
I agree with Julien, but I was thinking maybe he was just mad hungover from his BDAY partay.
wonder what street moves Matthias did ?

Wow! That was an impressive run by Viki!
Howard you are oldschool, aren’t you ? will you please stop making silly comments
it’s good to see such a large audience of non-riders, everyday people watching flatland. you see kids in the front row, maybe one of them will have the inspiration to take up flatland riding in a few years after having seen this ! Tying back to what Effraim said about that matter in FWbTV the other day.
That was cool Julien. Hopefully we’re seeing future flatlanders in that crowd π
Wow….after watching the video I gotta take my comment back. While what I said is the truth from experience, i agree with their expressions in this photo! As insane as vicky’s run was….he didn’t land it. I would have awarded Matthias 1st….for once he didnt do the same old crap and really pushed himself and kept it going. That was a REALLY good run.
As for Matthias doing ‘street’ moves….last time I checked he was riding the same flatground area as every other rider. Just because flatlanders did not embrace the mainstream concept of barspins and hopwhips as fast as street riders does not make the progression of the sport any less ‘flatland’, instead one could argue that we were behind the curve on these moves. I’ve often wondered why barspins are considered ‘street’ when kickflips are not? The word your looking for howard is “Influenced” , e.g. “Did Matthias do many ‘street influenced’ moves?”
I would recommend watching Hiro do hopwhips from front wheel to back wheel all around the comp floor in his runs. Pegs pedals no matter….shit’s straight insane.
I don’t like to comment on stuf like this, but sometimes I almost have to. One reason why all the judgemental comments and opinions about contest results can’t be taken seriously is because too many people complain about placings and orders and don’t even know what happened. Only because you saw some footage of an event doesn’t mean you know everything. In case of this event, do you really think that one link we saw of Dominik, Matthias and Vicki were the only tricks done in the final? Really? If not, how do you think you can comment on the result?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t know what happened at Bike Days, and even if I did know I wouldn’t like to comment, because I know what it’s like to judge when you’re there and have to make the call. It is a very difficult task in most cases!
i wish we could have flatland without any competitions. I personally don’t care who is first or last,some of my favorite riders are not even in the “top ten”, so what is the use of comparing riders all the time ? Riders can be leaders, role models, without competition. I know there is a lot of say about that idea, good and bad things, but it’s worth discussing.
I don’t think anybody gets forced to compete. Some people are competitive, some want to be the best. Each to their own!
Stroof! I wish I could ride like that…while hungover as… HBD to the lad!
no Hollande i am no school and any comments i make is my intitlement so please shut up ,fact is Matthias does street moves FACT .and Fontedot i’m not looking for any word he does street moves on the flat ,are you blind or stupid ?
Tell you what i’ll go out and do 180’s on the flat every day ,is that “influenced” or ” actual ” street ,didn’t realise their was a mainstream concept in flatland thought their were no rules ? make your own mind up i’ve made my bro .
opinions differ and my comment Hollande or Netherland or whatever you are regardless of my age that is ageism pure discrimination watch your words son that is not good ,guess a democratic opinion does not matter as usual ,and what are “hopwhips” Fonty they are called “WHOPPERS” a flatland trick JEEZ remember Bill Nitschke A FLATLAND RIDER1990 no thought not.
kickflips are street remember Joe “BUTCHER” Kowalski, John “LUC-E” Engleburt ,Mike Griffin etc pure street ,where you been for the last 15-20 years.

lol@ how angry Howard is, hahaha.
If a hop bar, hop whip, or 180 are done on flat ground, how could it not be considered a flatland trick?

Wow…..someone needs to lay off the bottle. I wont bother reading any of that ……funny how much this reminds me of someone i know……
Prasheel said it exactly the way it is. Tricks on flat are flat. Factual statement. End of story no drunken british ramblings required.
Mike S you are correct. I did not see all the runs and made an assumption. Perhaps vicky landed a killer link right before thay run and maybe thats why he won.
Howard, a lame “clown full of hate” and this ain’t Stray bikes
Fontedott don’t drink bro never have so i just made you look stupid moron, and as for my old mate HOLLANDE quoting bike videos is as lame as it geys ,i mean why bother ?? hahaha jerk
HOLLANDE you really are a sucker for punishment haha and SEAN marry PRASHEEL if you value his comments so much ,sad git,
