Twilight Jam Flatland
You know, this really wasn't so much a "flatland" comp as it was a "bumpyland on a slight incline" comp, that gave plenty of people fits as far as pulling of their bangers. That being said, the riding was still pretty phenomenal.
I'm going to say that Mssr. Behnke is doing a can-can and leave it at that.
"Jo(h)n" ("Joe"? "Mike"? "Bjorn"?)
Dowker doing one of his crazy whiplash/tailwhip links. This kid really is
the modern day Chris Day. Except Canadian. And living in Athens, Ga.
See, he's got his feet as far away as possible on the bike.That's tricky
right there.
This dude is called "Frenchie," or "Herre Bike Number Two."
Here' he's hanging nothing, but I think he's really hanging on for dear
life.
I'm waiting for a flatlander to just come out on a unicycle, really.
Still, a lot of tattoos. Seriously, couldn't somebody do a Miami Hop-Hop
or something?
What you don't see here is the part where he's constantly juggling the back
of the bike around his body. Or my jealousy over his dreads. Stupid bad
hair genes
You can really only use the Sultans of Swing joke once, which is a shame.
The Sultan of Flatland doing something crossleggedy
The longest, slowest hang nothing ever. Up hill, in the snow, both ways.
360 bunny hop by a flat rider, he won the am class too.
Did you know that flatlanders lose their powers if they're not exposed to a steady stream of breakbeats? It's true. DJ Metronome played it dangerous by dropping "Tom Sawyer" into the middle of the jam.
There was a lot more action, but anybody who shoots digital knows the frustration of hitting your camera's buffer limit while stuff's happening. There were points when I literally couldn't take pictures, even though something a-mazing was going down. Sorry kids, but if you cared that much you would've showed up.
