Flatland

Joined: A long time ago...

BRING IT ON: Now a good song by Nick Cave but one of his more commercial songs, but lends itself good to Effraim Catlow's RideBMX (Uk edition) article Oct/Nov., I just read, so not sure if this was discussed in pedal, anyway I'll bring it in. One could say that was nice they allowed something of Flatring in their Mag, or one could say they could do more of an article than one page with those tiny images of some outstanding riding. This was an incredible event and thought out space presented by Cream Mag, respects to Alex Jumelin, and Vans stepping up for flatland is cool. It doesn't matter what part of the world this occurred but BMX mags should have done justice to giving more than a crammed page review along with whatever they could squeeze in about Flatland. I recently viewed some footage of the Voodoo Jam( some you know how I love that word, its spells for everything insane) that too should have gotten good write up and non squinty eye pics in major BMX Rags. So not sure if this is a case of advertisers getting the fill after all they pay the PM bills or the great need to revert usual seller of BMX riding, vert, street, dirt: the 3 amigos or Stop/Go, Up/Down, no circular motion unless turning or in the air. Its pathetic because going in a circle( we all know circle has no beginning nor end, so more revolutionary since so many variations can exist and be created in a blink of an eye) unfortunately is meaningless to many. If outwitting challenges came into play at the Flatring that must've been amazing, making for a real battle, manifesting art of war. Was this new to a comp? I have not brought on how I really feel about that short take on The FLATRING, so I'll subside it might get embarrassing not for me but for some other people. So have a take and lets bring it on.......
