Thanks to this site I found out about this contest. Any idea on how much flatland stuff will get going on there? Website doesn't have any more info then here.
I'd like to check this out but if there isn't going to be much flatland going on I was thinking maybe we could all ride somewhere that day or something?

I actually found out yesturday too. I wanted to help promote it so I took what info I could from the Empire site. I like the idea you have about Contest Section so if anyone has a contest to promote or something like that it can be easily found. I think its going to be a park contest..but I don't know for sure. I guess I can email Tom and find out more info. I am planning on being there!!!
David W was telling me there is something happening in SA soon too. More details to follow!!!

Even if there is no flat contest...I will be there. I am pretty sure other flatlanders will be there too. I really need to get my back rim trued by then too. I am going to email Tom in just a bit. I just finished creating a New Catagory..but I dont see a way to move this thread to the new spot...oooo well life will go on.

I just heard back from Tina. There will be no flat stuff going on. I still want to go though, have a bike...can ride. I have always wanted to try and ride a ramp...I don't think I would...but I have always wanted to. I some times ride hills and spin 180's. I think it will be a good time!!!!

The contest is happening here in Austin. Its a park contest with no flat. Unlike the Elevation contest there will not be any open riding either. 5 Dollar Admission per person. I was thinking after the contest maybe we could find a spot and ride for a few hours. Even though I can't ride in the park I still want to record some of the riding because you know its going to be good!!!!! The day of the Contest is Febraury 27. I got all the info from the link on the main page to www.austinskatepark.com so there is the scoop!!! Mark

They were doing some things that were compleatly AMAZING!! There was this kid that rode begginer. He was 12 year old and he defintaly got the crowd going. He remided me of a young Matt Hoffman. Way to go Johnothan!!! I have a bunch of video..some good some bad...some wickedly good. It will take awhile to get it all together but you can be sure I will!!! Thanks to www.empierbmx.com for there support of BMX. Tom and Tina really Rock!!! Keep on Riding!!! Mark

I am uploading new video as I type this. Video from the Contest that I have put together for your pleasure!!!! It was a exciting contest. I wish I had more footage to show but battery life and tape supply are limited. But I got a few good shots. The event was ALL DAY LONG so there was no way to get everything...ha ha ha!!! This event happens every year so I hope to see some of you next year!!! Mark www.bmxfreestyler.com/video.html
