We just ran a flatland contest, which was very nice, the level was amazing. The winner was Leo Claro, who got second at the Brasil X Games in 2002. He rode perfect he took a session pegless, almost impossible to believe. Second was
Bruno Zebu with a new style of tricks, very very flow, the third was
Gilson de Souza, almost integrated his body with the bike, so the contest was a kind of selection for the contest we're gonna run in February, during the carnival, we got 30 riders among the place and 20 participated.
We got here in Brazil a flatlander called
Sergio Ricardo Balu who is a wonderful rider, with the most updated tricks although he got only the sixth place, and
Lisias who won the last flatland contest got the seventh. The 3 Judges were
Hiroshi he just came from Japan, the master rider
Claylson Claybon and the head judge
Andre Ramon who knows everything about flatland.
