Best known as the 'Super Bowl of Flatland BMX', Red Bull Circle of Balance returned for the fifth iteration of the event after a 10-year hiatus with Canadian Jean William Prévost crowned champion at the US debut of the global event. Here is all you need to know:
- Sixteen hand-selected athletes from nine countries went head-to-head in the bracket-style competition at New Orleans' iconic Mardi Gras World in front of over 500 spectators as global viewers tuned in live on Red Bull TV.
- American riders performed larger than life tricks, European athletes brought style and steeze, and Japanese participants demonstrated technical precision in the ultimate showcase of sport.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
