A few Q&A's on the COB with flatland pro Alexandre Jumelin from Paris, France.

Have you entered a Red Bull Circle of Balance competition before?
Alex: Yes, 2 times.

Do you think it's right that the event is taking place in Japan this time?
Alex: This is the perfect place to organize this comp.

Do you believe that Japan is the country where flatland is most popular?
Alex: Maybe

Do you have an idea why?
Alex: I like the style of the Japanese riders, they have good clothes when they ride. That's why it's more fashion there and so much more popular.

How crazy do you think the crowd will go when the battles start?
Alex: I hope crazier than ever.

Does anyone in this rider group have a chance to win or do you have a favorite for the victory?
Alex: No comment.

How stoked are you to be chosen to ride at the COB?
Alex: I think I'm very lucky to be part of this comp. I need to prove to the organizer that I deserve to be there.

Thanks to: Red Bull of course
