I am very curious to see your worlds best top ten riders list. It would be a bunch of old heads that have proven themselves throughout the years to be versatile in all types of flat. The kind of guys who have done or can do pretty much everything. It's just MY opinion, nothing more, nothing less.People like Jones, Gouin, DeGroot, Steingrabber, Meyer, etc...

What do you mean DESERVED? I don't like that word. Sure, Justin could be thrown in the mix and fit in. Red Bull is putting on a contest. They get to pick the riders. There is no qualifying. It's a private party. Maybe it's their loss that he won't be there.I have nothing against Justin. This topic just gets me because everyone is getting so worked up over a frickin' contest and who's invited and who isn't. WHO CARES? Does it impact YOU? If you don't like it, ignore it. Don't make up drama. There is no conspiracy against Justin or flatland. It is what it is. The only people that DESERVE to give a crap are Justin and his wife. They are the ones directly effected. This is as bad as a bunch of drunks at a bar arguing over who the best quarterback is.
I care about flatland but I don't see the big deal. A private contest invited who they want. If it was a big deal concerning who shows up and who isn't, everyone would boycott. As long as big money is being thrown out there, people will show.It's just like the X Games. Everyone invited figured they would cash in while they could. It's a big contest but ramp guys don't complain who is or isn't there. Contests, sponsors, video parts, the internet isn't flatland. Riding your bike in a parking lot is flatland.
