Red Bull Flatland Clinic by Matthias
« on: May 10, 2009, 04:04:35 PM »
Red Bull Flatland Clinic is over! It took place on saturday and it was awesome! The concept was pretty simple, 4 pro riders that teach tricks to amateurs. There were 50 riders. All of them had to fill a paper with their names, their level (amateur, expert or master), their style of tricks and of course the tricks they wanted to learn today. In this way we ´ve made a pre-districution of the riders. For example Ucchie ride on backwheel, he had mainly backwheel riders. We arrived on the event place this morning and It was HUUUUGGE! A old fashionned warehouse that was customized by Red Bull! It was big enough to receipt the riders, the teachers, and of course the sampling girls! I found out I had to teach tricks to 15 kids. None of them where speaking english... uhhh. But heh, you know when it´s Red Bull there are no problems,I  had a translator all day long with me, so no problem of comprehension. Awesome. The days went like this: 1 clinic of 2 hours, lunch, another 2 hours clinic, and a jam, with many entertaining games like Bunny Hop contest, one wheel contest, relay.. The day finished with a small after party with a quiz on BMX and the photos of the day that was reviewed on a hugescreen. I had a awesome day, all of my student learned one tricks and they were pretty stoked. I can´t wait for the next one!

Fact is, freestyle riding was, is, and will always be evolving and moving in different directions. So just do what you want and have fun with it. Trends come and go.- TYRONE WILLIAMS

note parking lot=cars/vehicles,tennis court=tennis,basketball court=basketball,hockey rink=hockey,skateboard park=skateboards,flatpark=???????????

time to start lobbying to get a spot geared to flatland traing/practice/events in each town........life would be easier and riders would be easier to find......just a third world thought....
