Trevlon Hall BMX Freestyle Flatground Opening
« on: August 04, 2009, 10:38:24 PM »
About 10 days ago the first official flatland spot on the planet opened it´s door in Trinidad and Tobago. Great news! Some of you may have followed the story of Trevlon Hall in Cream or online. He fought hard for this project and finally succeeded!

Trevlon was so kind to write an article about the opening event and also sent some articles from the local newspapers.

Any plans for an international contest anytime soon?  That is something I'd be very interested in making it to!

Flatland needs more people like Trevoln, Alain, and Jesse. Flatland is not only about big contests. They are cool, yes, but flatland needs to grow in infrastructure to push more people to get involved in the sport.

Yes, that's true. I had a chat with Trevlon a couple of days ago and he also told me that.

Two things the U.S. will never have: public health care and public flatland spots.  :P

Only 8 f*cking posts??  :angry: Come on people, this is HISTORY! This thread should be full of "thank you Trevlon for making such a BIG thing happen". I guess people are more focused on criticizing things than on giving props to someone who deserves recognition  :angry:

Agreed, Trevlon is doing some MONUMENTAL things, not only for flatland, but in getting the infrastructure built to get the government to build public spots for sports besides tennis and basketball!

Wow!  :mellow: A world first. We need more of this, and more people like Trevlon. Flatland is not a widely recognized sport with finding whatever available flat spot our only option, often considered trespassing. Creating flatland specific riding areas is an outstanding achievment.

Congrats Trevlon, more power to you.  :beer:

Hey Prana...what do you think the possibility would be of us getting a flat only spot in the ATX?  I mean, consider it seriously.  We have one of the biggest flat scenes in North America, not to mention one of the biggest BMX scenes in the world.  I don't think JUST flatlanders could get something built here, but maybe with the full backing of the whole BMX scene we could.  Plus, Austin is very bike friendly.  We don't necessarily have to have our own spot...but what if we really push for a flatland area in any future skateparks built?

I have some friends who skate that really, really pushed for a skatepark to be built here in San Marcos...and they went to all the city council meetings, with the FULL support of a ton of skateboarders.  What if we did things like this?  They got it done after many years of the city saying "no" to them...but they were persistent.  The problem with the skatepark here is that NOT enough BMXer's showed up to make them allow bikes aswell.  Kind of a bummer.

Anywho, I think it's great that Trevlon got this park going.  It's inspirational to see that with enough hard work, you can make things happen.  Would love to see that here.
