Is this that frame we saw melting at some contest a few weeks ago? Or is it the same geometry but now in alloy?

Nope, that's the one! And what made you think Martti broke a chromoly one? He broke an aluminum frame. A chromoly version of this frame doesn't exist!
Why is it that you misread things all the time? Do yourself a favor and stop misinterpreting things! :P ;D -_-

If so, can this be the return of alloy to flatland frames? 1Kg? Would it hold?

Simple questions, simple answers: No, and no!

... snapped clean in half at a comp.... ^_^

Nope!
You can see the down tube snap at 2:29

Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

Viki? Martti's the one who destroyed the frame in the video. He's the shirtless guy. He swatted Viki away. ;)

Viki broke the Palmero proto at Flatground 2006.

for kgb fans, fear not. heard it on the local flatland grapevine:
both martti and vicki will be running their own independent companies.
martti's already test riding a prototype frame, probly be one of the first product from his new company,

anyways, both are great riders and i wish them all the best.
