Newcircle DownUnderground Contest by Shane Badman
« on: November 10, 2009, 06:35:58 PM »
Shane Badman sent a writeup along with a few pics on the DownUnderground contest:

"Ah man I hate early flights. 5.30am at the airport… normally there are better places I would rather be at that time but with the first round of the Newcircle DownUnderground contest happening today I suddenly don´t mind at all.

One 5 hour flight later (& still in the same country!) I arrive in Perth to be met at the airport by Shaun Jarvis with a car full of contest gear that he´s taking to the spot to setup..."

nice write up shane. it was an awesome weekend and it was great to ride with ay and all the other australian riders.
i gotta give a shout out to the supporters of round one - newcircle - freestyle now - rebel yell bmx mag - colony bmx - airwalk. without their support round one would not have been an awesome weekend.

Totally stoked to be able to be a part of this comp and the weekend in general :)

If any of you out there outside of Australia are looking for an excuse to visit Australia during our glorious summer, get urself over to the Land DownUnder for one of the DownUnderGround rounds, held in various states in Australia throughout summer and fall.
There are 3 more rounds to go, most likely being in Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland. 
Accomodation is cheap, or free, and ur always guarenteed a great weekend of riding, partying and a few hours sleep.  :)

Keep an eye on http://flatlandaustralia.blogspot.com/  or  http://flatlandaustralia.com/  for details of the coming rounds.   Next one is late January.

Hey guys,

Nice writeup and awesome work on the event. Seemed like a banger. Unstoked that I missed it but stoked to be following it's progress.

I can't access Facebook or Myspace for pics here in China. Could you guys throw a couple up on here and link to the Facebook group also to guys on here can join up.

Cheers,

Paul

Just to second what Buff said - If anybody wants to come to any events in our series you're more than welcome. We'll hook you up with places to stay, take you surfing, bush walking - wherever you want. We love visitors in Oz.
