The AM Flatland Circuit is finally here!  Steve Lapsley, the organizer and creator of the circuit is working hard to get the circuit moving, and we just helped Steve launch the new site for the circuit.

The AM Flatland Circuit will be kicking off its inaugural season at one of the most unique and exciting contests of the year, Indianapolis’ RedBull Fight With Flight at the end of January.  Three other events will be part of the circuit, which you can get more info about on the new site.  Visit the site at www.amflatlandcircuit.com.

Here is a message from Hector (Dunamis Designs): "The AM Flatland Circuit is finally here! There has been a demand for structure within the amateur flatland scene and this is the result!  Steve Lapsley, the organizer and creator of the circuit is working hard to get the circuit moving, and a new site for the circuit has just been launched with the help of Hector Garcia and Dunamis Media.

You guys thought this ranking system out.  Good job.  Great to see the sponsors and prizes.
Would be wonderful to have beginners/intermediate/novice rankings too someday. 

The ranking system was thoroughly thought out.  I hope you guys like it.  I feel it will create a very fair circuit!

I am very thankful to those sponsoring/supporting the AM Circuit!  I feel that the Grand Prize is something alot of riders will look to strive for, and I can't thank MTF more for their support.

As for Novice, beginner, intermediate classes...In the future these are things I have thought of.  The problem is there are not enough contests who have these classes.  I hope that this is something that could be added in the future though.

Oh...would be wonderful to see a media section too.  Like for video and pictures of the AMs.

Not trying to sound demanding...just thought it would be cool to see some of the AMs get the exposure too.

There may not be a media section, however, in the blog section videos will often be added as well as a "Featured Video" section which will change every now and then also!  After each event we will also try to get videos added to the "Events" section that the videos were from.


Please check out the site for those who haven't and leave some comments here and also hype it to your friends who may have missed it!!

Don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but why are all of the events during the first three months of the year? During the winter?

Some of us have to work, and can't necessarily get that kind of time off.

This is great!!!  I wish there was a pro circuit in the US.

I think first you need competing Pro's and right now that are no competing pro's in the USA.
Great way to build things up is from the bottom. This is a great thing!

Thanks Matt!  It means a lot to hear this from Pros!

Thanks Scott!  Your World Circuit was obviously a HUGE motivator and got me interested in doing this.  I am super excited to see where it goes from here...  I am hoping that if the AM Circuit succeeds then it could be a factor in helping top AMs decide to turn pro and not be so intimidated to compete at a top level!  As a result... more competeing pros in North America!!

I'm stoked! 4 contests, a solid framework, a nice website. This is so good for flatland! I'm hoping to go to at least 2 of these to show support.

Making it out to 2 is better than none!!  I am really excited and appreciative of the contests who have agreed to be a part of this.  The best part is each contest keeps its own identity and has its own unique vibe.  The AM Circuit is just along for the ride!! 

Another thing on the topic of only making 2 events... I think that with how the point system works, you can, and are going to have, riders who only make 2 or 3 events but still will place very well in the overall standings!
