... You never see the ramp riders complaining that there wasn't an national contest caliber spine ramp or a 15 foot long box or something.
I wish more people would've entered. There were a few people who came from out of town and never even got near the contest site. That sucks considering John put a lot of time into making the contest happen. If no one enters or at least comes out to show support than there won't be any more contests. It seems like a lot of guys in flatland won't enter unless the area is EXACTLY like what they ride on at home, otherwise they dismiss the whole thing as lame. I know the spot wasn't all that great but I'd rather have a contest with a bad area to ride in than no contest at all. You never see the ramp riders complaining that there wasn't an national contest caliber spine ramp or a 15 foot long box or something.Flatland in the club would've been cool but riding outside with all the activity around was really fun. Lots of people who would've never otherwise seen riding got to see it up close.

Not complaining about Dowkers huge effort either. Hell not even criticism in reality. Everyone who entered seamed to have fun.It was exactly like a 89 AFA contest without uniforms and helmets.You cant compare the Athens comp with any other contest realy. ITs not like Voodoo. Its a chance to promote flat sure...but I know people that diss big 100% real flatland contest's with perfect floors for every reason other than the actual venue. and worse they havent EVEN BEEN to any of that venue.
