After all those contest news it´s time for some mixed news ...

Irina Sadovnik is now on Zion Bikes
Red Bull put a selection of Photos of Matthias USA trip online.
Rob Alton started doing tshirts called "Flatland Evolution". Check out the

promo vid

.
German flatland girl Monika Hinz started a blog on her photography: himopic.blogspot.com. Good stuff!

FISE videos: there isn´t a lot of footage online yet. For now you can check out the VANS edit, the

flatland chainsaw massacre

(starting at 3:30) and some

highlights of the finals

(starting at 2:30). Update: agoride video.

I'm always suprised by the sheer size of the crowds at FISE. Epic! 

Based on the videos that's most likely the biggest crowd for flatland I've ever seen! They seemed to have fun and cheered a lot too. Good stuff!

It was definitely a huge crowd and I guess if there was more space to sit and watch then even more people would have been there ..
