I´m sure I´ve said it before, but this month´s ROTM has to be my favourite so far...
´CHICKEN BOY´ from Vietnam has such a great style and outlook on life, that you can´t help but love him... Everything from Tanh´s bike set-up to his humour and dress sesnse make me smile. We need more people like this in Flatland.  Oh, and did I mention that he´s been on national TV in Vietnam too?  Flatland on national TV!?!

I hope you all enjoy reading his interview as much as I have... it´s put a big smile on my face!  (A personal PS: BIG thanks to Paul Chamberlain for getting the questions and photos together - I couldn´t have done it without you!) 

Interview: Chicken Boy from Vietnam

Age: 17 in Vietnam and 16 ‘western’ standards


wtf? someone explain!

ok Wouter here is the deal. babies (in general) stay for about 9 months in their mother before they are born out so in asia countries, they count that 9 months add to the actual age after birth. so it is almost 1 more year to add to actual age.
p/s: this Chicken boy is lying tho lol. hes actually over 17 and if plus the "mother age" he is now 18  . I used to have video battles with him when i was in Vietnam. Hes one year older than me
anyway, props to that guy !   Im glad Vietnam's flatland scene has been known

We need a video

I guess his age was lost in translation. I had difficulty trying to find out how old he was.

There are lots of good riders in Saigon. I guess Chicken is the best because he can do front and backwheel but Phuoc's pretty good, Nam too, One also and another guy who's a bit older can do crazy backwards pumping sh*t on the front wheel that's different to anything I saw before.

That is such a great shot (iron man mask and bmx tag), love it!

@Paul: I believe hes Hoa and he does the inside pumping steamroller i think

Yeah it's Hoa - I forgot his name. He's does it with a footswitch that looks like it will go to halfpacker soon.

That is such a great shot (iron man mask and bmx tag), love it!

One of the young riders in Ho Chi Minh City took that - his name is One. He is learning to be a photographer. I love that picture too.

Chicken Boy seems really rad, glad he's rider of the month!

Me too. Reall stoked to have the opportunity to make it happen. He's a good friend.

Add him on Facebook to see more of his 'interesting' pics!
