This may be a long shot but is there any Flatland riders in Augusta Ga?

Is Greenville S.C. too far for you?

Hello, It is on the far side for me. 3hr ride but maybe worth a trip one day. Are there any jams in the Southeast? I have been doing some research and it seems like Athens Ga was once a popular place for flatland.

We have jams in NC all the time, sometimes in Charlotte NC which is 2 1/2 but could be doable. We also have the annual AFA flatland contest in Winston-Salem that just happened.
You look like Marty McFly!

Athens has some EXCELLENT riders. Dane Beardsley and Jody Temple live there. John Dowker still has some roots there and Kent Pearson is still based there too (I think he mainly rides park now though.)
Shayne Khajenoori just moved back to GA and is based near Covington.

I ended up meeting some riders/legends the other day. It was amazing to see in person. I am totally mind blown! Flatland in Georgia is still alive and well.  B)
