Last weekend round 1 of DownUnderGround the national bmx flatland contest series took place in Sydney. Freestyle Now squad members Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis, Jason Parker and Billy Brooks were there to ride and have fun. The day took a bit of a break when the rain set in for about 2 hours but everyone waited for it to clear and the contest kept rolling.
Paul took out the second place in the pro class just one point ahead of Japanese rider Yasushi Kajiwala but it was flatland icon Simon O’Brien who took out the win. Competing in the advanced class Shaun took 4th place 4 points behind Sydney rider Andrew Lightbody. Jason tied with Tasmanian rider Matt Wootton for 5th place while Billy who is not really a flatland rider, riding with no pegs took out the 7th place, with some great 360 hop combos and manuals.
