The 18th of January will see the Australian flatland scene come together for the start of series 6 of DownUnderGround with round 1 taking place in Sydney at Waverley Park near the famous Bondi Beach. Freestyle Now squad members Jason Parker, Shaun Jarvis and Paul Chamberlain will be attending with fun high on the agenda. Paul took out the 2013 year title in the pro class and will no doubt be looking at riding well in the contest. Both Shaun and Jason have both been placing well in the advanced class at previous contests with Shaun winning round 2 – the video contest late last year. The competition will be tough in both the pro and advanced classes with a large turnout of Australia’s flatland riders expected. It is also hoped that the contest will not only attract flatland riders but other bmx riders as most park and street riders posses a large amount of flatland skills and they don’t even know it. Hang fives, foot jams and manuals are all basic flatland tricks and are all worthy of being done at any of the DownUnderGround contests. The contest is supported by Freestyle Now, Colony and 2020 bmx magazine.
