The DownUnderGround national bmx flatland contest series has been kicking it around Australia since 2008. Freestyle Now is proud to be one of the main supporters of the contest series. In January round 1 of series 5 took place in Sydney. It was a crazy weekend. Lots of good times with many friends from around Australia and the world. The day before the contest Sydney had one of the hottest days on record topping at 45.8 degrees. On top of that it poured down with rain on the same afternoon. On the day of the contest it was hot and half way through the day the contest was put on hold while the rain came down. Freestyle Now Squad members Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis, Jason Parker and Billy Brooks all attended the contest. Here is the contest video all shot and edits by our resident video main man Billy Brooks. Enjoy.
Round 1 of DownUnderGround took place in Sydney on the 19th of January. Freestyle Now squad members Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis, Jason Parker and Billy Brooks were there to participate in the good times. Another rider who always follows the good times in Tasmanian rider Matt Wootton. He was also in Sydney to hang out and ride at DownUnderGround . He was able to film some of the competition as well as the antics that went on during the weekend and the video captures the vibe of the weekend really well. Thanks Matt for getting the video done.
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.
