X-Games BMX Flatland

[Phenom7701]

1997 ESPN X-Games Trials

bicycle-stunt series

5th Place Flatland

Joey (Phenom) Phee

even agrees 100% ESPN should have not gotten rid of bicycle-stunt flatland

for the tv shows

[baldassaredegenes]

i remember that. i fucking remember that.

[elzilcho111]

song at 2:40 ?

[DJOldSoul]

I think I'm going to start a petition to get flatland as a comp. in the Olympics...

[grahambeercanskate]

flatland was awesome, why did they take it away?

[RikDaPrik]

None of this has the flavor the old school-rad-type riders had. Just my opinion, but I dont think it looks as cool. In the 80's it looked like they were break-dancing on their bikes. This may be more advanced, but not as visually appealing and thats why its not in the X-games anymore.

[ErikWithBrain]

Even though I don't ride BMX, I think flatland is awesome. You need so much skill to pull off such stunts; it's a fucking shame X games nixed this event.

[magicman4130]

why isnt this in the x games anymore? its bmx right?now its like 30min of skating and 15min. of street bmx.

[r7ben94]

01:40 - 01:42. there i go: WHAT!?

like the dude say 00:20

[djTA630]

Man, how long ago was this? Flatland definitely needs more exposure. (Still a fan of Matt Wilhelm, btw...) ;)

[Bemasnubben]

Agree, it would be much cooler if it was as big as street or vert.

[Jbkid1991]

I strongly disagree, I mean street and vert riders have so much publicity that they've lost sight of having fun, It's pretty much all about competition now, and with flatland being so low key there are few riders but at the end of the day everyone just wants to have fun and flatland riders are more of a family, However the sport could use some more sponsors, because there are so many terrific riders out there who could use some replacement parts which is always a nessecity in flatland.

[Roneyskona01]

thts rite!!!!!!!!!!!!

an aussie taking gold!!!

well deserved simon!!

[r7ben94]

what does the O in Simon O`Brien mean?

[Giggles132]

its an irish last name like O'conner. :)

[r7ben94]

but now are Simon O`Brien from australia

[BMXtheSHIT]

tis from a scottish family and the clans name was Brien....the O means "from the clan of Brien"

[elzilcho111]

@BMXtheSHIT his last name may be scottish, but hes an aussie. he lives out about 20 mins away from me in old erowal bay

[Smith223]

they really need to bring this back to the x games

[r7ben94]

Simon O BRien is the best!..

So this is a FAVORTE!
