Martti Kuoppa launches the Groundtactics online video contest website!!

Martti Kuoppa is a leader. Years ago in a magazine, I think it was Ride uk, I called him the leader of the new school, the name has stuck, but this guy leads more than just the riding, now he gives something back, and gives others the chance to shine, ask yourself a question? What is flatland about? What got you into it? What are the best feelings about it? Time and time again, I hear people say the "creative process" of coming up with something thats your own, and capturing it. You could be that rider, out there and without knowing it inspire many others. Its the creative riders that stand out from the pack.

Heres what Martti had to say about the launch:
"I really want to my best to support the younger riders out there. I want to show them the right way which I understood a long time after my crazy years in success. It is not always easy to be in the spotlight, and thats why I want to show the younger generation the right positive way to handle things. (edit) Riders be greatful for what you have now.Also show some respect and learn some new styles/tricks. We are out here just to help you out, not to profit.Let's go together to the next level of flatland, and save the whole thing!! Thanks!! "

Check the site, which looks dialled!!! Bios from Marrti, Viki and Chad. Look under competition to see what we are looking for!!
Get riding, get creative!! Im psyched on this!!

KGB/Intrikat Online contest

Martti and Chad are working hard to bring flatland back to what its all about, hard tricks and creation. This online contest will hopefully bring some crazy progression and push the sport to new levels and bring out some new talent for the online commuinty to see, yours truly is helping judge this, which im pretty stoked on.Let me finsih by saying this is just the start, Martti has bigger stuff planned for next year already, that will be released soon!

Dear pro rider/friend/company owner/business men,
please find on the flyer what me and Chad Johnston has been up to lately. As you can see that we really care for the future of flatland and we want to see it going to a positive direction. And what would be the best way to make things happen in a worldwide scale? Internet competition. That makes it possible for poor and rich riders all over the world to be part of it and show their skills.
As we all know the size of flatland scene pretty much then you realize that we are not after big benefits out of this project. We want to help. We want to push people to go next level and talk to their friends to get involved in flatland.
So, why I write you all this?
It is because now I am offering you a fair change to be a partner in this project. You can be involved as a sponsor with your company. You can be involved as a supporter (you get your name mentioned on our website along with a photo) or you can be just a hang around guy. We do not require oblications from you. Just if we can use your name/company name on the sponsor/supporter/friend list on our website and if you feel like donating something you can do so and the rider at the end will remember who donated.

Ok. There is one more thing I need to ask if you would like to be part of this. It is 50 EUR entry from you. The riders don´t need to pay to enter but as we all have been to the scene long time and we all have some other things going on in life besides hardcore riding only I know that all the guys can afford 50 EUR. If not, then donate smaller amount. I am cool with any donation (if you are rich, donate more and you get a special award).

But the reason to get this 50 EUROS is that we want to pay the plane ticket to the winner of this competition to a big pro competition where he/she can proove his/her skills.
I could get this plane ticket money from a bigger corporate companies but to be honest, I do not want such image for this one. This is strictly from riders to riders competition. We share good things in life.

Please e mail me your answer by 25th of august and after that date we are ready to roll and launch our own website.

I really appreciate your help in this one and hope your participance!
Best regards,
Martti

Showriding with Matt Wilhelm

In keeping with the interview with trevlon hall, and grassroots flatland, noone promotes flatland quite like Matt Wilhelm, check this out, this is great for promoting flatland in schools, Matt is constantly on the road, he commentates himself, that in itself is pretty rad.

Trevlon Hall talks about the grand opening of the worlds first official flatland park!

So trevlon I guess the first question is how did the opening go? How many people showed up? How much media coverage did the opening recieve?

The opening was awesome. This was basically the layout..
1) Our National anthem.
2) Words of blessings from a Reputable Pastor in the community.
3) Video presentation with Bmx Flatland to help the audience understand more about our sport and its magnitude internationally.
4) Jesse Puente spoke about bmx flatland and infrastructure.
5) Alain Massabova Spoke about bmx flatland and infrastructure.
6) Trevlon's first Sponsor (Algico Insurance Manager - Victor Copeland) speaks to the audience on how he meet Trevlon and his growth over the years.
8) Trevlon Hall Speaks to the audience about his humble beginnings, the magnitude of the FlatPark accomplishment and his future plans for continued infrastructural development.
9) Government official cuts ribbon with Trevlon and officially declares the FlatPark open.
10) Flatland demo begins and everyone has fun until close off.

The above was basically how everything went. I designed it to be educational to the audience which consisted of corporate entities, government officials, parents, kids and enthusiast to say the least. I only catered for 200 people based on my budget and there was roughly that amount.
Every major media network in Trinidad and Tobago was on hand to cover. So although there was roughly 200 people at the opening - over 800 000 people saw it on National TV and heard positives about flatland on the radio.
My intention was to get as much people informed as possible. and Our local media did an awesome Job at it.

There is already an overwhelming increase in interest since the launch. I get phone calls and emails everyday from young people who are very interested in flatland. It's ample evidence for me to acknowledge that I am in the right direction and I will continue to build from an infrastructural stand point.

Wow, I would love to hear Jesse's speech, we you briefing Jesse and Alain, or was that totally freestyle on their behalfs?

Jesse openly said to the crowd,"Trevlon is like obama, he said yes we can..and he did it, I got Trevlon's Back". That was one of Jesse's lines. Jesse also said it's a really big thing and everyone will benefit, it's something that has never been done before on the planet.

Though Alain is French he did a very good job of getting some points across in English at the launch. Alain said," it's a dream come through and I am very happy to be a part".

I did not brief Neither Jesse or Alain, they freestyled with their words directly from heart. Both has been to many countries and respected the reality of the achievement.

I will drop a video soon with some of their lines.



Maybe a bit early to say, but since the parks opening, or even around its buzz of opening, are there many kids taking interest?

There is a far bigger interest now. With all the media and the buzz... My phone is ringing twice as much. Parents, kids and companies who want to advertise in the FlatPark. I saw the positive influx from day 1 in my visions and its happening.
I have locks on the area to keep vandalizers away from the ground. Before I opened the gates yesterday 2 kids in desperation to start flatlanding Jumped the fencing. Since the launch I am seeing new faces and faces who were there in the past returning.
I will only get bigger from here as I am planning major stuff with all my sponsors. Let me re-phase the term sponsor to investors. My projects are long term and investors are happy to be a part of projects that grow and take on brighter life.

A home adds monumental life to our sport and will generate an income which will go directly back into our sport. In other words Trevlon understands the secret of advertising & marketing. I am not here to take from flatland but to give to it. And how is that done? The Ground is situated very close to a high school and in the mist of a thriving residential community.
It's a gold mine location. Advertisers understand the power of that. My corporate & government support is growing faster and faster. I am a person of principal and great ideas. Serious Investors like organized people with projects that illustrate massive potential.

I will bring a book to flatland in the near future so others can learn some secrets. Literature is very, very important!

Anyways, There is already an amazing build up and it's only several days after....just imagine the scope in years to come as I continue to focus deeply and act passionately on infrastructure. I spend more time on infrastructure than on riding. I know that someone has too sacrifice the time for the sport to grow. As time go by the scene will mature with a proper foundation. This is how sk8Parks and Bmx Parks are thriving..they got organized and have homes that identify with their sport.

Mahatma Gandhi said it nicely, "Be the change you want to see in life". I don't like talking without serious action. I like to get things done and hang around people with great vision that get things done. I know people from their fruits and if your not bearing it's enough evidence for me to understand the tree.
If I was a contest Junkie there would be no future for the sport in Trinidad and Tobago. And my actions will benefit even beyond our little island. Contest is great, but I have gifts that will add massive life to the sport and I will continue to do what I am doing. I am in this sport for life! Time is very, very important too me so I have to spend it wisely. What you think and do most you become!
Contest is only one part of infrastructure. There are other pertinent segments that I will continue to build and after years of momentum many will see the fruits of my labor as it blossoms through reality.

Many riders came into flatland and left flatland only leaving trick concepts behind. A deeper sense of giving to our sport needs to be done - infrastructure. And as infrastructure matures... generations to come will be happy that we sacrificed with our lives. As I always say..everyone has different gifts and will bring different gifts to flatland. I will sacrifice my life developing infrastructure so others will have life ........


Lets keep this short trevlon, so the opening and all of the work must have effected your riding time a lot!!!! are you back to riding normal hours now? Whats that been like for you?
My riding hours have been shortened with all that I have going on. But I will return to at least 4 days of riding as soon as I get certain elements in order and I am almost there. My sacrifice is for a bigger picture so I am not really stressing the riding. Thanks again effraim for taking the time!

Ucchie Ucchie!!!!! Killed the backwheel, check the videos, unreal flow, no scuffs,originality, style, he has it all!!


The 2009 World Circuit champion, has almost had a complete swoop on all the big contests this year, two footed backwards spinning death truck ala Foaksey.


So I'm guessing your pretty tired after the weekend Scott? Are you happy with how it went?
Yes after dropping of the last guy at the airport yesterday I went for some dinner with my family then I fell to sleep and woke up 14 hours later. Crazy!
Yes I was very happy with it.
It's pretty evident from your "is it worth it" post that you are puzzled as to lack of support ESP from American riders? Has much come of your post?
Yes the post pretty much shows my frustration and it has been this way for about 3 years. Its just now that I actually have said something. I don't get it really?
As to what has come of my post is a few email but not much. Pretty much standard for the USA Pro/Master class rider. I guess they are all just happy with what they have in the internet and at there home town so whatever.

We watched the contest in silence haha which is another story.. Any personal highlights for you this year?
Terry's qualifying run was really awesome. Issiah Jordan, Diego Tejada and all of the Expert class was dope. They deserve more and I wish I could give it to them. The freaking crowd was the highlight as well. Those people are crazy for Flatland. They come every year and go nuts!

With the lack of support in some areas do you feel like you are fighting an up hill battle?
I guess anyone would feel that way a bit. But every year we just seem to make it happen. Who knows what the next year will bring.

On a different perspective to the lack of American riders, does it matter when voodoo is part of the world circuit?
Of course it does. The BMFWC is being watched by a lot of people. More than you can all imagine. There is plenty of opportunity for sponsors and riders alike.

Shintaro Misawa is overlooked by many, effortless tech style from one of the worlds finest, just went out to Ucchie in a tight battle.


One of the main points for me, I've set there as a judge and as a rider, so I feel like I can comment on this, there needs to be some guidelines set as to what is a pro rider, and it should be more of a challenge to get into the pro class? It should be a prestigious thing you know, a big deal! Its about quality not quantity…
If people had to qualify to be a Pro then we would have a contest of 3 guys. No one would even participate but a few guys. And what contest are the bases of this qualifications? What riders are going to participate? We just might run off even more riders. While I do totally agree with you, I think for now the riding speaks for itself if you are a Pro. I think if we start this then even less riders will ride in contest.
Then again maybe its the answer, I am just not sure. There is so much uncertainty that its a bit scary. Like things are going underground. It seems as though we just do not have enough riders to worry about that right now. We just need a solid foundation of contest to grow on at the moment. We need to concentrate on actually keeping this alive and riders entering Pro that are not Pro is not that big of a problem at the moment.
I really dont know, but I will be thinking about it and I need some time to process my thoughts on everything.
I have a question for you. So you would not qualify as a Pro because you did not even compete this year? Just curious?
What would you say to be the start for the whole qualifying as a pro? Because we have to start somewhere.

I would agree with that, and I think the same goes for other riders there has to be some guidelines and prestige to being a pro. I cant be about a riders ego, thats nonsense..Last year I was ranked 2nd in the uk groundroot series, and I was working towards a system whereby riders can't just turn up and ride pro. Whats wrong with having a banging am class..this year at the worlds we were going to have a qualifying round for guys who wanted to be in pro that weren't top 30 in the world. It's not about quantity but quality.This will help the sport grow, its too easy right now. Maybe a qualifying round or something like that would be the answer, it is going more and more underground because people are happy to sit at home and watch it live on the Internet, almost like why pay $2000 to go to voodoo when you can watch it for free. The rankings is a good incentive, seeding the riders for battles, I think it brings more to the sport. What do you think of that?

I think your points are great but my brain is hurting now and im going to ride my bike.

I love you! ****! (censored)

Ucchie vs Shintaro, brings an interesting topic, Ucchie is regarded as the more stylish, but is Shintaro effortless pivot switching with smooth buttery not style as well? Dont get me wrong I love Ucchie's riding, he pipped this battle for me, but are riders such as Shintaro getting overlooked? Lets hear your opinion..

Then headed out for beers, upon returning to sams apartment we watched the voodoo jam live with no sound, one of funniest nights ever!!!Today we have rode a ton doing shows for Skyride, a Sky and British Cycling concept which aims to get one million people on bikes by 2013.., Whitey and Sam were going off!!! Non stop sessions all day, and boy we are feeling it now!! enjoy the photos, the banter will live on forever!
