  Keep Riding by bmxfreestyler

Lyrics

Endless flatland links that connect one to the next
Destroying your mind with things that are considered to be complex
Never say can’t that is your attitude
Unbridled passion is exactly what pulls you threw
So called challenges is what they are
So called challenges make you shine like a star
Blazing a path for the blue prints of knowledge
Amazing the things you didn’t learn in college
Under an immense intense amount of pressure 
Make it to the top then see how measure
So called friends aren’t friend if they tear you down
Individually you test them all on the ground
Casually you taken them out one by one
Killing them all with out even using a gun
Challenging any one that is ready for battle
Holding on tight ready to jump in the saddle
Inclined to decline the right to withdraw
Looking for every opportunity to make them fall
Dropping competitors making them go wild
Ed Nussbaum owner of Sick Child

Keep riding until the day you die
When you die ride flat on the other side.
Keep riding until the day you die
When you die ride flat on the other side.


Everyone stand up, stand up and recognize
Flatland BMX is doing well and alive
Flatland does matter all across the globe
Rising to the occasion to let every know
All the news and what’s happening across the land
Individually we united and together we stand
Making a mark and points that are validated
Creative content that is not ad orientated
Am to pro are clearly recognized
Total package is complete and not improvised
Look how far we have come in just 2 year
Obstacles don’t get in the way they just stand clear
We are the kings of the ground  
Flat out holding it down
Linking maneuver together with a swirling sound
Always willing and ready for battle to go down
Tactical Combat flat on the ground
Making the impossible logical
Add it all together makes you completely unstoppable
Tricks that that just can’t be topped
Tricks with links that go on for blocks
Endlessly forever because the you won’t stop
Respect is earned and pockets aren’t getting fatter
So raise it up high because Flatland does Matter!


Keep riding until the day you die
When you die ride flat on the other side.
Keep riding until the day you die
When you die ride flat on the other side.


Blowing up flatland so is spreads world wide
On a level of creativity that touches high in the sky
Bringing back footage from the land of the rising sun
Bouncing it off your head until you feeling numb
You try to recreated level you want to obtain
Clearly this obsession can drive you insane
All the while you create your on destiny
Realizing that you have your own complexity
Total control with butter like flow
Endless links that seem to just grow
Repetition is the key obtain perfection
Dialing it in and make another selection
Impossible becomes possible with each and every step
Visualizing in your mind what’s going to happen next
Effortlessly you switch from one link to another
Rising to a level that is like no other
Skills are sharp and on point like a tack
Immediately your video just put you on the map
On top of the world your video is now WORLD WIDE
Now your celebrity status leaves you with no were to hide.

Keep riding until the day you die
When you die ride flat on the other side.
Keep riding until the day you die
When you die ride flat on the other side.

The Launch of The AM (American) Flatland Circuit


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 24, 2011

Media Contact:
Steve Lapsley
Am Flatland Circuit
Cell: (716) 812-1762

** PRESS RELEASE **

The Launch of The AM (American) Flatland Circuit

            In 2011 the AM Flatland Circuit will be reorganized as the AM (American) Flatland Circuit with the addition of a Pro Series.  Having two divisions within the circuit, the Am Series and the Pro Series, allows for an established ranking system for Pro Flatland Riders.  “Adding a Pro Series to the AM Flat Circuit will bring a sense of organization and community to the Pro Flatland World. There are a lot of awesome events taking place in America and the circuit will increase turnout at these events, offer a ranking system and most importantly be a lot of fun” says Pro BMX Flatland Rider, Matt Wilhelm.
            The AM Flatland Circuit was started to help create much needed structure within the BMX Flatland community in North America.  AM Flatland Circuit Founder Steve Lapsley states “having a legitimate ranking system is something riders have been wanting.  There wasn’t a system in place that would help guide amateur riders from the beginner level to the professional level”.  With the initial launch of the AM Flatland Circuit in 2010 an amateur ranking system was established where an Expert and Master Champion were crowned at year end. “The addition of a Pro Circuit is the natural progression” says Lapsley.  
            The news of the progression of the AM Flatland Circuit has gained much excitement for the sport.  “I’m super stoked for the future of Flatland and really excited that the Pro Series has been added to the AM Flatland Circuit” says Pro BMX Flatland Rider, Terry Adams.  For more information on the 2011 AM Flatland Circuit please visit www.amflatlandcircuit.com.

In tribute to Ed Nussbaum

This is a tribute to Ed Nussbaum written by Rad Dad. Notice the first letter of each sentence spells Ed Nussbaum Sickchild. 

Endless flatland links that connect one to the next
Destroying your mind with things that are complex

Never say can’t that is your attitude
Unbridled passion is what pulls you threw
So called challenges is what they are
So called challenges make you shine like a star
Blazing a path for the blue prints of knowledge
Amazing the things you didn’t learn in college

Make it to the top then see how measure

So called friends try to tear you down

Casually you taken them out one by one
Killing them all with out using a gun
Challenging any one that is ready for battle
Holding on tight ready to jump in the saddle
Inclined to decline the right to withdraw

Rainy Dayz Part 2


I just got a new fish eye lens for the trusty Flip Ultra, so I decided to test it out on Dirty. Another Rainy Dayz edit at the Innertwine House in Norcal.

Flatland Chat

    Adam DiClaudio brought up a great subject on Facebook yesterday.The subject was Flatland conversations for non flatland friends and what they must think. For a BMX Flatlander most people will know what your talking about if you say Hitchhiker,Hang 5 or Funky Chicken. For someone that doesn't know the Flatland lingo a hitchhiker is on the side of the road and Funky Chicken is some chicken that was bad at KFC.
   Hecktor Dangus had the BEST reply ever. He summed it up in such a manor that it just had to be shared with the rest of the world.

Here is the original text
I like when people on facebook speak "flatland combo" language online. I can only guess what someone who doesn't ride flatland thinks is being said.
Hëcktör Dängüs
when bar hopping doesn't always get you buzzed
no CDL is required for commandeering a dump truck
kangaroos need not fear your boomerangs
the front yard never needs mowing
and the lawnmower won't cut yer grass anyway
...a stick bitch is not necessarily a woman with an eating disorder
the 1980's were not the only backwards decade
and you don't have to be a post-op transsexual to do a
hang nothing

trinidad riders of course!


talking shit impressing crowds! every where!
