BMX Flatland Battle @ Cycle Mode Osaka

We made it down to Cycle Mode yesterday afternoon to catch the final of the BMX Flatland Battle...

Competition Judges were pro riders Uno-san and Tanaka-san
After a long, tiring weekend for many of the riders which saw them competing in the King Of Ground contest in Tokyo on Saturday and back to Osaka on Sunday for this contest the final battle came down to two teams of two riders from Slope Shot BMX Store in Kawasaki and from the SpaceArk store in Kobe...

Itani-san from SpaceArk
Ikeda-san from SlopeShot
Kiba-san from SpaceArk
After a really tight battle where the riders showed off some premium skills it came down to a final face off where the judges decided that the winners were the crew from SlopeShot...


The awards ceremony saw the winners awarded a huge trophy...


...And all the riders gathered together for a team photo...


Congratulations to the guys from SlopeShot and commiserations to SpaceArk. Considering the riders had taken part in two contests on consecutive days at either side of the country the quality of riding was amazing.
