Author Topic: MK FLATLAND COMP? (Read 1172 times)

I attended my first MK last year but got there far too late and missed most of the fun. I was thinking about this year and it suddenly occurred to me that whilst there is racing for the ....racers, there is not much for the freestylers as far as competition goes.
How would people feel about an old school flatland comp??
I reckon it would be great fun and a great spectacle for all involved....
I haven't ridden a bike for a while now but I reckon I could still (probably) throw down a 2 min routine!!
It would be great to see who has still got skills...although I suspect paulb would probably take the crown!
What do people think of the idea?

It is a brilliant idea ... Absolutely love it .. Would be a great bit of fun

It's such a shame that if it goes ahead Paul Barlow (who has been to the last 3 MKs ) won't be able to attend this year ... His skills are epic

It would be good if there was enough room on the helipad area for the flatland. It would be a bit too busy over the other end with the ramps and the general traffic going back and too to the track and the back of the marquees.

the old helipad was as slippy as fook even dry, I think they relaid it but not sure of it's surface grip now

Great idea! Gutted I won't be there, hopefully next year!
