The Basics
Yesterday was the summer flatland BMX jam in Portland. I managed to not take any flatland pictures at all, but I did get one picture of Nick Coughlin winning the bunnyhop contest. A bunch of street riders showed up to hang out (Nick included) but the street bikes and pop skills gave them a bit of an unfair advantage in the bunnyhop contest. The flat guys ended up having a “flatlander only” bunnyhop contest right after Nick hopped over 30-something inches for the victory (Jeremy Wilder was the highest hopping flatlander of the day). I only got hit in the face once, trying to get the close fisheye angle. Not bad. Bunnyhops are the root of pretty much every modern BMX freestyle street / park / ramp trick, and one of the first “tricks” any kid learns. They never get old, the just get higher. I think the flat guys will probably have some kind of video from the day up at enjoythetrick.com at some point in the near future.

Oh, one more thing… I am the bunnyhop masta!
