After some time away from BMX, UK flatland legend James White returned to riding last year, and now more recently, he's bringing back Level Vibes. Level Vibes is a loose flatland series with emphasis on the riding and de-emphasis on the competitive nature of contests. Here's the word from the new Level Vibes blog:
'God Save Flatland' coming on the 6th of December 2009 to Crayford Leisure, DA1 4HR. Novice and Expert will be competing for all manner of prizes and cash. Pros will be battling for the honor of holding the coveted title! Yep: No money, no prizes! Just pure love. Only for those true to the sport! The venue is indoors and will have a pratice area next to the contest area. It's on!"
Check the new edit from James above, and if you're in the UK, be sure to hit up Level Vibes '09.
