Paul Chamberlain put this great interview together with Jimmy for Newcircle. With Flatitude only a couple weeks away, it’s great timing on both these guys behalves to have this out for the world!

A number of flatlanders in Australia have recently taking up cooking and they all seem to be cooking up a flatland storm! Hahaha – That is exactly as lame on screen as it was in my head!!! People in Oz are doing things. It makes me really excited about going back home for things other than the weather – Sorry UK but it really is home now – If you ever get there you’ll understand trust me! Anyway, one of these aforementioned flatland chefs goes by the name of Jimmy. He’s the brains and driving force behind the next up, newest and flattest event on our calendar: FLATITUDE!!! I can’t believe that nobody had thought of that name already. Anyway, with Flatitude just over a month away I caught up with Jim for a good old chin wag – You might want to put the kettle on!

Paul: Jimmy is a rider from Melbourne who’s been riding flatland for years. He’s new to our scene but a veteran of the previous scenes that in many ways created ours today. He’s been back for a year or so now riding at IMAX every Sunday without fail. He seemed to pick up where he left off and catch up quickly with modern flatland too – His bike set up and riding change a lot as he experiments with different tricks and setups in our weird and wonderful new small-sprocketed world. He’s a little crazy sometimes but his heart is definitely in the right place. He’s not afraid to get hurt trying something new. He’s somebody for Grant to smoke cigarettes and reminisce with. He’s somebody for us all to talk shit with. More importantly though, he’s another rider and friend who’s come out of the woodwork and stayed in a scene where people disappear like… . . . . . .
