Newcircle DownUnderGround finals this weekend!

It’s gonna be an epic weekend for sure. The AusBike expo is going down in Melbourne this weekend and the Newcircle DownUnderGround finals will be a part of it along with Colony’s King of the Jibs in its second year.

There is going to be a Jam at the famous Imax riding spot in central Melbourne on the Saturday (August 20). If you’re in town and have a little free time, you need to get down here to check it out and hang out with some of the riders. You can find more info in the Flatland Australia forums by clicking here.

And just to get you in the mood, we’ve got a select highlights vid from Round 1 earlier this year in Bridport, Tasmania. Thanks to Duncan Joyce for putting this one together – cheers!

Anton Tang photography

You might remember that in 2010 Anton Tang, Ares Pro rider from Singapore, made his way out to Brisbane for a few days to hang out and ride.

While he was here, we hit up a bunch of spots around South East Queensland and also got a nice interview done with him – peep it here.

As much as he is an awesome rider with a fast and smooth style, he’s also an accomplished photographer. The Ground Force contest that went down in Singapore a few weeks ago was a great opportunity for him to take a bunch of quality snaps.

Anton has his own website – you can check it out at www.antontang.com
