Best known as the ‘Super Bowl of Flatland BMX’, Red Bull Circle of Balance returned for the fifth iteration of the event after a 10-year hiatus. The global roster of athletes took their talents to the floor at New Orleans’ iconic Mardi Gras World; a venue as artistic and eclectic as the sport itself. Sixteen hand-selected athletes from nine countries went head-to-head in the bracket-style competition as viewers around the world tuned in live on Red Bull TV.
Flatland BMX is best described as break dancing on a bike. Athletes control their bikes with their bodies in a dance-like rhythm of spins and twists. Over 500 spectators lined the competition floor and surrounding stands as riders battled it out in one heated round after the next.
The Dutch BMX Park National Championships were squeezed in at the end of 2022 to continue the streak of having national champions for history's sake. going into the comp the level of thr riders was close. It made for a good battle to even make the final. The riders that entered ride in Eindhoven a lot. They ride together to progress together, but on 17 December 2022 the judges had to decide who was actually the best of them all. Daniel Wedemeijer has been struggling with a shoulder injury but wanted to enter anyway as he had been setting up the Dutch Championships himself. His first qualification run gave him a score of 71 but he didn't manage to step it up in run two and was eliminated. Jari Roggerveen scored a 71 in run number two where he pulled the fakie roll to front flip at the end of his run. Jari blasted through the park in Jari style with a smile on his face and pleasing the crowd. An average score of both runs of 74,33 helped Pim Scheers transfer to the finals just behind Arjan Ellens (76,83), a recovered Levi Weidmann (77,67) and Tom van den Bogaard (82,67). The 4-men final was going to be a good one.
Pim Scheers turned it up a notch in order to grab third place at the 2022 Dutch Park championships. He added a flairwhip to his run that was already packed with seatgrab indians, whips on the hip, front flips, no-footed cancans and as a bonus he nailed a triple tailwhip on the step-up in his 2nd run. Arjan Ellens was the only one to start off scoring points by bomb dropping from the wall into the quarter. Everyone likes to see stunts and Arjan brought them. Double barspin transfers, no-footed cancan one-footers,
