The opening ceremony for the London Olympics is today and I really wish I could be there to experience it in my home town.

I saw this video over at Flatmatters and wanted to share it here. Good luck to all the athletes in London. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful time.

A small group of us were looking forward to showcase 'Flatland' at the opening show of the world's largest athletic competition in London this year.

We are a small percentage of the acts which were cut, but rather than let all the practice go to waste, we went out last weekend to shoot a quick film featuring some of the riding we would've done in the given space and time.

We really wish London, the UK and all the good people involved all the best of luck with the forthcoming events for 2012!
