Flatground BMX is a highly difficult mix of pinpoint balance & control, a 6th sense of awareness for the bike and the ability to generate momentum and flow and there aren’t many things that come close to the level of skill required. Southsea’s Effraim Catlow has a long, long history of competing at the highest levels internationally as well as being a professional and on Monday dropped a brand new edit entitled ‘Coming Full Circle’. For this film Effraim teamed up with local film maker Ollie Denny who documented the last sessions of Effraim riding at the Brook Club in Somerstown (where Effraim has practiced for years) before the club is demolished.

“I wanted to document my riding as this point in time, to remember the spot and also help push my personal progression. I was inspired by a podcast that asked a question, “How do you know when a music track is finished?” I immediately started thinking about flatland, and your combos. When are they over? Is there a right time to pull out? After much gnashing of teeth, and riding time in between injuries, I’ve come full circle from doing long combos in the contests to short combos outside of the contest environment”. – Effraim Catlow
