Simon O’Brien won round two of the Flatland Down Underground Series happening across Australia at the moment, this round was held in Sydney and Simon said it was a really good comp which was well organised. Simon also recently released his flatland DVD titled Dejavu, you can check out the trailor here and a review of it here.
Everyone worked hard to get some new photos for their team pages along with new Q&A’s. I am stoked on how they came up! Check them here, have a read to learn a bit more about the team. Extra thanks go out to the photographers from around the world that helped out with team riders photos. The photo below is of Liam Fahy-Hampton from a fairly recent trip from Brisbane down to Melbourne, it’s amazing what you will find in small towns.
Simon O’Brien’s sequel to ‘Made You Look’ is due out in the next month worldwide & by the look of this trailer is set to be a banger. Deja Vu features flatland riding from the mind of Simon as well as many other forms of BMX riding with other lifestyles thrown in for good measure. Produced by Simon & Mason Rose it will be available worldwide at all good BMX outlets including Newcircle & Flatland Fuel to name a few by the end of May. Check it out.

Simon has been keeping busy of late with a few projects such as his next solo DVD which I am sure will be amazing. Can’t wait to see that one.
He also recently just got back from Sydney doing some demos at a b-boy break dance event. He said it was amazing with some of the best breakers in the world there. He also clocked some footage there as the scenery was amazing.
Simon also put together a couple new bikes based around his DejaVu frame, one for street/ramp & the other for flatland. Check them out below.

Simon O’Brien sent in an email on his travels in Japan the last weeks. Read on below…
So I’m at the end of my trip now, it was a fantastic time. Catching up with friends, sight seeing in Tokyo and 2 hrs north of Tokyo, went with my girl(Akane) up there for 2 days, went and saw some nice temples and stayed in a traditional japanese hotel,that was awesome! It was at a real small town and we went walking and came across a small shrine to the penis god, pretty funny.
I went to a small BMX jam in West Tokyo which was cool to check out some of the local talent, it was put on by a local shop in a side street, low key and fun. While in Tokyo I checked out Odaiba, Asakusa, Akihabara, Ueno Zoo, Kita-senju (amazing square and sunny diner) and lot’s of other places. Was a great relaxing time, lots of amazing Japanese food and beer,
and temples. Enjoyed it so much, already thinking of planning next trip back there!

Simon sent me a cool email today saying he is in Japan, read on below…
OK, I arrived in Japan last Saturday and have so far been having a great time catching up with friends. My girl and Maja and Bashi, 2 street riders I have cometo know pretty well from last years Disney gig. I just needed a break from home, having been so busy this year and just thought I’d get away for about 2 weeks. I’m staying in Tokyo or just outside the city in Chiba, pretty much an outer city suburb.
This is the first trip without my bike which is pretty surreal, it’s great not having to lug a big box around but I miss my bike! So been sight seeing a bit and generally just relaxing enjoying the food and what not. On Sunday I’m heading out to West Tokyo for a little street comp which should be fun to be at. I will get back to you on how that goes.
Its great to be over here with some warm weather compared to back home. Thats about it so far. Sorry no pics. I will try and get some soon to you and an update on the street comp.
Talk soon, Simon.
Yo yo !!
