Joh Huddleston Flatland Run 1988
John Huddleston was somewhat of a legendary rider. His popularity in the sport was only surpassed by his innovative tricks. Rolling tricks were becoming the norm but Huddleston’s originality won over everyone. There was a big head-to-head in th 17 & Over Expert Flatland class. John Huddleston VS. Gerry Smith (Inventor of the Gerry Smith Decade). This write up is from 23Mag.com
“John Huddleston. Yes, the guy is cool. He breaks an axle in practice shortly before his qualifying run, but instead of freaking out he just kind of casually begins asking around to see if he can ride someone else’s bike for his run. Later that day he won 17 Flatland. beating Gerry Smith in a run-off that had everybody on their feet. Huddleston avoids the current rolling rage and instead- concentrates on doing any trick into locomotives or freak squeaks, and spinning around in circles tighter than humanly possible.”
This video includes John’s run and run-off. Enjoy.
