A flatland freestyle reunion!

Does anyone have the two page spread from Freestylin' magazine of Ceppie Maes doing a lawn mower along with an article by Mike Daily called, "A Puppet No More?" If so would it be too much to ask to scan and upload it?

Did you see the FREESTYLIN BOOK that was released last fall??? I got one on eBay and it's sooo sick!
Afro Pat had one I got to see. I'm on the cover of one of the zines in the zine collage section, STOKED. What did you pay for it if you don't mind my asking.
I got lucky and paid $67 on eBay for the FREESTYLIN BOOK. I saw the same book go for $700 on eBay a few months earlier. They usually go for about $300 or more. That's the average price.... Usually they are "buy it now". The one I got for $67 was an auction and for some reason nobody really bid on it. I was stoked! I believe aprox 1,500 copies were made worldwide which isn't many.
That book looks great. I really wish I would have known about it as I definitely would have tried to snag a copy. At least we can have a peak through that link listed below.

I still had most of my Freestylin' and BMX Plus magazines up until about 5 years ago. I kept a few of the favorites and got rid of the rest. Maybe I should have tried to sell them!
Here is a link to a web version of the FREESTYLIN book! Pretty rad! You don't have to buy the book to check it out, just click on the link: http://issuu.com/buissonrouge/docs/freestylin08?mode=a_p
Here's a link to the Freestylin' book release party. Doesn't look like Andy Jenkins was there, but here's a link to his site where he's still cranking out the artwork.

They actually gave the books away for free, which came with a limited edition Michael Lau BMX toy (Around $250 just for the toy on eBay) and they came in a really cool plastic mud box.... All FREE for the small crowd at the Nike Party at Brooklyn Projects in Hollywood, CA. Nike also released a limited set of BLAZER and DUNK model shoes based around the FREESTYLIN book. The Dunks were modeled after Woody Itson's gold plated Trick Star. Long sleeve Nike SB shirts which looked like the old Hutch jerseys with the tornados were also for sale.
I was just thinking about this the other day, crazy ... My older brother and I have a treasured collection of Freestylin', but I'm a few states up from him right now, so I can't scan it. I was in love when I found out about the Freestlylin' book. It was great to relive getting a new issue one last time.
What about Bob Haro's Freestyle handbook? It is a small how to book. I have a couple. I'll look at the date and post a photo as well.
Rick, I'd be interested in one of those.... depending on the price. I remember a book in my middle school library called "My First Book Of Freestyle" which had Tony Riddle in it! Anyone have that book on here?
Hi Kip, I do have one of those books plus every Freestylin' up to about '89. They aren't for sale though. Tony and I were in the Sprocket Rockets for quite a while and I would never give them up...pretty cool though...Chapter 12 "Freestyle and the Law".
