Tokyo, 10.12.2006 - Red Bull Circle of Balance announcement
Word on the streets is fast – and yes the rumors are true...
After two great events in 2002 and 2004 in Germany the saga continues and the 3rd edition of Red Bull Circle of Balance will take place in Japan – showdown in Tokyo if you want to call it!
For some reasons 3rd editions and serials often take place in Japan, we really cant tell why but for Circle of Balance there are good reasons.
Where else in the world can you find such concentrated passion for Flatland and loads of spirit for it? It´s pretty much the flatland Mekka and we would like to honor this to the sport with bringing the Circle of Balance to the land of the rising Sun!
