Lance Armstrong or Lance Edward Armstrong is a professional road racing cyclist famous for winning the Tour de France the maximum number of times.

Till date he is the only one to have won the cycling championship a record seven consecutive times. In 1996 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and dropped out of that year’s tour de France at the 7th stage of the race. The cancer had spread to his brain also.

After the diagnosis the doctors suggested immediate surgery both in his brain and also testes though they hinted for a 40% chance of survival.

For the first time in years Metro will be holding a flatland contest. It’s going to be on Wednesday night at a really cool spot in the city center. It’s going to rock. Stay tuned to the Metro site for details.

$20,000 purse.

Metro will go down in the brand new five thousand-seat K-Rock Center. This year’s pro event will be invite only. That sounds shitty and we never, ever wanted to do an invite contest, but we feel as though we were forced to do this. Qualifying used to take six full hours because half of the guys entered weren’t actual pros.
