see it before too....  she is truly amazing at what she does.

although a fix wheel does make a lot of those tricks easier....

i can pretty much guarantee that she has not learnt those tricks on the back of watching bmx.  those tricks were learnt in their own right.  as a flatlander, there were tricks on there that are probably possible on a bmx, but never learnt as they were deemed pretty much impossible, so no-one spent endless hours trying something which probably wasn't possible in their minds.  The best example of this was the two feet on the seat style surfer.  Now that would have been thought pretty much impossible by the top pros, so they wouldn't have learnt it, therefore their fans would never have tried it either.  But to someone who doesn't realise the near impossibility of it in the bmx world, would try to learn it as a circus style trick and not think twice about it. 


that aside, i can truly appreciate the great skill the woman has and she deservea all the accolade she gets....

Are there other examples of this, what's it called, does it have the same kinda following as flatland?

The bike is designed to be used for this shorter wheel base etc... think it would be interesting to see her on a flatland bmx...surely you'd have to be aware of bmx's...why am I so shocked to see this on youtube?

truely never seen anything like this before.
