street bmx

jeff spicoli:
yeah

theRuler:
street derived from flatland tricks with obstacles

bear in mind these 2 things:

street riding come about before "street" was jumpboxes and hips etc
flatland at the time of street's conception was more along the lines of one off tricks, ie, hop onto a bench and land in an endo. the bunnyhop was a "flatland" trick. a bunnyhop used to be a compulsary back when comps had compulsary sections. and a 360, etc.

the 2 disciplines are forever linked, although worlds apart now.

its not even ten years ago, that the number 1 riders competed in both ramps and flat (chasing the "overall" title)

dmc was winning flat before winning ramp comps.
i think he is the only bmx rider in history with 10 consecutive overall world titles!

in an endo comp though, he would come second to me. yeh

tricknuts:
IMO Dennis McCoy  was the best there is/was. Nobody has touched his consistency., and he's STILL completing on the circuit.  Remember that Sunday at Holeshot in ~86/87 when he showed us his groundwork??
