gone are the novelty bikes, plastic wheels, gay looking uniforms, flatlanders wearing helmets
there is more "flow" than bitd too. not ride to one end do a trick, ride to other end do a trick.
not saying that the riders 20 years ago had no style, but they had the style of the day.
and todays riders have so much more. thats normal in this progressive sport.

last week i saw a 12 year old kid doing 2-3 foot airs. He didn't know who Fiola or Dominguez were. He had no idea about the old school flatland tricks. I showed him a cherry picker and he was blown away. I think if you did a routine with old flatland tricks, you'd probably finish last but there would be a hell of a lot of people who would never have ever seen tricks like that before in their life.

i went down to the town park a few months back and there was a bunch of kids doing massive drops and wallrides.
i knew one of them (mate's son) so i got on his bike and did a no handed cowboy
one of the kids said "i would never have thought of trying that in a million years"
some tried to do it but none could. and the unknown freestyling geezer went off into the sunset . . . .

Today at the Windsor Jam i saw a 17-18 year old do a 720 attempt over a four foot spine..............i then saw a 13 year old dab, just, a 720 over a 6 ft jump box and then follow it by a tailwhip jump! 13 years old and genuinely been riding for 1 yes 1 year!!!!! also at the moment one of the best attitudes you have ever come across. I would've said that i was embarassed to enter the same group as this lad in the comp but i would have to say i'm very proud to have competed against a future champion!!! remember 13 years old and 720 jumps, and tailwhip jumps!!!! god lad!!
