Wrecking yer Goolies and bruising yer ankles........its damn good though to watch :daumenhoch:
-
flatland is the hardest of bmx disciplines to learn
hence is the least populated
-
not being as rad as the other aspects of the sport will make it a little less interesting to the bmx fraternity I think.
I love bmx but some of the flatland shows bore the sh1t out of me. ;D But you cant beat a good gumby Ruler

flatland is about not getting the girl ...or friends or a life...its just being a hermit renamed...i should know;..hi everyone..this is my first post.
-
i remember that fiola, mirra, etc did f/l, it can be hard to master at times but it pays it's dividends, sometimes as much if not more than street, quarterpipe, etc i like(d) martti kuoppa, chase gouin, paul osika,day smith. it was mindblowing and inspirational to watch these on vids, or in mags.
-
you should see what marrti kuoppa is pulling at the moment. and some other people...would make most bmxers rather confused..
-

:D thanx blindingsun 4 the fotos, they were cool, rad, f/l is an art. the pity i find when i watch it live is , if they fall off/fail their trick, then it's so easy to think what u think, yet if a dirt/vert/etc rider falls off then it's different, they attempted it, and they'll try it again, but in regards f/l it would almost appear to be an almost a no win situ. wot do u think? :)
-
nah i think now in flatland..especially at comps.. a rider would get just as much of a croud cheer for trying something stupid as he would for landing it.... and ive seen martti kouppa bail hard things and still win the comp so.. and pull the link 2 mins later.. i think there is more room for error in flatland definetly
-
seen lee mussel doing those crazy rolling tricks at KOC for the past few years
he is so smooth
the flatland comp at southsea was always incredible to watch. last years is on sky sometimes - you can see me at one side, sitting with 4 others!
shame KOC aint on this year. slack
-
You dont have to be into flatland to appriciate it because anybody can see it takes years of dedication to get these tricks wired. I dont even understand whats going on but I like it.
-
the old khe flatland school video is good to watch for getting into flatland (it came out around 96)
the old school tricks section is good
i spent hours trying to do a stubbleduck. still cant suss it out
-
Flatland is just a way of life and in a league of its own and so misunderstood
-
Flat is cool, i work and ride with an ex world champ everyday, it
dont get the respect it deserves, a long hang 5 anyone !!!!!!!!!!
-
:) to clockwor, when you wrote, (and i quote) 'flatland is JUST a way of life', did u mean,'flatland IS a way of life. (a world of difference.) :angel:
-
anyone landed a "frame whip" or a "boomerang" BITD should understand what flatland is about jeesus man im new to this oldschool lark but when i was a kid everything wasnt segmented like it is now as long as you were smiling that was cool and the gang
-
yeah, you have to be a bit of a kook to ride flat.. i mean..its all i do. litterally.. if i cant ride i mess around on my computer or something..but if i'm not sleeping..or eatin or stuff thats essential..i'll be riding,.. i need a rest.or a girlfriend..
