Title: How did yall start doin flatlanding?
Post by: chngang54 on October 23, 2006, 12:01:32 AM: Just some basic info is all I want...from there I'll try some of my own tricks but until I get the basics down I'm f*cked. All I would like to know from anyone and everyone is that are there any "starter" things/moves I should be learning to get my balance right, handing/footing that sort of thing. Any and all help is appreciated! Thnx! ;D

When I state beginner, I mean like the BASIX, you need to crawl to learn to walk sort of stuff...

NO! Bad... Learn to ride backwards, Thats how i started. Then learn the forkglide and whala! you got yourself a ride out of a forkglide right away.(step over the bars onto the TT and then start riding backwards then just do the ride out...)

... but everybodys different

... though you should buy ground rules... it helped me alot ;D
