Originality is looking at something that everyone has done before, and adding your own twist or flavor to it.

I just about gave up on coming up with mind blowing switches (most likely because I won't ever do that since there are a billion other people better than me that do it before me) and just focused on pushing my own thing so that no matter what trick I do, I do it MY way.

Being an opposite handed/footed rider helps too :P

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them to the impossible.

Different is every single rider. Same trick? No way, it's all affected by the individuals style and added modifications, not to mention how they link it. To me flatland is all about doing my own thing, and that is going to be different to everyone else.

Much like the grammatical paradox you've constructed right here.

Wouldn't doing something deemed impossible make it... possible?

whitty huh.

It used to be said that goofy footed was impossible in flatland... You've proven that to be possible.

Flatland is all about making "impossible" easy.


Too many people just accept limitations. Instead of constantly pushing them to the extreme.

Flatland has nothing to do with anything impossible.

It's simple. Anything IS possible.

Ive gotta pretty original trick but i havent had much time to use a camera, so ill just explain the trick... my cousin came up with this trick after about 1 month of riding.

Its called the modified fork glide.
First i go into a fork glide. then i lower myself and put my right foot on the right pedal, then the left. Then i pedal around like that... when im done looking like an dum ass, go back into the fork glide position, switch feet into a cyclone position and ride out like a cyclone.
Ive tried real hard to pedal so fast that i end up in a reverse or riding backwards death truck, but its not happening.

Depends on the length of your femurs and the strength of your nuts. And skill I suppose.
