you and me both - altho im a dirt jumper from waaaaa back in the 90's
there is a video from some flat dude who explains stuff realley well.
im buying it. - I know - it sounds funny - to learn from a video
but apparently its good stuff. and has like 50 trick exp. in it.
I believe its called "ground rules"
any how - ive got one bought off ebay.
cant wait till it arrives.
tonight I was trying to learn "mega spins" and i got a fiew good ones with like 3 scuffs on the back wheel. but im doing them diffrently than the guy was explaining them here,
http://www.global-flat.com/tricks/4/MegaspinI roll in to them faster and end up doing a rolling dork / peg wheely in a large circle till I get around tight enough to start the mega spin.
did you check out the "tricks" section of this fourm yet? its got some cool videos
I guess flatland riding is all about finding your own balance point.
and id have to say - the more you ride the more you will find your happy balance place.
