1.) Wheelie2.) Endo3.) Tail Whip4.) Boomerang
Hang Five.As simple as it is, it's a wierd, complex trick that can either take 15 min. or a year to learn. It also will beat the hell out of you flipping forward trying to learn them. Any other trick is an easy bail out that you can just toss the bike and walk away. A hang 5 is not like that. *EDIT*On second thought...The trick that defines flatland is the basic endo. The purest and rawest form of flatland known... even simpler than a trackstand or a wheelie. If you have a foot or a front brake you can do an endo, on just about any bike. Little kids do endos on junk bikes in third world countries. It's what everybody learns and it's accessible flatland for everyone.

Boomerangjust my opinion.these tricks opened many doors.hard to choose just one though.only reason why i didnt include wheelie and endo was because they can both be done on almost any vehicle and accdentally as well. They are tricks indeed but flatland? To me flatland is the evolution of the tricks. So in laymans terms, yes there were bike tricks before flatland, but it wasnt "FLATLAND" until i saw my first tail whip. And no, it wasnt a controlled accident, it was an outside the box expression of style.
