that soulbmx video had the worst, most irritating music I've ever heard in the history of global-flat videos..

I just watched parts of these clips and a non riding friend of mine who has no real knowledge of flatland, watched some and made some interesting comments. He commented that with all the shirtless riders both riding and in the audience that it appeared really quite a gay scene!

On the forum over the last few weeks there has been much talk of how flatland should be presented etc. to a mainstream non riding audience and the observations from one such person was something i'd never even thought about and was really quite taken aback but then looking at it from his point of view, I had to laugh and be in a agreement. Some one watching particularly the Soulbmx clip may indeed be thinking flatland is pretty gay!

my friend said the same thing a few years ago, but it was a Terry Adams clip. Never crossed my mind until he said it.
