That terry whopper tut was weak. He was super literal about everything instead of getting into the actual physics of leverages. Thats what whoppers are....leverages and centering. Bah.

I was unaware that you could do whoppers. Since you can do them and understand how to better explain how to do them, why don't you do a tutorial video instead?

basically i have to explain you some things about flatland iriez cause you are still a noobie/indermediate in flatland.

1.do you think you sound good to others when you say that about terry?terry that has like some of the most original flatland switches in the world?
2.i saw your video and there is not a banger trick there,yeah that crossfoot nose on the pedal is good but i wouldnt consider this as a banger!not even consider this a trick that kills the majority of flatland bangers today...you need lot of practise and years to do that.
sorry that is me that has to state this but you sound a bit arrogant to all their flatlanders that work for years to pull a trick..
can you do a hitchhiker for example?halfpacker?turbine megaspin?

my advices are friendly and i dont want to sound like a dick to you but yeah..lot of riders have the same thoughts i am sure..

well, terry is doing the whopper pretty good and interesting in a way(I prefer it like that- the bike is parallel to the ground)

but anyway, the how to lacked some serious tips.
