Oh and Brandon F I totally disagree with you and I do not think you have the experience that warrants your opinion on battles. Last contest I saw you at was Burning Bike in who knows how long ago. Not that you have not been to a few contest since then my point is I dont think you have truly experienced what the Battle format offers and has done. As I stated previously I think there is a place for all of these formats and we should not limit ourself because of a few organizers lack of professionalism.
I think your statements about bike set ups are ridiculous. Let people do what they want be free to make your own way. If these guys want to ride street style bike that is not fake. Its what they want. Why limit Flatland and people to your ideals and ways of doing things. Why not just be happy for the guys and say “thats his flow and let him have it” I dont have a street set up and never will but I don’t think those guys are fake.No one I ride with is desperate for praise or is acting like a breakdancer. But if thats what drives someone then so be it.
I wasn't trying to tell anyone what they need to do, but instead, I was trying to tell them that they don't need to do certain things in order to be a flatland rider.
Honestly Brandon you don't need to justify the points of the post it was perfectly clear and makes sense . However to steal from Tj i think you are "pounding sand" trying to share ideas and discuss in any depth issues with many flatlanders full stop.
I want to know which Alain was it?
I thought it was the other Alain (new school french rider).However if it is ART magazine Alain, dont forget he is the brother to the owner of St.Martin ......And they were all at one time part of the bmxicos group ...... And that group has always argued internally and had french princess hissy fits.
