Patience is probably the most important quality required for Flatland. On your bike and on the Internet!
my nephews just started flat [ hes 12], teaching him a few things then seeing him land them coupla weeks later has given me even more motivation to learn and progress. Lookin forward to the killah jam!
Yeah the young blood is a great motivator! Matt's young lad who was at the 1WM jam was riding hard wich was great to see huh! 2nd should be good matey
Squeakers are a good place to start. Fork glides are very important and lead onto reverse steam rollers.Or you can just walk into steam rollers to get used to being on the front of the bike going backwards.What I've found is that even if you don't feel like you're progressing you probably are. Keep trying and practicing and one day you will find your balence has improved and you will travel farther!
