I wonder if any rider had complaints about the shape of the contest floor. I can see it being hard land your tricks on an area so narrow because the pillars and crowd packed close to the edge of the already narrow riding area..

The competition floor shape should always be a decagon. That's just common sense.

Well, everyone needed a bit more space.. I couldn't land halfcabs because it was pretty tight.

But you should see the room - there wasn't another place for a bigger contest floor, so it was okay!

i don't know why people say flatland can't be judged. I've been judging the sport for years and nothing ever stopped me from doing it B)

There's nowt I can really bring to this, but would just say what a  good read it was, from a couple of pretty different individuals perspective (and what with cory's experience) opinions on what the overall bigger picture is for flatland; especially in light of this recent rebel jam/comp....
Anyway thanks for sharing and the making for a great read

A year later, this is still the best thread of all time. Admit it, it's true.
