My theory is that if pro geometry wasn't so adopted by many new begginers that maybe we would see faster startup rate in regards to basics and progression. Which in turn could could fuel a greater basis for foundations.
Seems like all the complete bikes come with a more standard geometry and brakes. So no, I don't think the new "pro" geometry has much effect, however, what does have an effect is attempting to learn without learning the basics ("Ground Rules" DVD).
Its really frustrating to learn nothing for months, so its no surprise why many young riders change to street riding or simply quit and trade their bike for a gaming console.
I think pro riders should start making videos that focus more on the fun/lifestyle of flatland rather than just edits of hard tricks.
