english is not my first language..!
but you have to remember..two long cranks in flatland and you got the speed.I am not like pedaling everywhere and just get my bike out of my truckand then two quick cranks and I got enough speed.
Hamez..I am now 59 years old and still ride..going back into the early 1980'swith the Curb Dogs and then with the Flatland Fugitives..becoming a Fugitiveback then.The bit with being short is good for flatland riding and I do know afew tall riders like my friend Trevor(Meyers) and fellow Fugitive Nate DawgHansen.I am talking about leg and foot length here and dealing with hitting theback of your foot with longer cranks and then the problems of having too shortof cranks..it is harder to pedal.This has been a problem for many and continues to be at times..my point is tostart out with what you have now..your spot is nearby,so no problem pedalingthere to ride..You have 165mm crank arms which is a good length for your cranksand finally..adjust your feet on the pedal so you do not have that problem andjust learn to ride in doing pedaling, gliding into tricks different and pedal tricks.If you still have a problem with foot room and hitting of your foot in certaintricks..maybe down the line got to 160mm cranks.Save up for it and see howyou like it. I mean your close to your spot so a little harder pedal to the spot willnot be too bad and as I have said..two pedals and you got speed for most linkts.
