Title: What are your flatland goals for 2010?
Post by: bhaverchuck on December 27, 2009, 10:22:19 PM
Comps, jams, new tricks? Doing some research for a possible future event. Also, will you travel more or less for flatland related events? jm

to learn a decade

That is such a fun trick to learn. I'll never forget the first one I pulled. It was in front of a K-Mart!  ^_^

I have not sat down and thought about it yet.

 Hmm.


  I would say more front wheel links, or having my front wheel tricks look a lot better than they currently do.  (But that is a given with-in time,and for any rider to not only want that,but expect it ). 



On a side note. I did accomplish last years goal of getting out to the NJ/NY area , so I was very happy about that.  Maybe that could be another continuation for 2010 as well( sorry, just rambling a few things that immediately come to mind)

=)

To relearn all the balance points so I can re-learn all the tricks I used to be able to do,and then to progress and hopefully reach the ability to ride what flatlatland is now considered...I'm old/midschool lol.

But for now just trying to re-learn the balance points and having fun...after all that's what it's all about,having fun.

Trying to get my friend to call his older buddy that wrides fixed gear but supposedly is a veteran mid-school flatlander tha's pretty good,other then that I ride by myself...

Smoke by myself,drank by myself,ride by myself...by my godda** self

More step through rolling stuff, turbines to gain some speed, revisit some older stuff I never followed through on getting dialed.  Maybe some experiments with bike setup.  Continue to ride as much as I can without neglecting the family or house.

i feel ya.....................guess it should just be about gettin together more on bikes with "riders" than arguing with them on here........its like being in a room full of menopausal women.lol

but honestly i've been asking the guys that same question at our all night session last night.

we now have the world's "first" government sanctioned "flatland park/spot",in Trinidad and Tobago. so we're waiting to see what the world decides to do about the future of flatland while we do our part;D :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

P.S planning to go to a few events,missed lout alot in south america last year,venezuela,columbia etc........ :ph34r:

My goals are to find a good spot, get and stay mentally and physically healthy (mentally will be the hard part) and start riding again.

I've been talking about this with members of my family and non-riding friends (none of whom give a sh*t) for weeks now; since I'm so out of practice, I have to basically start over. Since I have to start over, I figure I might as well start over a little differently and not keep trying to learn stuff like it's still 1992.

The paradox is that I'm also going to try to ride some park, too.

To learn, create and play more.  To learn a few that I missed 20 years ago, like Hitchhiker, Death Truck and Dump Truck...and put my ultimate link together.  Forward Rope, Forward Death Truck to upside down Rolaid.  Damn that link has been haunting me.

No more lets get serious about comps, worry about liability, do right by the paperwork, be refined, bring massage therapy and healthy foods and consider each rider and their needs, bring everyone as one united group, do more where sponsors fail. Inform people outside the action sports industry about this and that, here and there for the betterment towards each sport we represent.

We too want to smoke dope, drink booze and get laid at the next comp and repeat...Ya know be just like everyone else.
