Since this rain on the east coast, I've been riding at my local indoor skatepark damn near every single day for the past two weeks. I've inspired alot people, turned alot of heads, and gotten alot of "what the f*** is that?" (<<in a positive manner of course)

Flatland is a beautiful sport, it will never die. The flat soul is too strong.
Take it apart, clean it, regrease it, and put it back together. If that doesn't work, nuke it! ;D

I think just the opposite, I think it is a growing sport that is recently starting to accumulate more interest.

Haven't you heard? It died at the hands of a few "old-school" guys, our way of thinking killed it.  :P

Well OK, we can credit the guy with doing whoppers a long time ago, but he's hardly an influence anymore.

Good one!  ^_^

Wasn't it a parody of the quote "Hip hop is dead?"
The following is the truth.  The preceeding is a lie.

If you are riding, it's not dead. Who cares one way or another?  I will still ride whether it is dead or not.

Yes, it was. But it was a bad one because most people didn't get the joke.

Deep made these shirts. Frank Lukas (with a "K") and Matti Roese are the owners of Deep. ;)

Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

I get it was a joke, but in the spirit of the topic I can def say all the street riders around here tweak when I say I'm a flat rider. i get so many questions about my rig and just riding in general. Consider the flat trick movement in street riding. totally a tech thing and a new facet of street in my humble opinion. I'm digging on it.

It`s not new ,it just has a new name...Tech.Flat tricks on ramps has been done long before this.

Wait,flats dead? I didn't get the memo.Should I still be riding? What do I do?
