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.
Off topic somewhat...right now everyone is talking about the closing ceremonies music, the only thing they got right was Neil Young. Buggers! HAHAHA...Skateboarding and Surfing are not in the Olympics...nor would both sports-lifestyle want to be compared to other sports. If anything I'd take it as compliment to be amongst these 2 action sports communities.You all have the Hang-5 dude. We all know how surfing is freakin'huge, yet a recent comp in their community was not sponsored by heavies in the industry, mind you its easy to understand why if know certain issues too well.24 top World Big Wave Surfers got together and Jammed. No Ego, No Bullsh*t. Just loads of goosebumps.They are very much like you all. ITS ALL THE SAME VISION.Be proud of Flatland. You are ARTISTS, sometimes in a good way and some times....aaaaarrrrrrrg!N
D weve been looking over your file and well you havent made it out to ride since like fall. havent heard much from you whats up on thur?
i do think that flatland is a sport and it actually can make it in the Olympics...come on every country in the world has at least over 10 flat-landers and if each country sends at least two riders......now before i'm attacked by the ppl who believe that its not a sport or its staying underground would keep it "pure"...come on ppl you spend all this money buying parts and updating every few months,arguing on forums about what's best direction for our "activity",argue with family,wives,girlfriends about the importance of it in our lives...... i mean that's bound to count for something.every other new sport has surpassed flatland in x-games and Olympics for one simple reason-the ability to adapt and accept the inevitable-CHANGE.FOR ANYTHING TO GROW IT MUST CHANGE.we need to settle on comp formats, rules etc for flat to grow to even be accepted in bikepark formats (where kids can actually see it and be inspired to take it up)......
Flatland is a relatively new sport, figure skating has been around for a relatively long time.
