U ppl an ur $#%$#$%# flatland

Yeah, it would be better to see more variety.

I have a feeling my whole riding style will change when I get a license
and a car😉

I've been doing alot of flatland lately because I don't have a car, but
I try to bring my uni when I go places, so I can practise stairs ect. I
still can't hop high enough to do a handrail though🙁

I thinkc rankflips are cool, but there being seriously overused now.

shauns flip vid was pretty cool though...

maby people practise crankflips so in the future when they go jumping
sets, they can add a bit of style to it, not just a gap. Look at shaun,
he crankflips and grinds, he even combimes the two.

i oftern practise crankflips and flatland, but i am working up to doing
the tricks i pracise on flat down bigger drops and sets.

Also when people say "im bored of all the crankflips" the difficluty
level inbetween say a crankflip and a treyflip is hudge, if people just
see it all as "just flips" then i see there old style street as just
jumping stairs.

So thanks for sharring you oppinion(sp), and thats mine

as I said, I don't mind seeing crankflips, but if you combine
crankflips, or unispins ect. with grinds and gaps and stairs it becomes
awesome. way beyond just jumping down stairs...

That would be bad. I like doing flip tricks but vids that don't have a
shot with some kind of crankflip get pretty boring. I know that all the
flips might be different and really hard but after a while it is just
boring to watch.

nobodys copying him. he is simply better then everyone else at street,
so if someone else rides street, they are doing what he has allready
done. Not copying him.

crankflips are a big part of shaun's style, but if you do a crankflip
down a 3 set that's not copying shaun. your implying that everyone who
does crankflips is copying shaun which is like everyone who can idle is
copying everyone else.

I think flatland's is awesome, but to an extent. for decent movies you
should try to have as much variety as possible, unless it's a movie
about a pecific trick.

I do agree with you that people are concentrating too hard on learning
crankflips and tricks on the uni, and not concentrating on obstacles
enough.

i can do rails and [censored] but before the street comp i couldnt do the
rail could i just got new pedals and that was the first time i had
ridden on the pedals and they stuck to the rail.

not all of the leading street riders where there, so i do not believe
thats a fair point to say.

right hear we go again....
gaping stairs: I believe that jumping sets requires guts, crankfliping
the same set requires more guts, adding mroe viration to the flip trick
makes it more difficult.

so unless you wanna just go try to doubble back a 6 set stright away, i
say we tollarate flatland, untill more people are up to shauns level of
riding (by whitch time him and the other leaders will be doing god
knows what) then we can start saying its all boring

Ill agree, i do like watching people go big, but id ratehr see someone

I like both. I really like flowy technical medium stuff though, like
360's down 5 stairs, treyflips(360 unispin crankflips?) down 3 stairs,
backflips down 4 stairs, 180 back handrail grinds down 6 stairs, stuff
like that.

Yeah I know, Xav is my favorite to watch. I know he does alot more than
just flatland but the kind of flatland that xav and dan do are my
favorite kind of flatland.

I saw dan do a leg around with his right foot and then with his left
foot consecutavely(sp?) without hopping inbeetween, and to this day it
is one of the coolest uni tricks I've seen because he did it so
smoothly and flowily.
