bmx.....evolution.....

[bell]

for many many year just like byron i spent massive amounts of time on a bmx bike....mainly doing flatland which started back in the day with simple stall tricks like tailwhips and endos........then it progressed into rolling tricks......

now.......some 30 years later this is what this sport we lived has evolved into.....
watch the whole video.....but at 0:40 you'll see one of the most "in-tune with your bike" moves i've seen in a while.......2:58 is awesome too......

enjoy.....even if you don't understand it......not my vid....or me.....

YouTube - best flatlander Matt Wilhelm

After watching that, I'm dizzy!

best thing to do is study the feet......complex stuff going on there

and to ride at that level......expect nothing less than riding the same moves over and over for 4-8 hours a day......for years.....and years........

I never really found flatland that interesting, but that guy is amazing...

[MattKellett]

Damn, I fall off my mountain bike going straight forward!

That's some crazy skills right there, I could see a whole Cirque de Soleil around these skills.

[Teutonics]

Wow... impressive.

Whenever I see someone with talent like that, I wonder how good they could have been if they had taken up a more traditional "sport", such as ice skating. I guess you have to have a passion for what you do to be good at it...
