lol. Although it is not huge jumps or anything it is amazingly hard on your muscles. You do things like hold all your weight up with one wrist (and I am 220lbs) or have your arms and legs at awkward positions that don't seem possible. Your muscles ache bad after just because you do so many small muscle contractions in order to keep your balance. It is alot of fun but the bikes are expensive. I paid $2000 for my bike but it also has a things like titanium spokes, spindle, bar ends and axles which cost alot.

Awesome we used to have an indoor Vans skatepark here but they tore it down. My guy friends and I all used to go back in the day like 4 years ago to ride, usually I just watched but I do own Ralph's pink bike from the end of the Criminal Mishchief video (it's for sale!). I loved to watch some of them flatland too it's so awesome. Very cool!

Nice! Its not often you see people into flatland anymore. I used to race mostly from '99 - '02. I also did a bunch of street/dirt/ramp but never any competitions for that. Keep it up man! I wish I had never quit.

I raced when i was younger, up till about 99 or so...well i didn't go pro b/c of the whole money thing. I had to work a lot too, anywho. I did a lot of skate park stuff and trails and dirt jumping. It was funny to see me on a race bike at the skate park...with tioga comp III's hahahahahahaha.

oh yeah, and all the skaters asking me why my front tire is bigger than the back tire.

Did I just see you in an Odyssey video on Fuel TV last night? There was a flatlander on there with a blue bike identical to your blue one, although I don't remember him having green cranks.
