Excuse my scant thread title - I’ll elaborate now since the Nurofen have kicked in (got stinking Man-Flu ; ( ) and feel able to type now.
My concern was that there’s a obviously a real lack of space provided for these guys to show and execute their moves.
I reckon they definately deserve and needed a least double the room they’ve got there to even pull any of those tricks off comfortably.
For years Flatland Bmx ended up getting sidelined and shafted into tiny unrideable area’s and not represented properly. Then it got dropped altgether from all the major Bmx events mainly (X-Games) being the biggest dropkick.Bmx continued to fragment into diffrent disciplines in which my opinion is was where Flatland Bmx has had to iterally to start from scratch and do it all it’s own and not ride on the back of the popular Street side of things any way I digress wayy off topic here...
I hope Fixie freestyle doesn’t get the same treatment ( It probably won’t anyway)
The whole Freestyle fixed is still young and I enjoy seeing the paralles with Bmx and find it intresting seeing the progression from taking freestlye to a larger wheelsize, which as you may know incidently has been around for a while in the form of Artisic Cycling anyway.
Also those guys are more than capable in doing those tricks as I think it’s the same crew who appeared on NYBD - TKYO video V NYBD - TKYO on Vimeo
jamming with Flatlanders which is something I’m more than happy to see going down - frontin skills and having fun is what it’s all about which is clearly evident in the clip anyways.
