Flatland Thread

[GRAYDONSHEDSSTREET]

Anyone do flatland riding, I think with every riding park and street we need some more flat riders. I have a background in unicycling so naturally it interests me, probably an old thread for this but I'd prefer to start a new one. Talk about tricks, riders, tips, whatever

I ride flat in the morning and at night. Just doing tricks that are flowy. Sort of a similar style to jon reyes and lewis crampton. I can ride unicycles too

 

[GRAYDONSHEDSSTREET]

I ride an Impact unicycle my seat bolts are stripped though so no riding

 

[BeeFrew]

I ride flat like every day I can't go somewhere else. I try and learn a majority of my tricks flat rather than flyout

Am I the only one who finds flyout 10x harder then flat or off a ledge/drop?

no

Out of pretty big banks is a ton easier than fly out, also looks better since you're actually moving forwards too and land moving, rather than fly out where you go up, down, and don't move haha

fck flyout because i can never get used to airing out, i always do tricks out of large banks

 

[Travis.Regnier]

i got a pretty strong manny game, can do a ton of tricks into manny and even more out, i can gap to manny, manny to gap, working on some pretty cool flat ground manny combo's too

I realized nose Manny's are a shit ton easier with bigger bars (mainly taller)

This is where I rode for three years before going to a skatepark. Flat is still the most fun.

not that i am a fan of flyout but how can it be harder? you get so much more airtime

It might not be harder its just a lot different, throwing 3 whips flat and flyout feel way different and imo flyout feels more awkward

 

[GRAYDONSHEDSSTREET]

You have to like go from a super steep angle to flat which is against gravity and spins feel messed up

I like to huck tricks on flat.
360 doubles and triples(still trying for a 360 triple)
I do alot of nose manuals too, like nose manual half cab variations. Im too lazy to drive to the skate park most days so I ride alot of flat

 

[addicted_to_Addict]

I love riding flat but I suck at it. haha

what is the key to nose manuals and manuals etc

manuals, learn them with the brake first so you can manage a comfortable balance point and all, then you can start doing brakeless mannys and just balance with your body - like bmx manuals n shit

nose manuals - im not too good at these so yeah, but id guess you should learn hang 5s just to get the hang of riding on the front wheel and all. nose mannys are a lot easier with taller bars though, i used to suck so much at them and fall every time but then i got like 26" high and theyre so nice now haha

It feels odd to me.

Did any of you watch the cul8r promo video? At one point the guy did a foot plant frontside 180 to a backside revert. I've been trying it but I can only get just over 90 degrees.
