Questions about Flatland bikes don't come up too often. Beerman and Snazzy are the best ones to answer that question.

Actually, BMXTrix and Snazzy would be the best to answer that. The last time I seriously considering getting a flatland bike was over half a decade ago. S&M Sabbath, fo rizzle.

He's talking about a flatland bike. There are flatland competitions, you know.
Not that he'd have the skills necessary to compete.

There's an age limit? It's not like there's anyone posting nude pictures of Margaret Thatcher on the board.

You have to be 13 to participate. MSN has the same rules. I'm sure it's a law somewhere.

I don't know about that; phpBB and vBulletin have an option for people under 13 to use their boards, as long as their parents email a signed waiver or something. I wouldn't really know, as - when I administrated a board - we never had anyone that young sign up, anyway.
