26" Urban Flatland

[cruiserflatland]

Yes, from the (circa 2004) lineage of (beach) "cruiser flatland," a new phoenix has emerged:




My utmost gratitude to "Europe for the inspiration"; "Montreal for the 'dangling carrot' of acceptance"; and United Cycle, Revolution Cycle, Session Cycles, Flatland Fuel, & Ride-This "for transforming all the above into a home-grown reality."

It's a tough sport, but I try to get in about 2-3 hours riding time a night after work. (10:00pm - 1:00am) I have been training exclusively on a 26" bike for the last 2.4 years and am currently learning hang-five seat grabs, hitch-hiker combos, and turbine steam-roller/fork glide thingys.

I will keep y'all posted on my progress. Thanks to everyone for their support.

"Choose your sport and stay passionate & commited to improvement -- *overnight you will emerge enlightened. (*some mornings you may not feel this way)

cheers, cf

Hang fives are damn tricky, *WHEN* I can pop the backend up I usually go 5 feet and then over the bars.

Wow, that looks pretty cool. The green looks really nice.

The five feet means that you are now able to throw your weight forwards and you are catching a glide a bit behind the balance point. Try to pull your foot behind you, that will stop you from going over the bars...

PS keep those arms tight.

PPS I go over the bars 1 out of every 5 times I do 'em
