Used flats for the first time yesterday and omg i can say i felt like a whole new rider. Didnt dab once and I cleared 2 techy sections that i havnt even thought about riding before. I think my xtrs are going to be seeing a lot of dust from here on out and not the kind that comes from the trail. It was really nice being able to try new lines and not have in the back of my head "if i eat it and cant get unclipped this is gonna hurt... alot"
