I have been riding flatland for around 6 years. I love it and devote tons of time to learning new tricks. Thought I would share some pics! :goodjob:
This is my bike I have been building on for a long time! It's all parts ordered to fit me and my style of riding! I have about $2000 in it right now! :2cents:

This is called a smith decade. It's pretty scary to say the least!

This is called a freak squeak. I am spinning in a tight circle!

This is a step over decade.

Good stuff Matt! you need to bring the show out to the next meet. Strap the bike to the top of the Rex or in your truck???????? that'd be awesome to watch irl.

That's cool man. I used to race bmx and rode some dirt but I never could get into flatland ( Mostly cuz of my size I'm 6'5) I do want to get back to riding though either dirt or street and maybe some racing. Keep it up man :goodjob:

X2 on the 6'5" part, i used to ride a gt pro performer when i was a kid and skateboard's. i was never as good as you are but i was ok. you got some skills and when you have been riding for 10-15 years you will be the sh!t. +1 for you.

I actually have a freecoaster. I can set my pedals and they wont move foward or backwards. It's a bad ass hub, and you need it to do any of the advanced stuff. :goodjob:

Nice stuff. I ride a little street, mostly dirt. With the crappy weather up here, I havent rode outside, at all.

I bought a Subrosa Letum Dirt this year https://www.jrbicycles.com/storefront/images/uploads/Completes/bike00239%20Subrosa%20Letum%20Dirt.jpg

Its more or less stock other than a black seat b/c that white one was ugly.

Here's some from this year on the Subrosa. I love it, esp with the 25/9 gearing and the cassette hub. I wanted a spanish bb, but I got to nice of a deal on the bike, and settled for the mid bb

Hittin the spine, to a nose manual and comin down the landing of the box jump.

^Nice man. Those white crank arms are bad ass. I have a 25/9 gearing too and it's perfect. And it was a crazy jump going from my old american bb to the euro bb. But it's nice and my bike only weighs like 24 pounds.

damn man thats impressive... i used to ride back in the day when i had a huge neighborhood to ride around in, but then i moved here and lost it.

i still have my hoffman but i havent done crap with it for a long time, now im too busy with school to do damn near anything... i wish i still rode cause i'd rock a bike rack to varsity and ride out when i got there haha...

keep it up man... i wish i would have.
