Don't know how many of you have heard of Flatland BMX riding, but I recently got back into it (I read on another forum dozens of people over 30 still riding, and one was even 44, so you're never too old ). I found this vid and thought it was pretty cool. The song is an Austrailian rap group called the Hilltop Hoods.

ya this used to be an event at the x-games

but dont know what happend to it

pretty cool stuff

 

definitely cool. Thanks for posting that.

 

It's really popular overseas, in Europe and Japan especially. It died out of the mainstream in the US though, so they took it out of the American X-Games years ago. Most of the American X-Games is a joke anyway, but that's a whole seperate story.

 

it used to be called just freestyle. I remember when the first rotor goosenecks came out for free spinning handle bars. We were all about straight BMX back in my day. Freestyle was just getting hot when I retired from all that jazz.

Here is an example of my old school BMX bikes. Hot Sh*t back in the day:
