I'm not a flatlander, but I think, when the wheel front wheel is spinning, it makes rear wheel spins way harder, because of the centrifugal force it creates - markus
if a rider rides both wheels then a lot of these tricks wouldn't be possible.... some of these tricks take 10+ years to learn on one wheel, and another 3 to get them competition ready. I respect your opinion but just say you don't ride flatland.
To be more polite: Flatland is really diverse in itself. Almost every part could be used as a balance point for tricks. Either stem, pegs, frame, seat, front or back wheel, or even more. But mastering one contains hard work, dedication, and more than just a couple of years. As nofood1 stated we are speaking around 5 to 10 years. Also another aspect to consider is, that this type of flatland is contest based not just for fun workout or anything so you are doing tricks that you are capable and comfortable with. By forcing the riders to do something they aren't comfortable with could result in many points lost or less riders in competition which makes it even more of a coin flip in my honest opinion.
The whole point of flatland is to have your own style of riding, originally born from the 80s "BMX Freestyle" movement, as soon as you make rules it looses the creative art form that it is. Sure, some riders can do a balanced mixture of both wheels and this diversity is perhaps more dynamic to watch.
What happened to this kind of riding, the guys in the ninties had way more fluidity and tricks this is awesome but there are more places on the bike you can stunt from like the seat post, frame front wheel. I'm getting dizzy watching all this spinning, and hurky jerky style.
Thanks for sharing!!

i find flatland to be more like dancing with your bike. except im more confident dancing with my bike than some person
✌✌❤❤👍👍😉😉😀😀
It's like watching a 10 year old successfully tame a volcanic eruption gracefully😂
Lol, that's one way to put it that I never would have thought up lol
👍👏
What is the point of touching the front wheel? Otherwise, fantastic riding by everyone.👏

maybe, I do it cause don't want your finger jammed! it happens and its terribly painful !
Most riders do it to stop the front wheel from spinning. Then when you grab the front peg, you don't get your fingers broken by the spokes.
what's the point of any of it? because it's all RAD!
I do the same things with my girlfriend.
Needs more cowbell
I really wish they would require the riders to do tricks on both their front and back wheels. Being well rounded should count for something.

You have no idea what you’re talking about

@@Mickchillagegainford01 a lot of us do know tricks on the opposite wheel that we compete with or post clips of we just choose not to use those tricks
