Wow, Your really good at flatland. A lot of us here are street, so you would most likely be helping other flatland people.

Yeah, you're our first serious flatlander. You're incredible, man. Hopefully we can pick a few things up from you.
I have to ask though. How do you compare to Simon O' Brien?

lol I know Simon, he's on my MSN friends list He's Aussies best rider, and just blows the rest of us away. If only I started riding Flat when he did... Oh well. He's gonna be judging this weekends comp in Sydney, which is cool.

Would you say that he is the best in the world, or just Aussie's best? That's awesome that you know him, hopefully he'll be generous in his judging
I love your tutorial videos, but, would you consider uploading a freestyle flatland session?

Simon won the last X-Games that featured Flatland as an event, so he's definitely one of the worlds best riders. It's hard to say who is the worlds best rider, because there are so many good riders with different styles to each other, so who can say who IS the best. Some say it's Matthias Dandios (french), some say it's Martti Kuoppa (finland), but when you watch Simon ride, there's no one in the world who makes Flatland look so smoooooth and effortless.

Do you mean like a session of mix of Flatland and Freestyle..?? I have a clip of a Japanese rider who busts out a good mix of both, throwing Whoppers in at the end of a big link of tricks. lol

No, just you riding around doing various flatland tricks. Similar to the video I posted of Simon. Really showing off what you can do.

Ok, sure, I'll put one together sometime soon. I won't be at my full ability for a few weeks, yet, still nursing my rolled ankle, but I'll get onto it pretty soon. Hopefully I'll have some footage from this weekend in Sydney.

Brendan, that green frame you see in my Avitar is my old KHE Equilibrium. http://www.raddiscount.de/images/shop/P04179_BILD1GROSS.jpg I changed my frame to the Macneil 'Travis Collier signature', becuase it was slightly longer, at 19.5 TT, whereas my Equilibrium was 18.8 TT. Believe it or not the extra 3/4s of an inch made all the difference, with an extra half inch on the rear chainstays, too. I'm 6'0 and 85kgs, so my last bike was a little too short and light for my frame.
