decade???

[fairtrade]

I have a question, when you do flatland decades, are both your wheels firmly on the ground or the front wheel is high in the air like a manual or the back wheel is in the air?

frontwheel is off the ground...if the frontwheel is on the ground then they are called boomerangs ;)

[fairtrade]

oh ok. I don't think i'll be doing those real soon then.

[nutsgeezer]

boomerangs are nuts, some guy does a crazy one on a bank on animal - can i eat.

[Scorchy]

boomerangs arent that hard :P i can do them at times, decades flatland i tried once and they are alot harder, might be easier with brakes though

[fairtrade]

i've never landed either trick in my life because of the end bit, how do u do that?

[Scorchy]

make sure u know where your pedals are, if you dont u may have a bad landing, if you dont want to learn to land straight onto the pedals them you could learn to have one foot on the frame first then jump from pedals there, its still technically landing it, u may find it hard to swing that last extra quarter because of balance but when u find it itl be easy enough

www.mattbmx.com has a video tutorial on decade.

i once did a breakless boomerang from halflash to the frame.......and when i got to the point in the circle the you need breakes i fell forward but kept holding the bar so my fingers crushed between the bars and the asphalt. there was 4 bleeding fingers.........who said flatland aint dangerous :twisted:

flatland is most definetly dangerous I fall more in flatland then I do street/ trails.

i havn't tried anything big enough to seriously hurt myself so the most i get is bruised legs and shinners :p

I've had my worst fall from doing a peg wheelie. I had no brakes and i jamed my foot too hard in the tire and landed on my brake lever. It stabed me in the ribs and blew my ait out. I couldent breath normaly for a half hour. I still have a nasty scar. :(

ha, i dont have any pegs so i cant do flatland. i could try on my drop outs tho :roll:

If any one wants to give me their flatland bike then please do :)

BOOMERANG TO HANGFIVE
&
BOOMERANG TO HITCHHIKER. think about it ;)

[kohman2]

i can do boomerangs. i think they are MUCH easer than decades. i have tried decades many times and i can not even begin to jump off the frame. thats my next goal as soon as the weather gets better. to go leaen how to do a decade.

[Ante]

I tried decades a couple of times. I jump off the bike but i have problems with landing them :?
