its say that Flatland freestyle bikes are similar to a dirt jumping bike. :)

[TheLilroper]

skate team it depends on how big ur body is not say ur fat but u may be biger then a teen or mabey not i love my 20in for flatland

[ripstikFL]

wat store is that

[TheInfinityskateteam]

Hi am gonna get into flatland and i want to know if an Eastern 9 Volt bmx bike with a 18.5 inch frame is good for flatland. its either that bike or DK opsis which has a 19 inch frame. so im thinking a shorter frame is better for flatland right?

[Skogferd]

Hi, the frame length doesn't really matter for flatland bikes... It's all about feeling comfortable with it. If the frame gets too short you might feel a bit cramped up with it too. All depends on how tall you are - I'm about 6 foot, and I remember I started out on a 18.75 frame.. Drove me insane.

[Skogferd]

Wops clicked "spam" instead of "reply"... It's not impossible, all about taste really. I'd go for the DK Opsis though, since I don't want my legs hitting the handlebar whenever I pedal :-). Also remember that if you find that you actually like riding bmx and want to devote some time to it you will probably be upgrading your bike, and there are a ton of different frames out there if you feel that 19" gets too short. Good luck!

[snipershot35]

@TheInfinityskateteam id like to know if the dk 2010 opsis if good for it because that tis what im getting lol

[Vansskater39]

@TheInfinityskateteam go for the opisis it has a reecoaster and is actually set up for flatland

[Stevespeeze]

@TheInfinityskateteam

there is no shame in getting an older complete model on clearance,, They have KHE and Older quamen completes that would smoke the DK and Eastern.

[thenameisjulio]

how do you install a gyro !!! plz help

[AVagent007]

hahah RANDOM FAT GUY TEACHING ME HOW TO RIDE A FLATLAND HAHA DONT MAKE ME CRY viva mexico

[GodsReflex]

Go sell some tacos! viva mexican rat!!

[randyla8]

i have a gt compe 08 but it all scratched up and my seat is broke

[Andphil25]

Dam i want to start flatland free-styling , .. but the only problem is that my Haro doesn't have a giro. Am i still capable of doing some flatland tricks?

[nate9512]

Ya as long as you don't tail spin or Barspin

[clayo1]

you can do alot of tricks without a giro man and its a really fun sport

[tdcollector]

u can still bunny hop, and learn to wheelie and stoppie. that will teach you balance. then just buy a gyro.

[sk8BAKER7]

yeah dude if your cable is long enoughyou can do all the same tricks

[sc4rr3dm0th3rfuc3r]

yea you can still do alot of flat land tricks..

[snakeskin7657]

plz some1 respond. im getin a flatland for my bday and i was wondering if 12-14kgs was light enough or its way to heavy cause 8kg b ideal but im in Australia and flatland is so hard to come by up her cheers.

[omer1395]

it doesnt matter what bike you have the lighter bikes are RECOMMENDED but you dont HAVE TO use them if you are comfortable with ur current bike then use it. you just need pegs and a gyro for flatland.

[whybenormal4you]

I agree

[chudzik44]

You don't necessarily NEED a gyro for flatland. You can buy custom brakes for your bike, and measure the cable housing so it's long enough to barspin. All you have to do when you barspin is just turn it the other way next time you do it.

[lambodog11]

i dont know how to put a gyro on a bmx (khe barbados pro) can suum1 plz hlp me

[whybenormal4you]

you need a stem with a hollow bolt. Get a kit with a gyro and it has a piece that holds the cables. it should say in da box how to do it. It's not hard really.

[Elqno]

i dont' know really about bikes...like i mean soo soo good, i bougth a Diamondback grind, does anybody think that could be used for flatland?

[salty002]

i had that bike and it is SHITi have put more money into it than i payed 4 it

[Elqno]

so, which bike do u recommend me? like in the meaning of cheap and good? ;)

[whybenormal4you]

by a used bike to get the best deal imo

[whybenormal4you]

any bike can be used for flatland

[Elqno]

isn't that the frame is more i don't know special? coz in normal bmx the frame is like a triangle, but in the ones dedicated just for flatland that i have seen is like the lower "pipe" of the frame doesn't to the upper pipe, it cuts it in the way...i hope u understand what i mean, i mean like what that special ones makes them different? more easy to work with?

[whybenormal4you]

yeah u r right but you don't HAVE to have that kind of bike to do freestyle or flatland. I don't have one like that but i still do flatland. They are lighter too so i guess they are better but honestly i never used one so idk.

[Elqno]

ohhh cool thxs then :) ur opinion is important, coz in bikes i'm kinda new, i always loved bikes' sports,so i bought a bike not long ago :) ain't for flatland specially designed,is a normal bmx,but now i know that can be used and i'm not alone in this world thinking in that way :D so maybe mine is heavier,i just need go to the gym :P and it will be fine, just like using a flatland bike :P heheh

[crustydemon007007]

yea but you cant exactly use a dh or xc bike for it

[whybenormal4you]

Yes you are right but I mean any 'regular' bmx bike. Every bike can be used to do some tricks though.

[Netinterspace]

Yes even your "grandmas shopping bike", about weight, hmm it does matter but not how you think it does, you jsut gotta train train train until you get the tricks dialed.

The bike he shows in this video is a piece a shit, basically, if you want a nice flatland specific bike, go with KHE, they have very good complete flatland bikes...

[HellP089]

Thanks man! ^~

[HellP089]

Hello there!

I wanna know what kind of frame of that orange bike is, please.

[IMONEBAMF]

eastern traildigger 24"

[1CME90]

[AnimeMaker1]

[fotengaga]

this might sound stupid, but please answer...what are the differences of a flatland bike and a street bmx bike. can you use a flatland bike for railing and going on vert.

[AnimeMaker1]

flat land bike u have 4 pegs n da bike frame is a lil closer so tricks r tight. street bmx is a lil bigger frame n tiers suited 4 da great streed ridin tricks n jumps
