I am an old school rider from BITD. But now that I'm in my 40's and my son is of age I am supporting him in his quest to learn new school flatland on his new school bike. Although I have a deep collection of old school Dyno's I am shifting into the new school program. However, all the new school threads I've seen on this site focus mainly on street. I want a thread devoted to new school flatland where members can post pics of their flatland rides, videos of flatland tricks, and anything else related to the art of rolling on your front or back wheel!

So here's your chance. Let's get the ball rolling!

Looking forward to see your Intrikat Roy, I know you've been wanting one for a while now.

ministock101 · 2013-03-23 12:33am

I have kinda liked flatland to a point. I can do crazy long hang nothings if that counts The closesnt to a flatland frame that I have is a black eye killorado. Wanting a cheap frame, actually I have a huffy with a curved downtube. Maybe I'll mess around on that for a little, or a walgoose motivator mini frame with a really low top tube.

I do plan on buying a flatland frame here this summer. Looking at the Mankind Alive 2.0 because of the 14mm drop outs.

And this is the huffy, looks like a flatland wanabee. It will be re-welded multiple times when I'm done with it.

I myself only ride Old School geometry but the new frames are cool too.

tiggy1190 · 2013-03-23 1:49am

41, and ride Flat almost everyday that the weather allows. Started four years ago, and loving it. My current rider is an 06 Quamen G6.

nightsblood · 2013-03-23 4:48am

Im in the same boat. Im 43 and my son wanted to learn some flat. Unfortunately, my ass doesnt fit on a 20 anymore...or I just refuse to ride one so Im one of the few guys that ride flat on a 24. She is new school though. I love the ns stuff.

Cool Roy. I thought you had a sweeet spot for the Intrikat. I saw that parts list on the other thread and was wondering what you were up to. Should be sweet!

djhoudini · 2013-03-23 4:58am

Im in!

The start of my 1st New School flatland dedicated build. 19" FLATT. Aggro Rag DTT is next.

Cool. Will have to look that up!

Maybe you guys can help. I saw a newish flatland flux of dudes in, I think, Japan.

One of the guys was on a chrome bike with an interesting fork up front.
The brakes where located inside the side tubes of the fork on a lever that swings and clamps down on the wheel when you grab the handle.

I have seen high end road bike with hydraulic brakes which protrude from the team so as to do away with the brake mech. It is an internal hydro set up.

The flatland bike I saw had mechanical lever brakes sunk into the fork.

Does anyone know of these, what they are, if they are new or old, are they obtainable?

Thanks & peace.

polterdeal · 2013-03-23 6:02am

Harry, that ride is bad ass bro!!!!
and I'm not totally new school yet, but def outta the old...

That's a rework of the KGB Space 2 fork concept (which are pretty cool btw!) There a thread on Global Flat about it, here's the link:

https://www.global-flat.com/smf/index.php?topic=54604.0

Neat concept, but as stated in that thread, looks like a pain to manufacture and adjust.

SharkBite · 2013-03-23 6:59am

I know nothing about flatlands except I keep trying to hurt myself on my freeform EX. I want to break into this world. Always been fascinated by you guys that can.

jeffc43 · 2013-03-23 7:08am

Great thread. I'm hoping to start a NS flatland build sometime this year. At 6'5", I'm looking at the Subrosa DTT frame but probably will go with the 20.5" street as the 19" flatland frame is just too small. (Wish they'd built the larger frames with the same downtube/gusset config as they have on the flatt frame for us taller flatlanders.) For now though I'm still riding my OS/MS bike for flat (http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/dyno/60081)...

Roy Munson · 2013-03-23 7:18am

I'm dumb

http://flatlandfuel.com/odysseyflatwarefork.aspx
Think I'm gonna go with these. The new ones have removable mounts so I can go back and forth clean if I want.

Here's my old Fly Flatland bike that regretfully sold last year:

I bought this one to learn and practice on. I need another one...

Roy Munson · 2013-03-23 7:28am

How do you guys prefer your fork offset and stem length?

K Chez · 2013-03-23 7:55am

Switched last year from minimal offset to zero and it wasn't as big of an ordeal as I thought it was going to be. I run Swiss Miss bars and the offset is 28mm, but I modded them so that they are straight up instead of parallel with the fork tube.

polterdeal · 2013-03-23 8:11am

forks; 0 offset. Stem, i like a lil bit of a reach... not 0
