about 2 years into my flatland life
How does it help you ride with no cranks?
It doesn't really "help" me
ride, it just makes riding more enjoyable

off there cranks?
Yeah I have! That was an honor... (we have a
little tribe going on) hehe

They don't have names, but there
crazy spin/pivot/barspin behind the back style tricks....

crank less? I don't
think so... My "Casper" trick might be a little harder with
cranks (thats
when I lay the bike low during a hitchhiker)

Mike Steingraber, Nathan Penonzek, Trevor Meyer...basicaly the riders of the late 90's
What do you think is in the future for flatland BMX?
Probably the same as it is now, but more branched off in style, tricks and creativity... As far as
popularity or media, you never know..
Can you do any old school tricks that take brakes? Of Course!! Thats how I started out..
Once upon a time I used to mob with the full brakes
and cranks..
How would you describe your experience at
Elevation 4? Straight out FUN.. It had a great vibe
and its location was well placed.. (Texas is awesome)
Also a big thanks to Art Thomason for his help..
