Can't get into this type of stuff. All I can think is 'why?'

All I really wanted to be able to do in 1983 was pull off a clean 180 endo to 360 bunnyhop..

Back then flatland style tricks were much more of an equal part of any street riding style (down my road anyway)
I think it had a more limited appeal because it's just such a difficult discipline

The head angle on that bike is too steep and the bars are not wide enough to do any proper riding. The wheels are last year size as well.

Good video, some proper flatland legends in there. Was hoping for Chase Gouin to appear.

All I can think is 'why?'

Each to their own and all that, but that's rather my feeling. I could spend 400 hours learning to do a pirouette while standing on my bike's rear axle (and probably fail anyway), or I could ride my bike places. The riding the bike is always going to win. This is also why I can't wheelie, of course, which I am more ashamed of....
