	I can see both arguments for wanting it to stay underground and for wanting it to be noticed. i also sometimes listen, when new people are around, for that "woah look what hes doing!" stuff. and not that im an attention whore or self centered or anything, but sometimes i wonder how adults can walk by and NOT have a double take or even glance in my direction. i mean come on, look what we're doing! im spinning on one wheel on a bicycle! i would stop and watch me :-D real name no gimmicks stop quoting pictures

	that way, when i ride, i can continue to blow peoples minds....... If you wanted to blow peoples minds, you'd want flatland to be mainstream. Doing a kickflip will blow more peoples mind than a hitch hiker.

	Me too. I love doing simple tricks and having to educate people on my lifeblood EVERY TIME someone comes wandering into my parking lot. Screw that. I'd rather have it appreciated for what it is rather than some token obscure extreme sport. I'm sick of being dismissed because I don't ride ramps and do backflips. Flatland in the mainstream in 2006. 8-) Fuckin A TJ. Right on brutha! Club Homeboy Forever! Fubar for Life! Monolithic Entertainment Monolithic MySpace

P.S. why does braun sponsor so many events? their products are like coffee machines and razors!! does the owner of braun ride flat?

I was going to say something like this, but I figured I would get flamed (as usual) becuase I made a slight attack on the OP. i am FOOKING FLATLANDER WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?

Doing a kickflip will blow more peoples mind than a hitch hiker. HAHA!! That's just it! Because I CAN'T do a kickflip, but i CAN do a hitchhiker... That was my whole point in this... If flat was mainstream and any joe schmo walking the street knew what Martti Kouppa could do, they might look at me riding and think hmmm that's not that big of a deal, but since they have never been exposed to that level of riding they look at me doing hitchhikers, pinky squeeks, steamrollers, karls, halfpackers etc. etc., and they are like DUDE THAT IS SOME SICK SHIT!!!!! :-D :-D

The people that really respect flatland are the ones that rode a BMX more than twice. :) Sometimes tricks look so complicated and hard that people's minds will be confused and think: "That can't be that hard! :?". :)
