Think of it like breakdancing :mrgreen: just cause alot of people saw some guys having a breakdance battle in the club doesnt mean they are all going to go home and try to do it. cause its just not that easy. you cant half ass it like flatland. only a select few are dedicated enough.

Maybe he's just taking advantage of it? :-) But Expanding the sport is still important, since we're not riding to impress people. It will also help get more people to ride.

	I really don't mind if it stays underground or goes mainstream as long as people stop asking if i know or do tricks like tony hawk or i really hate it when i do a trick a lot harder then a wheelie and they always ask about the wheelie. The only thing i would like is if the general public would get a slight idea at what we are doing. we need more propel drink commercials and mountain dew commercials. it is the only dose of flatland for the mainstream.

Besides that it all kinda looks similar to them a bit.. they haven't spent time learning and deceferring(sp?) what the difference between tricks really is. I can't fully appreciate a range of classical composer's works, but I can listen to the warmth behind their instruments and enjoy it, it's still unfamiliar though. Regardless of whether it's well known or isn't just do it for yourself and you'll always love it the same way.

Imagine watching countless documentaries, advertising, and "reality shows" about flatland and it's lifestyle. My take as a Mass Comm student... :-D

	It's up to Joe Media and TV to decide the fate of how the non-riding public will view flatland. Does not the flatland community control it's own destiny? Was it the media outlets in Japan and Europe who propelled flatland to it's current hieghts?

	Re: i hope flatland always stays obscure and unknown... That would keep the riders and companies both in financial hardship.

	some people talk about how if it became mainstream the tricks they would do wouldn't blow peoples minds but if it ever did go mainstream with all the riders it would create. It would push people to do tricks that never were considered possible. the tricks would evolve and become even more outrageous. we would constantily push our skills and tricks to the next level.

	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. 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 Sweet let's all keep flatland underground and impoverished so you can look cool. Yes, that would be much appreciated, thanks... :? ok, this whole was done tongue-in-cheek... but that may have been somewhat missed...
