What is flatland? Today the main styles are street, park and dirt riding - most of the newcomers haven't even heard of flatland riding, even though it played a significant role in the history of BMX: in the early 1990's BMX Freestyle divided into many different directions officially and these also got a contest format. Street and Flatland came first, then street turned into park, dirt and street. Flatland means performing balance tricks and combinations of these on flat ground. Adrenaline is not in the centre, it takes rather an insane amount of composure and foucs to learn as many tricks as possible and then form them into lines.
