My Rant on Making Better Flatland Web Edits

(appropriately revised version)

 i recently wrote a really shitty article about making flatland videos. i got lost in the process of writing it, put it out there too quickly, and didn't say what i meant to say. i've taken out all the bullshit, and just written out some general points that i think are relevant when filming and making a flatland video:

pay attention to what it looks like and edit tight. feel the vibe of the rider.  keep the camera steady. don't overcook the editing, and don't stray too far from the real meat of the video. if you film yourself, move the camera to different spots during the shoot for variety. don't use music that sucks. if you have fun, the video will have fun.
most importantly, watch your video and make something that you are proud of. 
don't hesitate to get help with things if it'll make for a better result.

Emerging Concepts in Flatland

There's a lot of talk (and action) about "trendiness" in flatland, and truth be told after watching a bazillion videos, yeah, there are a lot of people out there just recycling the same concepts. Recently I've been seeing some new concepts from all over the world, fresh ideas, distinct riding. I think every rider on some level dreams of unearthing a new concept to dive into and develop as their own. So my questions are, are you working on any new concepts? Have you seen anything in recent history that could be developed into a new style? Basically, what would you say, are the emerging concepts in flatland RIGHT NOW?

In my own riding, a small concept I'm just recently working on now came from a powerful dream I had about a year ago. It involved leaving the ground to initiate turbines in tricks; both 180's and 360's. It's probably not going to affect "flatland", but it's definitely an emerging concept in my own journey.

What are YOUR thoughts and experiences on this topic?

To start it off, let me mention just 3 concepts that were emerging several years ago and have had a profound effect on mainstream flatland: pumping, back-to-front and front-to-back wheel switches on a single wheel, and no hand/no foot tricks. There are plenty more...please discuss
