It is impressive, and certainly takes some skill! Personally though I find with all the set elements (arms straight out etc), it can look a bit… rigid?
I much prefer flatland bmx for the individuality :)
Harder to fit two people on a BMX though I’ll admit.
Kunstrad, aka Artistic Cycling, is popular in Germany. Many amazing vids out there of talented women doing this stuff. What a cool sport!
It is interesting how rigid it is and their faces are a bit tight as well. I’m so used to the smiles and grace of professional ice-skaters. I wonder if that style will ever be adopted.
Jason co-founded 37signals back in 1999. He also co-authored REWORK, the New York Times bestselling book on running a "right-sized" business. Co-founded, co-authored... Can he do anything on his own?
