The Flatland BMX Bike

Ever since its creation in early 1970s, BMX riding has advanced into several different settings mainly because of the “freestyling” skills of its pioneers. This aspect of endless invention has endeared the sport to many. But just like any creative sport with its own sanctioning body, such as diving, figure skating, gymnastics, or slam dunk competitions, categories have to be set and recommendations applied whilst creativity continues to be inspired and perfect performance targeted.

 

Thus, freestyle BMX or stunt riding now contains five disciplines: street, park, vert, trails/dirt jump and flatland.

 

Flatland BMX is often a riding style performed on smooth flat floors sans the ramps, jumps or grind rails. A neat phrase to put it will be “a way of artistic cycling having a blend of breakdancing and encompassing certain facets of martial arts and Zen meditation as the discipline.”

 

Most flatlanders would tend to be very devoted to perfecting their flatland strategies, in contrast to the riders of other disciplines who are able to switch from street to part to dirt jump and vert at any moment. One of the many reasons for this is actually the minimized stability of handling shorter bikes on ramps, dirt and street; yet the shorter wheelbase makes it much simpler to help them to spin or stand the bike on one wheel.

 

Their tricks are carried out by balancing and spinning on the bike in a variety of unforeseen positions, working with four of either knurled/grip taped aluminium or plastic pegs—one on the end of each and every wheel hub or axle—to get up on and control it to even more revolutionary acts.

 

Dependant upon their style and choice, flatlanders could also opt for a front brake, a dual front brake with two levers then one brake cable, front and back brakes, or no brakes whatsoever. The flatland bike would also have customized frames with geometry worthy of the users’ needs, when it comes to head tube angle, top tube length, and all that jazz.

 

Can you ground navigation unit and parking brake cable and mute wire tot he same groudn cable?

I got Pioneer Avic F-90bt and in order to bypass it i need to ground brake cable (from wiring which comes with Pioneer) and ground mute wire. Is it okay if i connect it to the ground wire,which I used for the unit iself or it might cause fire. IT is BMW x5 2002 and i am using stock stereo wiring harness.

U do not need to ground ur parking brake for any reason. U need to just bypass those wires. Just ground the wiring well and u should be oka..me and a friend who works for pionner just put in a similar unit in his car we this is wht we did and it works fine. Unless ur vechile is equiped with some type of moving sensors then u might have a problem. I have heard from people that there was no way to bypass this sensor unless they took on the fuse running it. good luck
