BMX Flatland with Terry Adams

If you don't know, BMX flatland is a sport that doesn't use ramps, rails or any obstacles. It is purely the rider and their bike on the ground. Some people describe this sport as artistic riding, but I feel it is more like bike juggling or bike break dancing. The amount of skill and practice necessary to achieve the control and balance it takes to perform these maneuvers is obvious upon first view. Take a look at Terry Adams using a dance floor like no one else can.

This video is shining example of what this sport is about. The rider and bike connected in ways you would not imagine. Terry Adams is one hell of a BMX rider, but most people have never even heard of him. This sport doesn't get the hype of dirt, vert or park, but you can tell the skill level is on the same level. Search out BMX flatland and be blown away by these amazing riders!
