Staff review:

I realized I have not seen a How-To dvd for years now. Probably since How-To are not recorded on VHS to say the right. First I was happy to know that the how-to was focused on footage and not on words. But I was curious to see how they filmed so many tricks from so many riders for teaching the art of riding flatland. And I have to admit they find the right way to do it: take images of the same tricks from various point and from two or more riders. Then, you can see similarities and differences from one person to another. Of course, it requires a little more concentration, but it is a quality for riding freestyle, right? They choose to part the difficulty from level 1 to level 5; Some will ask why that trick is in the level 2 and that one in the level 4. It depends on many people's view, anyway their classification seems quiet relevant. The second part of the dvd show riders doing their routine and you can understand how they do everything their own way, how they link from one trick to another, etc. To sum up 3edge-school in a few words: It may not be the most efficient how-to but it is the one from you won't only learn tricks but make you think about how you want to ride. And it's all Flatland is about.
