Posted a vid on myspace. Just a small vid of some of the stuff I can pull off and some of the stuff I'm workin on. Even includes a couple hang 5 attempts towards the end. haha Definately not used to the rear wheel comin up into the air while I'm rollin.. But the trick will come eventually.. vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1257526417It's my first edited vid and put it together with Windows Movie Maker, so its not really anything too fancy.

Dude, that was pretty good. You seem to have good balance, so I'd say it's just a matter of time before you're hitting bigger tricks. On the hangfive, it seems like you're too far back when you're trying to lift the bike up. You have to be almost in position before you lift the back end. Check out this site www.bmxtrix.com for tips on the hangfive (just go to the "how to" -> "flatland area"

Hey thanks for the comment and suggestions. I'm kinda stuck out here in a small town in the middle of BFE. One of my buddies is the only other person in town that enjoys riding flatland and but he doesn't really ride all that much. So I don't have anyone better than myself to ride with and learn first hand from. bmxtrix is actually where I got the idea to try leanin back a little further on the hang 5's. I know it does seem rather difficult to get ahold of the seat after it comes up with so much throwing motion, but I think over time I'll get the feel for how to get the rear up and will be able to do it with less effort. Kind of like when you first learn a wheelie you like use all of your strength possible to get the front wheel up.. Then after you've done it so many times it starts becoming easier and less effort is required. Atleast thats my idealogy on it. lol Also I've noticed on my handlebar rides that I seem to fall to the left every time so I think I may be over compensating when I bring my right leg around.. I'll probably be workin more on that in the next few days as well. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Hopefully more will follow. After watchin vids of like David Weathersby and the Austin TX crew I was a little hesitant to post it. Definately some awsome riders on here..
