BMX Flatland and the Nomadic Mindset

<p>If you look at the definition of "nomad" I feel that you will find a definite connection to the lifestyle we as BMX Flatlanders live. To me it doesn't just stop with BMX though. I think most action sports athletes can relate. In the winter months we struggle to find a place to ride away from the elements. For some of us this means moving to a different coast our even country for a few months. For others it is to attend a jam or contest. Then when summer rolls around we find ourselves searching for the perfect "spot". Be it a parking lot set apart from the hussle of the world, a set of stairs, an unknown rail, or an untouched slope. We are always "wandering" or moving about. We live partially for the sport and partially for the search. It's that "Nomadic Mindset" that sets us apart. It is this state of mind that I hope to capture and follow. I look forward to sharing these experiences with you!</p>
