flat base is defo a skill worth getting comfortable with.
without getting technical (coz i lack the grapes for such) if you are applying an edge, then you are using friction. if you use friction then you slow down. if you are riding on flat, you need all the speed you can get.
more flat = need more speed = want less edge = go more flat
control ain't worth shit if it means you have to unstrap and walk, as the
dicks with sticks whizz past, pushing away with self-assurred grins. bar stewards!
