well everyone's different but for the most part flatland takes a long time to learn since you have to learn one trick at a time. Since you learned a manual already you don't have balance problems which is critical in flatland. But try learing basic flatland tricks like firehydrants and stuff like that... go onto youtube and look up some flatland tricks and even buy a flatland video if your really gonna commit to it... but yeah flatland is a hard as h**l to learn but it pays off cause once you know some tricks it looks sick as h**l. look up matt willhelm cause he's really good and you could also go onto danscomp.com and think about getting a flatland frame with light parts which will help you a ton! have fun dude
