I switched to flats almost 15 years ago, and I became a better bike rider. At first it really sucked, but then the magic happens. You have to flow with the bike much more - it is symbiotic relationship between you and the bike - weighting and unweighting in parallel. It is awesome! It brings out the best in mountain biking, in my biased opinion.
