near 50/50 here too. I like to climb. But Mikes comments about working the pedals is true.. I do miss the ability for lifting the rear tire and bunny hopping when going over obstacles most but I understand a skilled flat rider can do this.
these are EASY flat pedal skills.
The things that are impossible unless your going to track hop, a skill that very few people have well(I considered my track hops pretty good, I can stand in place, go backwards forwards, and rotate in place both way, clipped in BTW), is climbing really technical trails. I always hear flat pedal riders say no problem, an then they have to get off and walk all the time.
The thing is despite all these supposely scientific test saying flats are better or nearly the same for efficiency, no pro road riders, XC, or CX riders are using flats, and very few enduro riders are. if flats were better more people would be using them.
I would stop trying to justify your pedal usage, if you like flats because you are unable to unclip due the way your body is, or unwilling to learn to unclip, then keep using them, but considering the vast majority of adult MTB rec rider ride somewhere in between XC and enduro but really just for fun, clips are better, but its doesnt matter, its not a competition.
If people want to get more comfortable on clips, go to some grass and practice tracks stands and track hops.
https://www.facebook.com/josh.matta.7 there is a facebook video I just posted that do to being a facebook video I can not link should be public. that shows a ton of people riding trials on clipless pedals. these situation are much harder than 99 percent of the people will encounter, well unless you live in Davis, Wv.
