Flatspot is something that can occur when you are sliding. It means that you have worn the wheel at exactly the same point, which has caused the wheel to no longer be round but become flat in one place. The risk is that when you continue sliding, the wheel has a tendency to stop in exactly the same position again and the flat area grows.
The occurrence of a flatspot is due to the fact that when the slide is performed, the board should never be at 90° to the direction of travel. This means that the wheels can no longer spin. You always strive to have a greater or lesser angle than this in order to ensure that the wheels can always spin while wearing them.
Would you have encountered a flat spot? Here is a good tip on how to remove them..
