i think tripples flat are FUCKIN SEXYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and who really cares about how others are riding? just ride for fun and stop crying like a lil bitch

Or you could just quit crying like a litlle bitch and go ride. Just an idea.

bhahaha tommy can probably do 3x more whips flat than you can fly out!

i'm getting really tired of flyout quad tail fingerwhips, quintuple tails and stuff like that. i just see scootering going to ridiculous flyout videos where kids boost then spin the scooter around. i'm not saying that isn't hard, and props to the guys who can do that, but id really like to see smoother riding and actually flow. i would rather watch a video of someone flowing through a park clearing gaps and hips smoothly just straight airing them than watch a video of a kid doing a briflip barspin quad tail out of a qp. i also would wanna see more stuff get done on rails. iv just been learning BS 270s out ant FS 270s out. im trying to earn them into rail at the moment. theres so much progression left but i dont think people are seeing it because of this techy thing that you gotta do triple whips on flat.

thats my opinion. im not calling anyone out.

The smartest and possibly best thing I have read on here in a while. Totally and 100% agreed.

I think if this was posted by someone older on the scene people would take it seriously.

PS: I agree with the triple flat statement. I don't care if you do them, but im not gonna start.

As much as I am biased to what people like Travis, etc. are saying, I don't think it's possible to just change somebody around like that. Just let people do triples flat, or quad tailwhips to barspins or briflip to triple whips or whatever because those tricks are what shapes themselves as riders. If we all rode in exactly the same way, how boring would it be to keep on watching videos of people doing nothing but turndowns and tables/or quad whips and scooterflips if you look at it the other way around. So all it comes down to is ride for fun and ride how you want to ride, not for some trick "fashion trend" that someone wants you to follow..

You missed my point man, I don't really care how people ride, its not my choice. Heres what I am saying:

If you see a video and its all fly outs of quads etc. would you be impressed? If you were a bystander of the sport would it look professional to you? This all spikes up the touchy issue of this sport and its current potential to be a huge thing in the would of action sports. There are few things holding us back, age of the sport being a big one but not the only one. I am also not saying those people whom do 95% of their stuff flyout are keeping us back either, so just in case anyone was gonna put words in my mouth.

Maybe I am in a negative mind set here but I still agree with the original poster in terms of smooth and flowy (this still appys to the tech guys, you CAN have this in a run) is much better then constant flyouts.

And perhaps im not saying 100% whats on my mind.

yeah I guess I did misunderstand what you were trying to say, but really I couldn't give a dead horses last shit how and where the sport progresses over the next few years.. sure it's good that people are trying to get it to progress and I have the utmost respect for those people (ie. matt dibble (for XW), whoever organized TIC (I think bartnicki?), and andrew for pretty much everything lol.. plus more). As always Travis, you make a very good point, but personally, I think that as long as I have the privilege to be able to go out to the park or on the street and ride just for pure fun, I think that is my main priority. Fuck progression of the sport, fuck competitions, fuck sponsors, as long as I can go out and ride and have fun then fuck it all..

And about a year ago I made a post about this same sort of thing and it looked exactly like yours. In a way, I wish I still thought like that.

okay, when in my post did i say that everyone should start riding how i want them to????? huh???? nowhere. dont say i did. im not editing it so you can go check. im not bitching, never was. what i was saying was THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SPORT GO, not everyone stop riding how u want to and listen to me only.

IT IS MY OPINION and nothing more.

I didn't follow that fight so I don't know if what Im gonna say is off topic or not, but Id like to see more people who learn air tricks straight over the box instead of flyout. There are some already, like Terry, Brandon Kilbury or me, but I'd like to see more people doing that.

I did. All the stuff at the end of my minivideo was learned at the local indoor park over the flybox. For example, my first whip to whip and bar to whip was made over that flybox.

Flyboxes:
- you just have to land it so clean or else you will crash;
- have a nice gap, gaps are dank!
- you'll still maintain a high speed after landing a trick over a flybox. Good for flow.
