Well Matt, I dont think that it only depends on practise, I think that there's a thing called the general progression of the sport. I mean that, for example, in 2002, scooterflips weren't done by many people (you will prolly say that you could do them in 1964 with a finger in your ass, but I dont care) and thus, they were considered good, hard and original tricks. Now, noobs learn them in no time and everybody's dissing them as theyre considered an easy and overrated - I even remember one person saying that scooterflips are easier than whips for him. This also applies also to backflips, 720s, etc. What I mean is that the progression of the sport makes the tricks easier to learn by not only more people that do the trick so the others can see how to do it when watching a clip or ask for tips, but also breaking some mental barriers. Its hard to do a trick when its considered impossible amongst others. I hope that this makes sense.
