tech isnt what you ride, its how you ride.
stan does huge tucks and turndowns, while jon reyes does fakie manuals and nose manuals. tech is using any obstacle to create a combo (ex. 180 bar to full cab to half cab double whip) instead of doing one big banger trick (ex. triple whip or truckdriver).
tech riders often do fakies, scooter fakies, manuals, and other flat tricks in combos. dan gutendorff, jon reyes, dan barrett, and jordan jasa are some of the best tech riders out there.
