Thats the 10 year old who I was talking about, I don't really think he has much style or "flow" but he is good.

i ride for quite a long time (about 2 years) and i canÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?´t do much tricks but i think my style is quite ok and i prefer doing a stylish tailwhip than doing an ugly tripple because itÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?´s more fun to me

He must mean all those NJ kids who can do frontflips, tailwhip backflips and 360 briflip whips. No offence to them but they also seemed pretty weird to me, and kind of annoying with their awesome conditions: sick parks with foam pits and sick riders to ride with. And yeah, I also think they should work on their style.
We need to tell Jesse and a few other riders to go to another state one day... than fucking blow jersey up because it is the worst state ever, i hate it except for its free skateparks.

Alright well depending on what kind of rider you are this may not pertain to you. Depending on weither your riding style leans more towards biking or skating, I think Scootering has progressed way to fast, especially with young and up and coming riders. Kids are just learning as many tricks as they can and it's gay, Because none of them have style, You take a look at all the older guys and razor/micro team riders and you'll see talent, even some little kids have tricks over these guys, and I think that's gay, but it doesn't make the groms better because they don't haave style worth shit. This Thread goes out to all you Noobs and crazy ass little kids doing crazy briflip combos and flips. Work on your style...
Word. Just cause you can do a million tricks more than me off your 1 foot kicker in your driveway doesn't mean you know how to go big or flow which is what scores the style points.

Street CAN help your style but park is just as important because it teaches you how to flow and link lines together.

yeah I've been worrying about this too, I don't think i have enough style. So i've just been practicing my main tricks to get them totally consistant and stylish, its difficult though. and all them NJ kids do make me mad, they skip tailwhips and barspins and go straight to backflips and frontflips. its not fair to the unlucky kids like me, who don't have a local park, and the ones close are really bad.

but anyways i have really have no idea if i have style or not, I don't have a camera to film myself haha.
 
thats why i spent a year or so trying to clean things up and polish my style up. and god i still have a long way to go!

style is what i see to be the foundation of a riders tricks.
you can have a barspin versus a flair and if the person has a certain style throwing that barspin and the flair is just sloppy and plain the barspin wins in my book.
Style over Progression.

Alot of people need to learn how to JUMP gaps and stairs, actaully jump cause alot of you fuckers just lock your legs staight like your riding a rocket ship into space, Makes me sickkk.

ewww i hate that.
when people dont bend at all haha
 
yeah i had no style about a year ago, but ive been working on it still today.

to all the up and comers.. style works wonders.. it makes riding much more worth it because you get more of a rush flowing big stuff than you could ever get flyout.

ps. long pants work wonders batch.. hehe noon

i have no style....

i should work on flowing, but my local park is really hard to flow at. just saying, but i think that sean (babbboon) has one of the best styles ever in the world lol

its because you have seen him ride in person. nobody knows it but sean is seriously getting close to cary and coedie in airs. he goes so big. and sean flows park hardcore.

the thing about it is i ride my park and sometimes do no tricks except airs, single whips, barspins, and turndown. its just funner that flyouts or street in any way in my opinion. i can still do a million tricks believe me. but flowing with style is where it is at.


and bullshit erik you have g style dude i watch you ride. you clean brah

i totally agree with you eric. what bothers me more is not so much that kids are skipping to big tricks, but that they all skip to the SAME big tricks..EVERY new rider on this site can briflip, i guarentee it. and a good majority of people do way to much flyout stuff and not enough of everything else. just as an example, riding kickers for the first 2 years of my riding definately doesnt develop any flow or anything, so i ride talent, have to drop into a 9 foot quarter just to clear a 3 foot box, over in jersey jesse is dropping into a quarter 1 foot smaller, and comboing a box like twice as big.. thats about when i realize i need to work on it.

Yeah I ride street every other weekend when I go to my dads and some during the week in the south but I got a park there. I work on my style. Yeah right now I am into tailwhips, 180s, feebles, 180 fakies, disaster stalls and those sort of tricks. If you check out my vid that is all I am currently doing. Bri flips and scooter flips are good tricks but if you skip the tricks I do you wont be a good rider. Thats what I learned on SR just to learn the basics and then start progressing. I ride at my park but I ride street alot equally. Up North where my dad lives there is no parks so I love to go to street spots.s

Well i must be gay im from nj.
i dont think you are one of the kids people are talking about, in your video its not like every trick is a bri flip and a backflip, you mix it up with whips, grinds and 360s.
