i think you're am-mature when you can 360whip and truck. then when you can go fast as hell and do it down a set or drop, or can do 360 bri's and stuff NOT out of flyout, then you'd start being a little more on the pro side.

^^ what you listed as a pro is more like an flow rider. So far those three answers are bullshit. Pros are on such a greater level than you think they are. Dont just think about the tricks they can do, think about their ramp riding skills, consistancy and style. Those three things can only come from a lot of expirience. On a scale of 0-10, 0 being the worst, 10 being pro, ams need to be at like 7.5/10. Flow riders probably 5/10.

so do you think being able to like bri whip air like a 4 foot quater every try. i land most of the tricks i try mainly everytry. im just not the best at catching whips over sets and stuff becuase i ride ski. i can like truck and stuff a big 4 around my house. and what would you consider flyout? i know its out of a quater but is that it?

thats not true. sponsors dont look at the way you stand on your scooter. they look at how good you are, your attitude, amd your filming/editin ability

Pros have huge tricks, insane combos, and great speed and style, all with godly consistency.

I would say that consistency and style are probably the two main factors that increase my respect for anyone as a rider. Speed next, then combos, then big tricks.

the problem is nobody's consistent, at competitions usually the only people that land all of their tricks are kota or bonner.

I look at a good rider who always looks like they're comfortable on they're scooter, and know what its going to do when they move the slightest bit in any way. When they always look like they are just riding in a line, comfortably. But it doesn't really matter, just ride your scooter, please.

You can consider yourself intermediate when you can start making sorta good videos and competing in comps and not be dead last.
Skill level doesnt matter much when it comes to being pro. It's more what tricks you do on what things.
