looks fucking RIDICULOUS! can you guys do me a favour, and when you switch up, SWITCH UP... jump please... you wouldnt switch up like that on a rail, so why do it on rails with training wheels? pop! put some effort into it...

it looks kinda silly on boxes unless there is a kink, if its flat its better to just pivot

i agree that spinning on boxes is way fun, and im not gonna pop cause that's look even more rediclous. if i wanted to do a real sw up it'd be on a normal rail,.

there really is no brains behind this thread. this is just a public forum where i talk publically about the tricks/things i like/dont like when it comes to shredding. I dont like it when kids spin instead of pop, more of a search for other opinions then child hating hahaha.... but yea, pop you little bastards.

I kind of agree that they can look stupid, but you're totally right. Freeskiing is about doing what you want.
