^wow bold statement for your 1st ever post...that rail has been getting killed...
i say kangaroo flips. no way a trick that won big air 3 years ago should have won big air this year, double flips were invented to impress gapers. leave the "badass" image to gayass freestyle motocross, style over spin please.
kangroo flips are played bc everyone is turning into double backflip 180s.
And unless they're in the back country, double frontflips need to go. people were doing double front flips knee grabs in x game big airs like 7-8 years ago. Why they are coming back i have no clue
People were doing hucked 10s back then too, but that doesn't make a nice 10 any less cool. Likewise, a stylish double flip is also cool. Jacobs double corks and several people's kangs look great. Just because some people don't do the trick well doesn't mean the trick sucks- I've seen tons of shitty switch 7's, but some people's switch 7's are dope.
I wouldn't say a trick really, but a japan grab is pretty much being put into everything, lets see some other grabs to go with your kangaroo flips and rodeos...
I'm not hatin on double flips or double corks but when people are doing double fronts flips and double backflips nowadays they look no different than they did like 7-8 years ago, its not like they're throwing in some new/difficult grab or something
people have done lots of other tricks on that rail too, it's just the most legit thing at pc to disaster so that's what people disaster on. and a single barrel rail is pretty much the only thing that is cool to 450 on to anyway so it's either that or the assortment of 10 foot long down rails.
Switch 10 when was the last time you saw a big air comp where no one threw one? At the US Open this year that is the only trick that was throw in the final few rounds...
How about BOXES, BOXES, more BOXES and NO RAILS!!! What happened to kids grinding rails. Boxes aren't hard to grind. In fact they're the easiest thing to grind. They aren't that cool!
hand drags are being done a whole lot, and often not very well. rodeo 5's really took off this season, everyone and their grandma be doing those.
both those things are fun tricks though, so if I'm out on the hill its not like i'm not going to do them because so many homies be doing it, but i wouldn't put a lot of those things in my promo, just because i'd want to keep it fresher, with say...misties and nollie 270's, both of which we could use more of.
