X-Games Different look at it

When i watched the x-games, i noticed that tricks aren't just straight forward tricks anymore. Like a switch rodeo or somethin. Now its just a switch 7 w/ a tweaked grab that makes it look sick. Ya know... its not like its, cork 7 anymore. I just think its sick its getting more into like, styled out on axis YET still off axis tricks. Or like dumont, styled out 5's, etc... like you look 2 years ago and everybody was doin like, a perfect cork 7 to a perfect switch rodeo etc... now its like, they're all just spinning but they're taking parts of those tricks and incorporating those parts into their tricks, while they stay pretty up right styling out an ill grab at the same time. Just wondering if anybody noticed this kinda. LIke this year was the most on axis year of all maybe, yet the most progressive and different way of things being done than i've seen. i might be totally messed up tho so just tell me what you think of it. peace

i noticed that too, but i wouldn't say that it was all on axis, seemed to me there were a lot of new axises and combinations of spins. i'm pretty sure i heard an announcer refer to one trick as 'a corked-out flatspin'. maybe i'm the idiot, but is he just making stuff up to sound cool? i know quite a few of those guys have no idea what they're talking about

dumont should have gone to 10 on his jumps, he woulda made top 5 with that. i loved his off axis 270 safety over the down kink... he gets way more flat in the air than the rest and tweaks for a long time.
