A few of the edits as of late (especially from some of the more progressive pro’s) have featured the newest park rat trend – shifty landings. I’m not sure what to think of them. Sometimes I think they look like complete shit and ruin a trick, otherwise I’m kind of indifferent to them.. I have yet to see a trick really made by the shifty landing.
Here is the edit that got me thinking about the trick – Dane’s edit from the latest NS article. The shifty landings that throw me off are at 1:14, ,2:19 and 2:25. (Overall though, this edit is amazing)
