1. So glad to see it back again. I love seeing all the great kids that are slaying.
2. Have you all seen the rule changes?
       -No repeated tricks (except different angles on the dirty tricks)
       -Only 25 switch-ups allowed

The first is obviously understandable, but it's going to be weird having to count those switch-ups. They just add style to a trick!

Whats the general consensus?

I don't think Tom even had this many swaps in his SU vid, so it won't be that big of a deal.

level one doesnt need another cab10 spinning, tripple switchupping kid. they need steeze and innovation, or straight up crazy urban to keep up with the current cast

An example from last year, Marty Bullet had 34 switchups in a 4.5 minute video (only counting 3swaps as a single switchup). Under 25 in 2.5 minutes should be easy as pie.

A few switch up are cool shows you have control on a rail but seriously more than like 2 on one rail makes you look like a rollerblading doucher....2 is even pushing it....love the new rule.

Given that you can't repeat tricks, I would be amazed if any kid finds himself cutting footage because of this rule. Think how many variations you would need to have that many switch ups in an edit without repeating a trick.
