this is like the equivalent of the skateboarding vs rollerblading argument.

example:

"i think blading is fun" - roller blader
"fruit booting is gay" - skateboarder

then just substitute longboarding for skateboarding and drift trikes for rollerbladers.

for reference, i do none of them.

Not true. Longboarding is more risky and takes greater balance and technical skill. For this shit you just have to know how to counter steer.

Where did he say that riding a trike took more skill than a longboard? I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove here.

this was probably invented by some guy that was too much of a pussy to keep up with his longboarding buddies so he built this shit

I'll stick to longboards too, but that looks fun going that fast on a trike. I'd just not slide.

and




sorry for the shitty quality, i was trying to find andy bells backflip to dirt, travis's mega ramp, and andy's rocket trike to foam pit, and i couldn't find the separate videos. i think nitro circus has pretty much handled the extreme tricycling scene. i hope they bring this show back, these guys are fucking insane

looks like fun but you would have to live near a lot of good hills because it would suck to ride that thing on the flat.

that's exactly what it is
i can't believe anybody is surprised by this

arguments are fucking gay

let's compare skydiving and skiing while we're at it

well skiing is performed on the ground the majority of the time, while in sky diving most of your time is in the air. however, the two are combined to create ski base jump, which is a type of skiing similar to sky diving. both sports are very intense and exciting, but only in rare accidents are people killed doing them.
