Surface swaps look so much better. With that being said i dont think it would look good if someone in an edit or something did only surface swaps.

Like any trick, edits look best with a nice mix of both.

i think he means blind swaps



but surface swaps are way easier to do than regular switch ups

A backswap can be both a surface or a sw up.

It all depends on what comes AFTER the swap/surface. On their own surface swaps look better, but if you took a front swap pretzel front 2 out and matched it up to a plain surface swap it's an easy win.

Pretty sure the last trick in that 11 edit was back swup not surface.
