Just a question, I've never really understood how people determine a "technical" trick, so what exactly makes a certain trick technical and what tricks do u consider technical?

How I determine a tech trick:

Rails-anything above 2 on more than 2 swaps more than 4 out

Jumps-anything above a 9 anything more than a double

I usually think of technical as "unnatural" or "really fucking hard."

I feel like anything that doesn't come easily is technical. If you can just throw a trick without thinking about it its not technical, but if you have to think about how you're going to throw and really spot the landing thats technical to me

Introducing more aspects to the tricks that could cause you to fall makes it more technical. Adding screamin seaman, another spin, a butter, all these things make a trick more technical because they make that trick harder to execute.

I think of technical as like lipslides, and doing stuff unnatural or switch. And on jumps, I feel that cork 3's and 5's with a sick grab are some of the most technical. But I may be wrong
