Tricks that pros can't do?

So after watching some Vars skate comps it got me thinking if there are some tricks that pros are just stuck on for example B dog wasnt able to get misty 450's and it looked like gus couldnt do a non corked spin past 10 off a cannon box which to me seems like a pretty staple trick on the professional level. Anyways just wondering if any of you guys know of some tricks that are relatively easy for pros that some of em cant do

I know people have trouble with like wizard tricks and stuff and like 360 screamin seamons but 450 misty shouldnt be that much of a problem for a pro

No, they used CGI and skilled editing to make it look like he landed it. Everyone knows that.

There's a bunch of tricks that pros can't do because they've never really practiced them, and because there's a lot of tricks in skiing. For example, I've never seen Will Wesson do a 450 on, I've never seen Lars Tynes spin to the right, I've never seen Dom Laporte look over his left shoulder switch, etc. They're all amazing at what they do, they just can't be good at every tricks. Even if you take someone like Wallisch, or Hatveit, guys that have pretty much every trick, they can't do some of the stuff Casabon does, because that's not what they focus on.

Very few pros have actually done sw cork 3 so sw dub cork 7 might be pretty far away

it seems like most "pro" skiers that go to olympics and x games dont have lots of style except edollo. but id rather watch a stylish edit over like nick goepper on tv who has like no style just my opinion.

Are you serious? why would a straight up 1170 out of a cannon box be a staple trick for a pro? nobody does that

highly doubt that you've done it. And I also doubt hundreds of kids have. I bet there's under 15 people who have done proper sw 3s
