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

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


I feel like that's the kind of trick you'd enjoy.

like super wraped with your arms crossed against your chest straight as a boner.


you know kind of like your backfulls

413Crewit 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.

You forgot about Jossi, atleast.

Just because Henrik is the only one with a tall T on doesn't mean that he's the only one with style. Kenworthy, Brown, Woods, and even Goepper all have effortless style it seems. Here's an edit by Gus. I think you'll find it satisfactory.
