I like people being critics too, it always help to improve. No matter the level, improvement is always possible and that's why I am addicted to this sport.
I grew up with Ryan Leech videos too and I remember how he was accurate, smooth and quick execution.
I like (BC) oppo 180 slider from Sean Watson because steez.
I like a street guy upping to 90 a square rail with 9hops . I won't care about hops because skillz
Anyway I prefer creativity over "rules" but doing this kind of big Manny drop isn't creative, it's just about balls. It ruins steez when BCs / useless hops happen.
It's like a lot of Fr hungry riders who get out to film "bangers" quick. "i did that banger first try" lets go to another crazy spot... And repeat.
Beside the performance...where is the soul?
I like that video but it's frustrating to see how smooth/good Yohan is in some lines, and totally missed some .
I won't never be able to do this kind of moves anyway .. but it's still my way to think.
