I hear about different riding styles all the time on this site. The only thing I cant seem to figure out is what these styles are. What are the different riding styles and how do they differ from others. WHo has what style so that maybe I can understand it a bit better.

Is this a serious question

i have no idea what you mean

A STYLE IS A WAY A RIDER DOES THINGS HE MIGHT HAVE THE SAME TRICK AS ANOTHER BUT IT MAY LOOK 100 TIMES BETTER DEPENDING ON HIS STYLE

like styles like in how they ride

Kane= choppy on the edge but fun to watch
Darius= Splittin wigs with technical stuff
Mana... do i even gotta say it

someone can have bigger and better bag of tricks than you, but you can compensate that with style - it's what you make certain trick look like...

I cant see as much as much as most of you.... but I think the stuff to look for is.... how rigid someones body is while they are doing something

or how relaxed the look.... knees bent vs. straight legged
knees bent would appear a little more tense (like i ride ..LOL) Straight legged would look a little more relaxed (i think)

Also other things would be....a throttle choppin rider ( the nose of the bike is always bobbin' around) vs. a smooth throttle jockey who you could barely tell if they shifted a gear in the air....

and another style variation could be.... someone doing a hard trick...and holding it for a long time...like 10 seconds....or a whole pass vs. someone who busts out really fast short tricks ....but does like 6 different poses, in that same 10 second pass.

does that help ? just a few things to look for Enjoy

some people look like robots, doing it smoothly all the time

other people look like they're about to crash all the time, but still pull off the hardest tricks

oh ok ya I see what you guys mean now. Makes sense because I have noticed these things, just never knew that it was considered a style. Thanks for all the info this really help out alot.

this is one of those sports that completly depends on style.

there would litterally be no point to any of this without that certain style.

im not sure if that makes sense but somebody out there agrees
