Re: Which is harder...
Kane, LOL!! First of all, that backflip i did was extremely technical and being able to do it at the right moment is what makes you good!!!!! LOL!!! I think the real name for that is the "now ya see me now ya dont" 
The acerobatics definatly get respect by me without a doubt, But where I grew up it didnt and still really dosent. Im just gonna have to come out there to the desert and learn that stuff with you and Pauly!!!
See you next week yo!

the ***** tricks, like acrobatics, bartricks to me are very valuable to have in your bag but are a total different catagory of tricks, ill agree.
endos on the other hand.... i think they are a have it or not kinda trick. i mean you can LEARN endos.. dont get me wrong, your not gonna throw 500 your first day.. but i think there are a lot of people (myself included) that no matter how much u practice them, and how lucky u get here n there (my longest is like ~730ft on camera) i am still not one of those 300ft approach off the brake flawless smooth fluid killer endo kinda cats... definately impressive to me.. but i think its more of a natural talent than learned. props!
while technical tricks are learned... some people have more trouble than others.. but u put the time, money, dedication and wrecks into it and anyone can learn circles and such..
not everyone can learn acrobatics.
**ive totally confused myself now.. and am going to bed!!
funny thing also tony, i dont really consider myself an acrobatic rider.. i feel i know enough acro to get by.. for instance.. houston. given the concrete and conditions i felt it was better to pull out acro for the judges and skimp out on the wheelie and endos (which i like) and take a chance of A) not hookin up and looking dumb! or B) BUSTING MY ***!!
**although u still pulled the best acro all weekend, u ditched the "SEX" girl with a badass backflip to "im taking a shower handle this ****!! hahaha!!**

Re: Which is harder...
I hate anyone who's got all 5, why'd you have to go and step the game up so far. Anyone who's got all 5 is not allowed to ride in my neighboorhood, I'll loose all my suburban street cred.
I know I'm just jealous

Re: Which is harder...
Switch Back Christ to acid drop would be so scary as hell, but i dont think it would take a huge amount of skill, just big furry *****, but a real long stoppie is pure skill and still alot of *****!!! i still voted for Switch Back Christ to Acid Drop though!!!! HC scrape what a joke, i was pullin heaps of them today hahahaha same with wheelie circles!!!! lol
