Mikkee... so you say that balancing on 1 wheel is more impressive and not "gay" like doing acros? So you are telling me it doesn't take any balance to do an elevator? How about elevator to high chair? How about elevator to skitch up to christ? I think every single one of those takes amazing balance.... how do I know this?? B/c I've done them all and it's harder than it looks to do those consistantly time after time again. Personally, I ride for 2 reasons: 1) I enjoy this sport and it takes me away from everything else, and 2) to do something other people can't do in turn impressing them.

So if you think b/c a guy does a front flip off a bike and it parks on the kick stand, and his run was all acros with a crowning moment as a dismount... try looking at his entire run b/c I'm sure it wasn't full all acros. Like many have said, acros break up a run that is routine.... SHOWS = CROWD PLEASERS, COMPETITION = TECHNICALITY. The XDL show contained very little acros during the main run, you had to be precise and on point with your stunts. Now individual freestyle is where you find out those who have bags of tricks other than all stunts.

Besides... almost all the people I know who knock acros, don't have the ***** to try an elevator or even leave their seat. If you truly compete in shows, good luck man... b/c your shows will get old after about the first 5 mins when you've run out of circles, seat standers, burn outs and high chairs.

And Mikkee how can you say this is not sick! This skill level to do this trick is off the charts and the risk is high. The croud loves it and in my eyes flips would score a ton for acro points in a comp.

so your saying that Thew, Arron Brunelle, Dmann, Twight and many others arent talented riders?
