Ah, another good point. This is going to be a good thread. I'm leaving work now and when I get home later I better have the popcorn and tall glass of booze ready to go.

all in a weeks work to combine tricks to look good. i knew youd say somthing john hahaha. i see were your coming from though. im not saying im pro at all. i do have pro skills although some of my exacutions are not up to par however there there. im just saying what makes a pro a pro and what makes a amature an amature. take a look at teach all of his tricks are very well planed out and exacuted perfictly you can easly say hes a pro and hes well known. im shure theres guys out there that are good but are not known what are they amature or pro. again what makes a pro and what makes an amature.
