I wish you guys lived closer to me. I could be your project...that would keep your boredom down. I want to be able to do that stuff. Right now (when the roads aren't so bad) I work on spinning the handles, but that is about all I can do (besides stupid stuff to get use to the bike). So, naturally I still think that stuff is cool. But I would like to see some basic stuff out there and naturally I'd like to see people come up with there own ideas!

yeah i totally agree, cuz any one in my mind can do one, its just being brave enough to do it.
I want to see more technical tricks then just throwing your self around in the air, all though i do like the turn down...

don't get me wrong I like all of the tricks, but it's how often they're shown.
I like the way Corey Martinez rides as an example he mainly does something like 5-10 tricks including tailwhips, 3s, turndowns, but he doesn't throw them anywhere and rides technically too. at least in his clips it's like this. I have had the pleasure to see him ride only once at the Rebeljam in Berlin and he seems to be a very technical ride.
I think the mix of hart tricks and technical stuff is what I like about him, eventhough this was just an example and there are others, who ride in a good style as well.
So I hope there will be more kids, who begin to ride and vary their \"trickabulary\" and not just copy everything the pros do at the moment.
At last I really love the grounded video, Rubens part is just insane

Well the way i see it is, everybody starts some where. Remember your first 360? Or when you learned to hop up the curb? That was the real deal, i think its just about the same thing today. The second you learn some thing new that what you photograph. We are in serious need of a new bag of tricks. I am just waiting for the next big thing to come out. We should go backwards, lets all go learn some old school stuff.

But they feel good to do i assume, so the riders having fun. But i guess for a video i can see what you mean, videos need to be more creative, with footage that makes your mouth drop. You need to have a good style too, internet made videos to easily available.
My mouth dropped when i was watching a Ferrari on Top Gear the other day, that car was fast.

Dude dont go and talk shit... If some one likes the trick let them ride and have a good time. and just by how you put that into words im sure you cant do either of these tricks. so keep that in mind.

The greatest thing about riding is the freedom to do whatever you want...and if that means doing 60 tailwhips in 5 mins then thats fine. If you dont like it tough shit. Just like t.v., if you dont wanna watch something, change the channel. Function before fashion...

Whips can get old quick probably because its what you see alot of in videos these days. Whips are cool, dont get me wrong, but when you do them every 10 seconds, it's predictable.
In a short web vid of Kevin Porter he does a tailwhip at the end as his last banger trick. You know he has whips dialed... so naturally, you dont want him to whip for his whole video part.
If you watch any webvideo of Cranmer, his whips are so predictable. It's just not fun to watch if they film like this. You know?
No beef towards anybody or whips in general. 
This is Red Panda. Due to our own ignorance, he has become an endangered species. Please help save the rainforests so they have a place to live... You wouldn't want Red Pandas tearing down your home.
