my thoughts on why "creative" skating is frowned upon:
1. dudes like this guy take it seriously. if the same tricks were done by someone like brad cromer, brian anderson, or mark gonzalez, and just put in between clips in a montage, it would be sick as fuck. those are goofy tricks.
2. ugly. go take your one footed manuals somewhere else.
3. no matter how you got there, once your board leaves your feet and you are holding onto your nose, you're doing a caveman. no one wants to see cavemans, man.
