koston is boring for decades all the vert dudes (90s) is who was boring until they started building those too big matt hoffman ramps ! I saw a vert contest or two and those dudes were terminally unwatchable except for RUNE! No, he did not need a mega ramp and it was JAW DROPPING, i cannot emphasize the cassum that seperated him from everyone else (bob lasek mckay whoever) just night and day. (funny enough bob half fliped a switch flip,landed on vert wall grip down, reached down and flipped it the rest of the way with his hand, and rolled away some how, the crowd went apeshit and the judges gave bob and his 2 ft airs a higher score than rune !! )
