Try doing any trick over a chain link OR into a steep bank, let alone a combo. I once got a hole to the bone on the shin just ollieing a chain link. Dude did 13 tricks in an afternoon.
Exactly. Not to downplay what Hoban did at the SLS Hubba contest, but that was totally different.
It was behind some warehouse in a controlled environment, the "pavement" was some kind of bouncy wood with bricks painted on them (check Gifted Haters video about the contest,) there were multiple heats, and P Rod was handing out money right and left.
Hoban did 9 tricks each of an incredible technical level and most of them clean, but some of them a bit sketchy (like kf nosegrind 180 out landing in a short fakie manual)
Still incredible but a huge difference from Penny's absolutely perfect executions. On a technical level the tricks are hard to compare since the spots are so different still I think Penny's session is still the best ever filmed at a single spot in a single session.
