I really like this part, but it's pretty questionable to have the ender be a very similar, slightly lesser, trick on the same spot that Manderson had his LSD ender on.
Rolled away into a different part of the bank, haven't been to that spot so don't know how it affects things, but a kicky front t is definitely not a slightly lesser trick than kicky back nose.
I agree that a kickflip front tail is usually a more difficult trick, but, in my opinion, Mike Anderson's was just executed better all around (higher kickflip, slid to the end and popped into the bank, landed cleaner and then rolled through the dirt without losing speed). I think Pall was right to have the trick in his part, but it's such a unique spot, and the tricks are similar enough, that to also have it as his ender made it seem less impactful. Had either of them put their respective trick somewhere else in their parts, I wouldn't have said anything about it. But since they both had them as their enders, you kind of have to consider and judge them in that context. Both are good tricks, for sure. But Josh's trick needed to be in a different category altogether (like a slide facing backside or something) to be used as an ender. And that, is my opinion.
