Damn, that was sick! Ruff had a good style too - I kind of slept on him because he wasn't in any of the videos I saw as a kid. Is that Gonz's goofy YouTube channel?
I hadn't heard about that Lindloff guy but he's got nice ones. All the 80's guys had good ones: Blender, Grosso, Lance, Tony, Phillips, etc.
Winkowski's are still gross to me. He's not grabbing before the transition anymore but he still in this low knuckle dragging stance the whole way up in a way that none of the aforementioned guys did. Impressive stall though.
i can't disagree with any of this--as i say above, he is carrying on the tradition, but you're right, it pales in comparison. i wonder if part of that is that Winkowksi does not wear pads and that fucks with the kind of confidence pads provide (unless we're talking about Clay Kreiner, who simply seems not give a fuck)? or because he's not "classically trained" on vert (i'm half joking on that last one, i just think that's a fun designation and wanted to say it out loud)?
i didn't watch that Berrics shit...how the fuck do they make a video about an invert on a comparatively small quarter last almost 5 minutes? i went to open it, and the first thing is some boob with his arms out saying god knows what...how many kooks are babbling in front of the camera before the actual invert goes down?
