It's mindboggling how he has this much board control and has skated for this long but can't seem to flick or jump properly. I really want to see a clip of him just jumping on his feet as high as he can, maybe that would clear things up a bit. I feel like he literally can't jump over a foot in the air.
The gaps he skates are insane though.
you dont actaully need that much flick is the thing its a very subtle movement. he is not kickflipping the same way 99% of people do it, he is doing it "mob" but he has it super dialed and it is a much better method for doing hardflip rotation and quad flips but i think it is less ideal for trying to go high + over something which is why i think most people stick to the penny/reynolds/steve olson style flick + catch
lol idk if anyone else noticed there is not a single grind in the entire part
just a noseslide doubleflip i think (which was dope!)
it should have been called "up river"
but upstream gives me the same vibe without directly ripping it off heh
