Leandre Sanders is a mutant and science is ignoring him
« on: October 09, 2021, 07:49:16 AM »
I know there have been many threads and articles about the laterality or genetic predisposition to natural stance and Leandre, but every time I see this guy skate it blows my mind. If humans have a genetic predisposition towards a particular board stance, it's almost like he has either altered or modified that predisposition or that he possibly has a separate genetic predisposition for skating transition and flatground.

Even the best switch skaters have their tells, and Leandre has his as well. If there were no tells to a natural predisposition for him you could say he was a truly stanceless skater, but when he skates up the transition wall regular it is clear he is not as naturally predisposed, and vice versa on street. Slap scientists need to get on this ASAP. These are just a couple examples that freak me out:

He certainly has the talent, but he will forever be wack as fuck for a multitude of reasons I have no interest in listing off.

Agreed. He is not relevant to my interests. Tiago is a GOAT. This guy is not.

But who else could equally fail two runs in switch or regular?

He got (a) run this time. It just sucked compared to all other runs.

I thought he was pretty sick at first too. But then Berra happened and he got more coverage and it became apparent that he’s not that rad outside a skatepark. Kinda the worst case scenario of the whackest shit modern skating has to offer. Lame sponsors, only skates parks, IG over real parts, and awful taste.

I'm not arguing that he is the greatest switch skater, I am just fascinated by the way his stance naturally changes between street and transition. There is no other skater that I know of that has that natural shift and I am interested in how.

Seems like you are predisposed to have a predisposition about his predisposed stance or his predisposition to follow the ways of predisposed natural riding direction.
My predisposition is that he is predisposed to choke on berras dick and disappear into obscurity.

My friend snowboards goofy and skates regular.

Some transition tricks are easier for him switch like blunts or frontside 360.

Steve ruined sanders career before it started. Scientology is a curse

I do that too!

I snowboarded first and when I started to skate it just felt better to roll with the other foot forward. I do not have a lot of switch tricks, but for what it’s worth I am great at pushing around switch.

 It just seems like Leander has two different stances for street and transition. It is not that he has no stance. As was already pointed out above Thiago or AVE are way better at skating switch in the Street.

I am not from LA, nor am I even American so I wonder why so many people seem to hate The Venice Beach park and its locals. Apart from Leandre‘s Berrics association he seems like an OK guy whenever I see a clip about him. I don‘t really get the hate.

Too bad leandre didn’t pay more attention to what happened to Cody cepeda when Berra got to him. Gassed him up and then he went no where. Same shits gonna happen to leandre.

More importantly, why is cheese orange in America? The rest of the world eats yellow cheese, why have Americans decided cheese should be orange? It makes no sense

Many people prefer to skate some features regular or goofy without thinking of it as switch. A few also surf or snowboard the opposite stance they skate such as jed anderson.

Annatto was a new ingredient to American cheese mongers and they used it as a mechanism to distinguish their cheese.

I dunno if you are American (in which case you already know) but not all cheese is orange over here. It's specifically the Cheddar.
