Tech is not boring, the thing is you need to land the tricks flawlessly to be a good tech skater, and most skaters are not good in flipping their boards like Shane O'Neill is.
There are, however, undefendable combos (nollie shuv it smith heelflip out, for insance) no human being should dare to try.
Its all subjective. I'm sure you will disagree with how I feel.
I find people doing tricks flawlessly is boring. All the skaters who are robotic machines in how they can land tricks is just so uninspiring to me. It makes it look easy and then they are artificially adding style to their tricks?
I'm sure it would look AMAZING in person, but for some reason on video it just saps the tricks of any and all personality.
I think in a lot of artistic disciplines, when you take away the imperfections you take away the humanity. You take away what makes you unique. We all skate imperfectly (as if there is such thing as perfectly) and those flaws and differences are what make up our "style". To do tricks flawlessly but then intentionally manipulate your movements as if it's another "layer" to the trick... it often ends up feeling strange and disingenuine to me.
It's like a punk band missing a few notes and genuinely not caring, vs. a major label pop-punk band having every thing played perfectly by studio musicians to a click-track with pitch corrected vocals. They're all homogenized towards sounding like each other. And then despite that the band acting like "we just don't give a flying flip bro" as this after the fact disingenuine aesthetic.
Hopefully I am putting what I feel into words properly without coming off as pretentious. I've never tried to communicate it before. It's hard to convey "feelings" into words.
