^ The point or the argument? My point was Daewon can do pretty much everything into and out of a manual or nosemanual, and I have never seen anybody who can only land a trick two wheeled, so add it up...

Im gonna have to go with child of the ghetto. You can flip into a manuel on two wheels every try, turn around and play a game of skate, and not be able to put four wheels down on flat on the exact same trick.. Skateboarding is weird like that. Ask anyone who flips out or into manuels alot. You get so used to using the tips of your toes, that sometimes your flip tricks end up lookin worse on flat. (Jermey rodgers uses the tips of his toes alot when he does flip tricks and it looks gross,) Ive never seen daweon skate flat so maybe hes amazing at it. But by saying because someone can flip into ledges and manuels their flat land is consistent, is just not accurate.
Do you actually know anybody who can do a bunch of flip in flip out manuals who isn't consistent as fuck at flatground tricks?
soooo you missed danny montoyas battle at the berrics games? oh and joey brezinskiz?
I saw that, and I saw a lot more....
Brezinski made it to the second round, and lost to Mike Carroll, another tech skater. 3 of the last 4 skaters in the final 4 were known for their abilities to flip into our out of grinds or manuals (Billy Marks does it on handrails, but all he seems to do is flip to grind/slide on rails, and has admitted he prefers flipping onto a rail to ollieing onto it). The guy who won the whole thing was known for his ability to flip into and out of manuals and grinds. Montoya is a tech skater, but he is not on the level of a Daewon. Do you not see the difference between Danny Montoya, Joey Brezinski, and Daewon?
Cherry pick your facts much? Looking at the whole picture (and I saw the whole thing) my theory is supported more often than it is disproven.
Also, I am not saying that other types of skaters (those guys who huck flips over big gaps are really good too) can't do well, but to say you aren't sure if Daewon has good flatground is fucking stupid
