i've never paid attention to these things till the last couple years, so I assume this has been discussed.
Seeing that this is just freestyle skating with rules of conformity, how come someone like mullen or even kilian martin doesn't come in and just sweep these things with untraditional/uncool tricks? After seeing the swede almost take out PJ with fun tricks rather than the latest greatest tech trick it made me realize their must be some code of conduct these need to maintain in order to compete. Which again, seems like more conformity.
also, the level of skating these things display is godlike and the fact that the footage is so disposable makes me sad for skating. Casualty of the internet.
