Awesome rider, but does about one minute of pulled tricks really need to be made into a four-minute video?

----To be fair really, it wasn't all shaky handcam stuff, no one mooned the camera etc., in short, it had some artistic merit without ruining the good riding that was there. These days if someone wants to put out a short riding clip with some really good riding in it somewhere, and the rest isn't just annoying nonsense, then I'm willing to keep my mouth shut, and consider it just another part of their overall expression. *shrug*  ;D

it looks cooler to a 14 year old who is more concerned about looking cool than pulling tricks as close to technically perfect as possible.

Insane clip. I don't understand how he pivots the stick B under him in a way that he can continue to roll straight, It just baffles me.

really good clip.  as a shaky hand camera operator,  I can dig the proper use of a tripod.  the riding was good too.

If I saw more of him he would def be on my list of fav riders.
TOo bad I will only catch maybe one clip a year of him surface.  Would love to see more.

His back wheel riding is just so controlled it's really a pleasure to watch.
