No doubt Viki has mad skills but originality at a pro level he does not. Sorry to see after 4+ years working side by side with MK all he came away from KGB with is a frame and all Martti's tricks. I know I'm pissing off some people by saying this but I'm as equally pissed by not seeing the old Viki. All's he's done is put everything in fast forward. Wow, you're an asshole, and blind if you think that's all Martti in that video. edit: seriously what video are you watching? EVERY combo he does in this video has some of Viki's tricks in it. If you honestly think that he's ripping off Martti in this video anywhere, you should point out where, and hand in your credentials as a credible judge because as far as I'm concerned you should never be sitting at a judges table again with this kind of skewed vision.

That's interesting because he was doing that 360 flip to halfpacker in 2003 at the beja worlds which can be seen here towards the end of the video:Beja Flatland worldsViki STILL has tons of his own stuff. Just because they both do fire hydrants doesn't mean they're somehow clones. Their style of riding is so incredibly different. It takes a really obtuse personality to see the two ride back to back and go "DURH SAME THING!".
That wasn't a legitimate observation. You don't know what you're talking about and you're clearly too blind to see a difference between the two riders. I have no problem calling someone an asshole who makes completely false statements about another riders riding whether it's a beginner, or a pro like Viki. That sh*t shouldn't be tolerated, period. To make blanket statements like that when you can't even point out what tricks are being bitten (or worse, can't even distinguish between tricks enough to tell who did what) is stupid. Martti did not do those boomerangs. Please show me a video where he does the ones Viki is doing. Also, show me a video where Martti does those undertakers like Viki does. edit: you're right, you're not some punk kid getting on here being childish. You're a veteran rider who is ignorant of what two completely different riders are doing in two very different directions and calling one of them a clone of the other when there is video proof that it's not a case. At least the punk kid has an excuse to be ignorant, he's a punk kid. You on the other hand do not.
