may that helps
That doesn't help, that tells me this is a video editing forum.
Its all over the place here. At one end you'll see some people doing generic tricks with the emphasis on a solid edit and filming. With others having the focus on trick difficulty, creativity and having their own style. We've got the arcade skaters too, skating unrealistic with crazy hippy flip stuff, very THPS ish.
Personally I prefer the trick aspect, be it a hard combo, double grind, popless, hard gap, ungrindable or simply a standard trick with creative or perfected use of animations. If it contains any of the above I don't care if the filming is sloppy. Essentially, using the tools provided to create something unique.
As long as you know what you want to do, and strive to do it in a satisfactory manner, you should be good to go. It always show when somebody doesn't have a clue why they did the tricks they did.
I can't stand watching bland or random footage.

When it comes to tricks it is all very personal though, the majority here enjoys realistic(ish) tricks the most.
For me the most important thing is that it feels cohesive. Music, tricks, spots and edit should feel like it is striving towards the same goal.

I'm new to filming and sort of what I've been doing as emphasised on the filming rather than tricks, although I'd say tricks are more important, solid filming with good tricks should trump standard tricks with good filming imo, although Im not that great at tricks I need to to learn to film to do park promos.

tricks are more important in my book, but any old simple trick can look great if it's filmed well
