    i never get sloppy landings since i land tricks perfect all the time.

    for me, the aesthetics of a trick are very important. sloppy landings are a stylistic device which, when used correctly, can add a lot to a trick. but overdoing it by adding sloppy landings to a flatground trick or something everybody has dialed is just silly.
    show us your teeth and show us your tits and show us the scars from the shit that you did.

    I realize this is probably a joke but it makes me think
    Part of the dedication to this series is getting back up to try it again
    Skate always made you bail and hardcore can be even more relentless, unforgiving.
    Every single little thing we do and put in our videos has a reason behind it. Really quite crazy.
    I think that some people here have even started perfecting bails to get ones that look realistic.
    Something I've just recently put to words actually;
    If Everything you tried worked, Then what's the point in having drive?

    I like sketchy skaters. Barletta, Dollin, Boserio etc.
    That being said, I don't usually go for it like Demz does (mad respect) unless the trick I'm going for lacks substance.
    Certain reverts and angled landings look super dope with certain sketch animations.

    as Ayreon can attest,i'm pretty OCD when it comes to landing tricks.
    it's more landing sideways than the animation that bugs me,i just hate seeing a trick landed that 99% of the time you'd just stop and fall forward with momentum.
    really depends on the trick and how the animation looks to me.some look cool,some not so much.

    Sloppy landings: No, Sketchy landings: Yes.
    ^ this!

    as long as my fakeskater maintains his travelling speed, i'm sometimes glad when these "sketchy animations" happen, while landing almost straight. videos with only "perfect landings" can be boring as hell i think.

    what i think is really ugly, are these landings on style = loose when you master a big drop and the skater is landing in a way where he bends his knees and upper body in a very strange way.

    I'm with Gizz here.
    Perfection is boring.

    And as a guy who almost is doing exclusively lines, I don't get the right to complain when I'm 3 tricks into a line that has taken me 40 minutes to do.
    Fuck I go with what I get.

    lol in what way is demzillas sloppyness different? just because he started using those kind of clips first doesnt make him or the landings unique.

    Yah I have to agree, we can be more forgiving in a line scenario
