I agree, any added animation is better than not. What ever happened to individuality? Not that I totally hate the anal perfect hardcore realistic approach, but it does kinda all seem to blend together. Nobody really stands out and it looks like when the 1 or 2 tricks are landed they just set the controller down and pat there self on the back. It makes for fast turn around time for a video but time spent on creativity and animations makes you stand out.
Great stuff especially for throwaways
