Great discussion here.
I think its all down to personal preference with regards to hc/ non-hc. If someone puts out a great solo or part on normal im not gonna mind, actually im probably going to like their non-conformity. If hc doesnt match with their style well thats okay.
As for people pretending to skate hc... we'll let the kids table worry about that.
On a different note i think id like to see a pawn and skatevid gaps video on easy mode...
