Ross McArthur Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Don't know how anyone can rate x up to drops. It's the lamest trick going. The crank flip to drop on the other hand was rad. When you're doing it 'panzy fast' like they are its lame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 No, x up to drop is always lame. It's one of the things that really pisses me off on trials videos. Especially when people talk about "stylin it up" and shit like that. People just chuck it in because it's easy but it looks shit.The crank flip at 2.15 is a million times better than any x up drop.

Mark W Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm not a big fan of X-Ups in general, but guys like Edd Tongue and Kris Leeson used to make them look pretty awesome. Having said that, shonky style can make anything look balls, no matter how good the actual trick is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd totally agree with this but likewise good style can't save a shonky trick and x up to drop is a rotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I might have todo an X-up drop in my next video. Watched this earlier, was gonna post it up, thinking some may enjoy it. Guess not. Intro was terrible. Riding was, the same? I liked RTB5, but this is just as bad some TGS and bmx videos. 3 tricks in 3 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm somewhere completely in between the two apparent views on this. Clearly they've got some moves, and some of the tech is good. But there's so much cheese in there it's almost unbearable, and totally ruins a potentially decent video. Don't regret watching, wouldn't watch again.

manuel Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 If they concentrated on riding some rad stuff more, and making a video less, this would probably have been really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
