On a serious note, You are spinning on and off really well. Your switchups are pretty illin too. Your style isn't bad at all, but now that you have dialed these tricks and are starting to make them look easy, i would work to make them OOZE of steeze. Just work on makign them super smooth. That last rail was pretty fucking smooth

Here, I'll be the first one to actually give you feedback: I liked it. You really have your 450's out dialed. On a few of the switch up's you were of balance afterwards.(I'm not saying this in a bad way, i can't do it.) I liked it. I also liked your 540 tail grab thing. Keep it up buddy.

Work more on reverts, and unnatural shit because everything else you have got down like it's nothing.

half of it was unnatural, but by reverts you mean like pretzels, or what?

I mean unnatural spins on/off and switchups. Also I do mean pretzels when saying reverts which should come anyways through praticing unnaty switchups and whatnot.

I liked it a lot, I think the only thing you could improve is tucking up your legs more, but I don't wanna say what your doing now is bad, im just saying that to make it stylier...

I really enjoyed that. I guess the only thing i really saw that you could improve on is just making it smoother. The last rail probably looked the best just cause u were really steezy. The butter 3 was sick too.

when you do the 450 off, its a bit hucked
don't take that the wrong way-yr way better than me- just think lower on the rail would look better, and i think slower rotations off, even if less spin, looks much better.
its still sick tho...

do your spins on and switch ups on longer rails. looks like you got that shit on lockdown but it would be way sicker if it were longer rails

deffinatley, those are a bit to small for the amount of spins your doing onto on and off the rails, but it looks awesome, if i sponsered people, i would sponser you...

Take the following criticism for what you paid for it..
The major thing I can see that you could improve on is your hand position. Technically you have everything but you tend to let your trailing (uphill) hand rise and pass behind your hip. Controlling the amount of movement you have in your hands, keeping them quieter and lower will dramatically improve the overall impression people (read judges) will get watching you slide.
When people talk about style and such often what impresses them is what they DON'T actually see. A quiet upper body gives an appearance of control and confidence. This is one of the things that makes guys like Jon and Tanner so watchable, the lack of obvious movement makes things they do look like an afterthought.
Of course this opinion was only formed based on the material you provided.
