This might not make sense but say you are doing a sw lip 2 back 4 out. I’m not good enough but when dudes kinda pretzel for a second and stop their rotation and then keep going. It looks so good. I’m u all know the sam zahner 5 swap clip from March. That’s a perfect example of that stopping your rotation and going again

at the highest level, I feel the 'look back' is what really makes the continuing spins pop - eg Finn Bilous
also, controlling so precisely and stomping so hard you end up in 'wheelie' - eg Andy Partridge

If you do this then more often then not continuing tricks are way cooler. It shows you've got total control. Going bs then fs the bs is just a lot of hopping though which is meh
