When does something become Old? When everyone does it?....flatmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15095869438938508869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993606296984863193.post-79675025271506142002008-12-17T02:24:00.000-08:002008-12-17T02:24:00.000-08:00thats a very good point, E.alot of people do over ...thats a very good point, E.<BR/>alot of people do over look this difficulty aspects and alot of the time oldskool riding just gets overshadowed by whats considered "current".<BR/><BR/>Personally I dont tend to seperate the two as much - I know when I see a trick thats pure solid to pull and give it justice regardless of its old/newskool status - and I also know when i see a link full of pumping halfpackers.EZChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720006734819551557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993606296984863193.post-88846189610221509952008-12-17T02:19:00.000-08:002008-12-17T02:19:00.000-08:00you bring me to a question chris, that bothers me ...you bring me to a question chris, that bothers me a little bit... if something is considered old school does that make it worse than new school? ive heard people generalise like that, not as simple as that!!<BR/>for example is a double perverted brakeless that chase did eons ago worse than a turbined steam or time machine variation, thats considered new school but isnt.<BR/>haha.<BR/>good debate.<BR/>although there is no debate on chase being the man!!flatmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15095869438938508869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993606296984863193.post-54595977301122146742008-12-17T02:09:00.000-08:002008-12-17T02:09:00.000-08:00going to buy this for Chase's and Akihiko Takahash...going to buy this for Chase's and Akihiko Takahashi's section alone.<BR/><BR/>anyone who says chase is oldskool is a pure nutjob - we all still see people doing bloody turbine timemachines in top level contests yet some of chase's next level tricks are considered outdated? yeh, right.EZChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720006734819551557noreply@blogger.com
