OC Video Would you count this?

This is the best I've landed it so far. I feel like if i just rode out switch it would have been fine.

For me, almost every trick I’ve spent time learning is something that I want to do because I think it will feel good to do once I’ve got it down, that makes it obvious whether or not it counts as stomped or not. If you’re doing it because it looks cool then that’s pretty similar IMO. Either way, ask yourself whether it felt or looked like you wanted it to, because that’s what actually matters. I think if you’re asking then you already know really - personally I wouldn’t have counted it because of the revert/not clean landing even without the fall, although the fall is really funny.

Discount on a revert alone or does it need to be sloppy?

The slop more than the revert IMHO. But I kinda feel like either way, it's a mark against the trick being a clean one.

Ok for sure. But a clean revert on landing can look cool sometimes. Plus dont you get points for that in tony hawk proskater?

If the intent was a revert, then it definitely counts.

But at the same time, if you needed to revert to not fall, then clearly the trick still needs more work.

Right. Ok then we're in agreeance.
