lets all just agree that gorilla style is form following function, it allows your center of gravity to be low therefore you have more control over your balance. is someone had doen that in the 90's it would have be ridiculed but since tanner does it, it is all people can do to 'imitate' it. it really is just an easier way to balance, try that shit superman style straight up and down and we will all understand why we all steall tanners style..
