kieren, yeah its cool to do surface swaps and stuff, but over a sick as set up what are you gonna do? a dope 180 and a blind surface swap? your sick but not chosen sick IMO. talkingtons got it all. itd be like level 1 going with another brogan, some kid who has only a handful of air tricks and only park rail presses
why is everyone flipping out of kieran? just watched his edit and the coolest things he did was the tail slide (to coming out sideways because he didn't know how to come out straight) and the tail touch blind surface swap. the rest was crap that other kids do, but do WAY better than him. i don't even know why he's in the finals... his jumps blew and his rails were nothing spectacular.
i see what hes saying. he definitely doesn't suck though, except for on jumps. a cork 3 or a rodeo was the coolest air trick i saw from Kieran... dale and john can do those onto rails, into a tail press 4 out. i think it will be tough between john and dale, but that should be the only decision. only real competition. if anyone else wins, that would be completely silly and wrong.
