The biggest difference is that I just go up and come back down.
Billy and Jayson do about 52 tricks while up there.

I am still happy just to go high and land, maybe throw a trick every once in a while. That's good enough for me.

I remember when I started (windsurfing background), my goal was to to a double backroll, double front, some transitions etc. I thought it would take forever, and remember thinking "when I can do that, I will be happy".

Well, all those things were accomplised pretty quickly and I am still pretty happy. Billy and Jay are always getting better, pretty great to see.

I too would rather watch those two all day long than most PKRA stuff.
But, I bet those riders would be more entertaining if the PKRA had different "rules" on how to get high scores during an event.

Oh yeah I love that transition J does too... I was asking about it just other day trying to get the whole thing in my head. I learn a *LOT* just from studying the better riders. I learn something completely different from each of them and try to apply it to my riding...

Ruben rides balls out, no doubt about that. I am amazed he can still walk after some of the powered slap down landings from those kite loops, on a fairly big board even. Crazy.
