Personally to me what makes a good skater is not how many tricks he knows but if he can do these tricks with syle that makes others wanna watch

i think its the style the person throws the trick with...
i dont really care bout the trick too much cus i really dont pay all that much attention to their skates specifically, i look at their whole posture usually
and the best styles i think are the ones that make the trick look fun and make me want to go and try that trick after i see it

I think style matters more. Anybody can pull off a trick but its the way they add flash to it. The more style you put into it, the hotter the trick looks.

yea i agree with the others, david sizemore for example,his does sick tricks but his style is quite funny and therefore he does not get a lot of views ,and you see other skaters with better style having more views its just simply more pleasing to the eye.

style is importian i like when someone can do a trick right while adding there own flare to it. make it there own a little but not changging the integredy of the trick.

without style tricks would be robotic and swagless and then we would end up pathetic and shit .... like cheerleaders giving some guy hed under the bleachers
watch franky morales or Murda doing like 5-6 switchups in a row on a ledge waxed to perfection

I think honestly its style leading to difficulty...a 5 or 6 switchup grind isnt easy...but the way some guys make it look easy is the essence of our sport. I love pulling a perfect 540 and styling it out with a grab or something than a 720 and looking like im trying too hard for the trick. The satisfaction i get from bigger tricks is purely my own...but the style is something everyone can enjoy and admire.
