IMO Sir Rowdy is just that>>> a 6 foot 3 overtly rowdy claimer, of skateboard clad capable of claiming mutilple tricks in single move - who thinks style is wearing his pants below is underwear. In my day we had no choice, our pants would fall down to below our naked skinny little arses because we had no food and no money to buy a belt. If ppl told me then that I was stylyn I would have flat out punched em in the kisser!

I do like a bit of drama within the ranks tho, makes for an entertaining evening instead of playing bingo with all them old flabby chicks in my home. Why with their boobs hanging lower than my left nut, I would def much rather read this forum!

I agree with sid.

Now back to topic. My most recent insight in to style vs difficulty is this.....we all want to be the greatest, esp. in youth. Now you can be great with both difficulty and style, it is putting the two together which makes for a good show ie. gets respect.

My hypothosis is that large riders like Rowdy are more in to style while shorter riders are about difficulty of move. The little guys are handicapped because they just can't style while the big guys are at a physical disadvantage doing the difficult stuff. Note: a big person will always look better doing the same move as shorty...pros and cons to being big or small......keep it coming.

No way!!! a post with some sort of logic??? ban him!! haha

But what you said actually sounds pretty reasonable. Except thaat hadlow is actually pretty tall and so is phillip soven professional wakeboarder (the king of spin).
I would have actually thought that smaller people focus on style more because it comes so naturally to them

I think that size plays into it but in a different way, heres my theorys.
If you are small (short) you have to try alot less to make something look stylish, it just happens, your limbs naturally stay closer to your body , you are closer to the board for balance and grabs and you have to use less strength to move or pull yourself around or closer to the handle because you have a smaller distance to travel.

If you are tall you have to consiously think alot more about what you are doing and whether your limbs are flailing about through the air hahaha.

Perfect example is jamie o'brien, he manages to keep his size under wraps really well, he surfs super good and has a sick style all while being 6'4ft+.....

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!!

maybe AH is just having a bit of fun an chilling a bit not taking himself as serious as half of you numbskulls

Who really gives a schit

^^^^ Nicely Done!!! ^^^^
